The focus of this article is immigrant women’s perceptions of social change, and how they respond to it. In the article, social change refers to the fact that more people than ever before are engaged in different activities that lead to alterations in the norms and behavioural patterns of people as individuals or as a group in society. The study analysed social change via the perceptions of individuals—immigrant Nigerian women in South African higher education. In line with phenomenological research with which this article is aligned, an intrinsic qualitative case study approach—interviews—was employed to gather data. The cases involved four Nigerian women who are currently residing in South Africa and studying at higher education institutions in the country. Snowball sampling was used to select participants. Social change, as revealed in this article, is a lens that can be used to better understand individuals as a society or people. Furthermore, and in terms of materialist social theory that was utilised, this article reveals that social change relates to economic relationships between self (individuals or group) and society where survival of people is linked to surplus economic goods and the acquisition of tangible and intangible wants in order to deal with the fear of an unknown future. The article concludes that the understanding of self as a fallout of social change is a means of understanding others and vice versa, which can help people—especially locals or indigenes—conquer their fear of foreigners or immigrants.

南非高等教育中的尼日利亚移民妇女对社会变革的看法

本文的重点是移民妇女对社会变革的看法以及她们如何应对。在本文中,社会变革是指这样一个事实,即从事各种活动的人比以往任何时候都多,这导致人们作为个人或社会团体的规范和行为方式发生变化。该研究通过个人的看法分析了社会变革,即南非高等教育中的尼日利亚移民妇女。与本文相关的现象学研究一致,采用了一种内在的定性案例研究方法(访谈)来收集数据。案件涉及四名尼日利亚妇女,他们目前居住在南非,并在该国的高等教育机构学习。雪球采样用于选择参与者。社会变革 正如本文所揭示的,是可以用来更好地理解个人作为社会或人的镜头。此外,根据所运用的唯物主义社会理论,本文揭示了社会变革与自我(个人或群体)与社会之间的经济关系有关,在这种关系中,人的生存与剩余的经济商品以及获得有形和无形的需求相关为了应对对未知未来的恐惧。文章得出结论,将自我理解为社会变革的产物是一种理解他人的方法,反之亦然,这可以帮助人们(尤其是本地人或土著人)克服对外国人或移民的恐惧。并根据所运用的唯物主义社会理论,本文揭示了社会变革与自我(个人或群体)与社会之间的经济关系有关,在这种关系中,人们的生存与剩余的经济商品以及有形和无形需求的获得有关。处理对未知未来的恐惧。文章得出结论,将自我理解为社会变革的产物是一种理解他人的方法,反之亦然,这可以帮助人们(尤其是本地人或土著人)克服对外国人或移民的恐惧。并根据所运用的唯物主义社会理论,本文揭示了社会变革与自我(个人或群体)与社会之间的经济关系有关,在这种关系中,人们的生存与剩余的经济商品以及有形和无形需求的获得有关。处理对未知未来的恐惧。文章得出结论,将自我理解为社会变革的产物是一种理解他人的方法,反之亦然,这可以帮助人们(尤其是本地人或土著人)克服对外国人或移民的恐惧。本文揭示了社会变革与自我(个人或群体)与社会之间的经济关系有关,在这种关系中,人们的生存与剩余的经济产品以及获得有形和无形的需求有关,以应对对未知未来的恐惧。文章得出结论,将自我理解为社会变革的产物是一种理解他人的方法,反之亦然,这可以帮助人们(尤其是本地人或土著人)克服对外国人或移民的恐惧。本文揭示了社会变革与自我(个人或群体)与社会之间的经济关系有关,在这种关系中,人们的生存与剩余的经济产品以及获得有形和无形的需求有关,以应对对未知未来的恐惧。文章得出结论,将自我理解为社会变革的产物是一种理解他人的方法,反之亦然,这可以帮助人们(尤其是本地人或土著人)克服对外国人或移民的恐惧。
