um im almost positive that you are going to need to be able to apply a theory of social change to a particular coutry, considering that the topic is 'continuity and change'. I'm not sure if you did anything like this, but our class did a study of Papua New Guinea and looked at the continity and change within the country and used conflist theory to explain it. i assume that is what 'continuity and change; is all about.
im not sure if i answered your question...but i hope so
