No society is totally static. Social change entails its structural change which influences the socio-economic life patterns. Human beings change his occupation for various reasons. The pivotal reason is that to be economically well off. Presently, in the rural area of Bangladesh, changing phenomena on occupation are available. Major part of the people leaned over shrimp's cultivation leaving their old ones. Though apparently it seems that shrimp cultivation brings the economic gain but its impact on up-coming future will be tremendously worse. It keeps adverse impact on rest of other occupations also. Rural poor people are affected socially, politically, economically and environmentally owing to shrimp culture. Shrimp cultivation has increased in rural area over the years but not in planned way and as such creates problems for local people. No specific policy is appropriate to solve their problem. For such reasons, the anti attitude of the rural victims towards shrimp cultivation has been developed and then turned into a social agitation against it. As a result most of them are turning back to their old professions.
