A Society Can Exist For A Short Time In The Equivalent To A Supercooled State

A supercooled state in a material is when the actual physical properties of a material are still in a preceding state even though the temperature has changed enough to warrant a new state.Sometimes a material can be below the freezing temperature although the substance is still liquid.All it takes is a shock then the substance will assume the form most appropriate to it's environment.Likewise a society can still maintain the laws of an earlier time based on the then current conditions.However as the society or beliefs change then the laws should change along with them but sometimes there can be a lag between the new popular reality and the old laws.At this point a revolution is at hand either violent or non violent.Western societies are approaching this supercooled condition as new people move there but the laws are still enforced as if the societal conditions are unchanged.Logically western societies will assume a legal and social structure reminiscent of the newcomers homeland.
