Social unrest refers to a situation where a group of people expresses dissatisfaction or anger towards social, political, or economic conditions. This can manifest through protests, strikes, or riots, often driven by issues such as inequality, injustice, or government policies. The goal of social unrest is typically to bring attention to grievances and push for change. Factors contributing to social unrest can include high unemployment rates, discrimination, or lack of access to basic services. Historical examples include the Civil Rights Movement in the United States and the Arab Spring in the Middle East, both of which sought to address systemic issues and promote reform.
