Societal change refers to the gradual evolution of human connections, behavior patterns, and cultural norms. Cultural and social institutions, beliefs, and regulations all progressively evolve, with far-reaching societal repercussions. These changes are not necessarily helpful, but they are important. A change in society can take years, if not centuries, of work. Change is inescapable in life. Man has been concerned by the process of change since time immemorial. Slavery and colonialism are stumbling blocks that everyone will encounter at some point in their lives. As a result, studying them becomes more engaging. In Chinua Achebe's Things Fall Apart, social upheavals are a constant and engrossing theme. Through the characters, conflicts, and plots of Chinua Achebe, this essay analyses these winds of change historically, religiously, socially, culturally, and politically. This study tries to uncover these inconsistencies, flaws in current social and political systems, within the post-colonial interpretations that have come to dominate Chinua Achebe's tales. Achebe examines several categories in order to resolve these fundamental societal problems that are requirements for peace, including the relationship between the onset of conflict, crime, theft, damage, violence, and conflict situations. He acknowledges that societal disputes will continue to exist unless fundamental social processes are addressed.
