Marketers must pay attention to changes in the social$-$cultural environment in order to send effective marketing messages to their target market. Social$-$cultural changes occur incrementally, making it easy to miss the shift until it is fully integrated. These can include a change in population characteristics such as age, gender, ethnicity, income, education, and marital and parental status. The degree to which these changes take place determines the amount of diversity present in a particular market, which, in turn results in different consumer buying behaviors. Cultural values affect the way people think about and make purchases, and largely result from one's family. Consumerism is a movement to protect consumers' rights, whose values can be heard from individuals, organizations, or groups.
