When our school year is based on a 9 month schedule-Why?-because when this country was a farming culture, we needed more labor in the summer to tend the crops- Thuse no school.
Cultural lag, as I understand the theory, can be described through the classic example of automobiles. Automobiles are a technological advancement, being a piece of materialized culture. As automobiles had made advancements through history, becoming faster, aerodynamic, fuel efficient, and all around different from the first automobile, we cannot assume that all culture connected to the automobile has equally kept up with the speed of this technology. Some roads cannot be driven on by many different vehicles. Speed limits are an ideology enforced by intimidation. Curves in roadways become unmanageable in some weather conditions. Driving has become a very dangerous part of life. The risks of death by transportation are higher than some drugs. Thus, the concept of a vehicle has not been consistant relative to time and space. If the advancement of roadways kept up with the technology of vehicles, cultural lag would not exist in this case. However, vehicles have advanced much faster than roadways have.
Another example would be the technological advancements of today. Computers have allowed myself to write a biased, unqualified explanation of a complex theory. The ethics, morality, limitations, exceptions, and enforcement of these values have yet to be determined.

How is lag time affected by distance?
The impact of an event happening at a distance takes some time to reach the observer. This is the lag time and, as the distance increases, the lag time increases. The increase depends on the velocity of transmission of the information. For example, the lag time for a flash of lightning depends on the speed of light; the lag time for the clap of thunder depends on the speed of sound; the lag time for the person that the lightning bolt missed depends on how fast they can run to you.
