A social phenomenon refers to any behavior, event, or trend that occurs within a society and influences the way people interact with one another. These phenomena can arise from cultural, economic, or political changes and can be observed in various forms, such as social movements, fads, or collective behaviors. They often reflect the values, beliefs, and norms of a community. Understanding social phenomena is essential for analyzing how societies function and evolve. Researchers study these occurrences to identify patterns and implications for social change. Examples include the rise of digital communication, the impact of globalization, and shifts in public opinion on important issues.
