Yanıt Açıklaması:

Cultural Lag belongs to William Ogburn (1886-1959). Ogburn wanted to draw attention to the incompatibility that arises in the process of change in the reciprocal relationship of the material and spiritual culture in a social system. According to him, there forms a gap when the changes in material culture are followed with a certain delay by spiritual culture.
