Social Unrest

Social unrest refers to a situation in which a significant number of people in a society express dissatisfaction or agitation, often resulting in protests, demonstrations, or other forms of collective action. This phenomenon typically arises from grievances related to economic, political, or social issues, such as inequality, injustice, or lack of democratic representation. Social unrest can manifest in various forms, from peaceful protests to violent riots, depending on the intensity of the issues at hand and the government’s response. It often highlights underlying tensions within a community or society, reflecting deep-seated frustrations and demands for change. Social unrest can serve as a catalyst for social movements and can lead to reforms, but it may also result in crackdowns and suppression by authorities.
