IntroductionThe following article will focus on the change in South Africa before and after 1994 and the disorganization it brought to South Africans. South Africa has gone through a series of transitions in technology, ecology, world of work, economic progress, norms and value system, and social and political framework, Prinsloo (1998). Change is seen above all as a threat; as something negative and difficult to adapt to, thus bringing disorganization into a situation. In one study it was found that social change involves profound social transformations that influence the course of a group's history thus bringing disorganization, Auger, Crush, De la Sablonnie`re, McDonald, and Taylor (2012). Problem Statement Auger et al. (2012) asserts that the transition from apartheid to democracy caused a series of dramatic social changes that some whites viewed as negative and therefore resisted. Blacks thought they would benefit most from the transition, but it appears that lower working-class blacks continue not to benefit from the transition. Prinsloo (1998) states that in a study it is shown that all cultural groups suffer from severe trauma when it comes to social changes, especially after 1994. People in these groups experience community life as unsafe, insecure, violent and corrupt. They have a negative perception of the future and feel insecure and experience a state of distrust. These experiences contribute to tension between racial and ethnic groups and, ultimately, to the loss of morals, Prinsloo (1998). Robert E Park “We live in a time. . . of social disorganization. Everything is in a state of turmoil, everything seems to be undergoing a change. . . Any form of change that brings measurable well-being to perfect well-being as optimists are said to use different strategies to deal with critical situations in life than pessimists. Coetzee and Schreuder (2009) also mention that an optimist will perceive changes as positive and work harder to adapt to them. Conclusion In many situations change is perceived as negative and a threat, so people who encounter change are not always willing to accept it. inevitable and nothing can be done about it. People tend to be very resistant to change, but Blatt (nd) states that people also tend to perceive change as a learning experience from which they can benefit. In dealing with change individuals need to be educated about why the change is happening and what the consequences are. When they are informed they are more willing to accept the change that is suggested and will not allow the change to disorganize their life.
