adapt to and change each other

reciprocal adaption and modification process


Explanation:
Adaptation is one of the most important issues in sociology, which maintains the social system or social structure; for example, a family should adopt social, economic and educational phenomena to maintain the familial system. Any social system like family, a state or organization needs to adopt its environment for existence or survive.
