Introduction
Social change is basically related to the changing trends with in a society like economical trends, political trends, social trends and technological developments. These are related to the evolutionary paradigm of social change of any society. However, the evolutionary paradigms of social change impacts on the social culture of every society and the various cultures existing in it. Amongst the various evolutionary paradigms of social change, lets try to evaluate the evolutionary theory of globalization and social change.

Globalization and Social Change
Social change is not a theory of one nation or one state; it is a theory that relates to every nation, every culture and every society both nationally and internationally. There was a time period when social change was not recognized internationally and globally though every state passed the evolutionary phase of its sociological development and undergoes many phases of social changes. However, the social, cultural and political paradigms play an important role in determining the evolutionary process of any theory of social change.

Evolutionary Paradigms of Globalization
In order to understand the evolutionary theory of globalization in specific context to social change, we will divide it into three main stages. National Modernization (1950-1965), Internationalization (1965-1980) and Globalization (1980- present)

National Modernization (1950-1965)
With the end of the World War II, nationalism was modernized and states started focusing on developing nationally and at the same time furthering their diplomatic, economic, political and social relations with each other by various cultural exchange programs. However, the period of 1950-1965 is recognized as the period of national modernization. It was America, who initiated this philosophy by introducing cultural exchange programs like providing full bright scholarships for specific programs related to American studies, exporting its cultural values, technology and life style to the world at large. Basically America desired to confront against its ideological and political rival Soviet Union as both were into Cold war. However, projecting a favorable picture to the world after the negative impressions of the great world wars was another motive of America, which provoked for national modernization and cultural exchange as means of social development. With this America also started promoting its economic theory of capitalism against the communist Russia.

Internationalization (1965-1980)
Internationalization is the actual evolutionary phase of globalization, which immensely resulted in global social change. The trends of international politics started changing as now cultural exchange was appreciated by other states of the world as well. Therefore, the various states started increasing cultural exchange programs to strengthen diplomatic relations with each other. Though states were still involved into arms conflict and other conflicts but it was not related to one or two nations, now every issue was an international issue. Either it was health issues, slavery, rights for women or minorities, educational issues, political issues or issues related to economic development. Every thing started internationalizing with the involvement of different states by the idea of cultural exchange programs. With this, liberalism and capitalism started strengthening its roots as a theory acceptable internationally. So this shaped the social structure into a process of internationalization, which ultimately resulted to globalization.
Globalization (1980-present)

The end of cold war and the disintegration of Soviet Union marked the recognition of globalization as the new trend of international relations and global politics. With this tremendous social changes occurred with economic, technological and political advancements. Therefore, the traditional world order was transformed completely with the new social changes resulting out of privatization, trade liberalization, free market economy, technological advancement and modernization, communication and Internet revolution. So this way the whole social system was changed. Now states are focusing on economic integration, which is bringing a new change in the society of international relations known as regionalism. As the importance of economic integration is increasing, the world is integration economically and socially with countries with in their regions.

Strengths and Weaknesses of Globalization
The evolutionary paradigms of globalization as a source of social change resulted in both negative and positive repercussions. On one hand, economic integration is heading to regionalism and free trade economy, privatization, technological advancement and cultural exchange is developing among the various countries of the world at large. The role of international organizations, regional organizations and private organizations is increasing to eliminate poverty and other social and economic problems of the world. At the same time the world is becoming interdependent on each other. Though Europe is developing at a very faster speed but America is exercising its imperialistic policies and dominating the world under a very sophisticated fabrication. The gap between rich and poor is not increasing only nationally but globally. As the developed countries are earning modern technologies and increasing their economies, the developing countries are still behind in the race. So globalization instead of ensuring positive social change in the world has introduced social, economic and political threats to the weak states.

Conclusion
Social change is directly related to the changing trends of international relations either these are economic, political or social trends. However, these are the elements of social change in any society. Though there are many contemporary theories of social change, however, globalization is mostly affecting the social system of the world at large. Therefore, globalization is one of the evolutionary paradigms of the contemporary theory of social change that at the same time is renowned for its strengths and possesses very strong weakness, which affect the order of social change.
