　　Social change is more likely to occur in societies where there is a mixture of different kinds of people than in societies where people are similar in many ways. The simple reason for this is that there are more different ways of looking at things present in the first kind of society. There are more ideas, more disagreements in interest, and more groups and organizations with different beliefs. In addition, there is usually a greater worldly interest and greater tolerance in mixed societies. All these factors tend to promote social change by opening more areas of life to decision. In a society where people are quite similar in many ways, there are fewer occasions for people to see the need or the opportunity for change because everything seems to be the same. And although conditions may not be satisfactory, they are at least customary and undisputed.
　　Within a society, social change is also likely to occur more frequently and more readily in the material aspects of the culture than in the non-material, for example, in technology rather than in values; in what has been learned later in life rather than what was learned early; in the less basic and less emotional aspects of society than in their opposites; in the simple elements rather than in the complex ones; in form rather than in substance; and in elements that are acceptable to the culture rather than in strange elements.
　　Furthermore, social change is easier if it is gradual. For example, it comes more readily in human relations on a continuous scale rather than one with sharp dichotomies(一分为二). This is one reason why change has not come more quickly to Black Americans as compared to other American minorities, because of the sharp difference in appearance between them and their white counterparts.

　　Today' s students have grown up hearing more about Bill Gates than F. D. R., and they live in a world where amazing innovations(革草)are common. The current 18-year-olds, after all, were 8 when Google was founded by two students at Stanford; Mark Zuckerberg founded Facebook in 2004 while he was Harvard and they were entering high school. Having grown up digital (数字的), they are impatient to get on with life.
　　The easiest way to find kids like these is to check in on entrepreneurship(企业家才能) education, in which colleges and universities try to prepare their students to recognize opportunities and seize them.
　　A report published last year by the Kauffman Foundation, which finances programs to promote innovation on campuses, noted that more than 50,000 entrepreneurship programs are offered on two-and-four-year campuses--up from just 250 courses in 1985. Lesa Mitchell, a Kauffman vice president, says that the foundation is extending the reach of its academic influence, which used to be found only in business schools. Now, the concept of entrepreneurship is blooming in engineering programs and medical school, and even in the liberal arts. "Our interest is the programs," she says. "We need to spread out from the business school. "
　　Either as class projects or on their own, students in a variety of majors are coming up with ideas, writing business plans and seeing them through to prototype and, often, market. In their spare time, students in agricultural economics at Purdue invent new uses for bean; industrial design majors at Syracuse, in special laboratory, create wearable technologies.
　　The entrepreneurship movement has its critics, especially among those who see college as a time for extensive academic exploration. "I just don' t think that entrepreneurship ranks so high in terms of national need," says Daniel S. Greenberg, author of Science for sale: the perils, Rewards and Delusions of Campus Capitalism.
　　Leonard A. Schlesinger, Babson College' s president, says that the question of whether innovation can really be taught is "an age-old argument".

　　A.Entrepreneurship, or at least certain elements of it, can be taught.
　　B.An entrepreneurship program can help students find what they really like and entrepreneur-ship isn't all about business.
