A system is said to be social equilibrium when there is a dynamic working balance among its interdependent parts (Davis & Newstrom, 1985). Each subsystem will adjust to any change in the other subsystems and will continue to do so until an equilibrium is retained. The process of achieving equilibrium will only work if the changes happen slowly, but for rapid changes it would throw the social system into chaos, unless and until a new equilibrium can be reached.

The equilibrium model of social change was developed by Talcott Parsons, a prominent American sociologist. The model suggests that society tends to move towards a state of balance or equilibrium, adapting to changes in a stable and orderly manner.
The critical time is a politent of social workers.
If the prices are set below the level of equilibrium, the quantity supplied will be less than the quantity demanded. Introduction of minimum prices will lead to hoarding of goods, thus social welfare falls.

No, internal equilibrium is not the same as quasi equilibrium. Internal equilibrium refers to a system being in a state where there is no net change in composition, while quasi equilibrium refers to a process that occurs almost at equilibrium, but not necessarily at the exact equilibrium point.

Three important cases: Total productive surplus is maximised at consumer equilibrium. Total profit is maximised when marginal cost = marginal benefit. Social welfare is maximised where marginal social cost = marginal social benefit.
equilibrium conversion is that which is at equilibrium concentration
