Social unrest refers to a situation where a group of people expresses dissatisfaction with social, political, or economic conditions. This can manifest through protests, strikes, or riots, often driven by issues such as inequality, injustice, or government policies. Social unrest can occur in various forms and can be peaceful or violent, depending on the circumstances and the responses from authorities. Factors contributing to social unrest include economic hardship, political corruption, and social inequality. Historical examples include the Civil Rights Movement in the United States and the Arab Spring in the Middle East. Understanding the root causes of social unrest is essential for addressing the underlying issues and promoting social stability.
