Cultural Diffusion
Culture is constantly changing. It changes through a process
called “cultural diffusion.”

There are 3 kinds of cultural diffusion:1. Expansion2. Relocation 3. Hierarchical
Cultural Diffusion
Expansion - an innovation or idea that develops in a source area and remains strong there, while also spreading outward to other areas
Cultural Diffusion
Relocation - an idea or innovation that migrates into new areas, leaving behind its origin or source of the cultural trait.
Cultural Diffusion
Hierarchical - an idea or innovation that spreads by moving from larger to smaller places, often with little regard to the distance between places, and often influenced by social elites
