CLEP Social Sciences

Answer - A - A social group is said to display cultural lag when they are completely unresponsive to a useful innovation.

Key Takeaway: The term cultural lag refers to the notion that culture takes time to catch up with technological innovations, and that social problems and conflicts are caused by this lag. Subsequently, cultural lag does not only apply to this idea only, but also relates to theory and explanation. It helps by identifing and explaning social problems and also to predict future problems.
