social discontent

Social discontent refers to feelings of frustration, dissatisfaction, or unrest within a community or society. It often arises when people perceive unfairness, inequality, or unmet needs, leading to protests, unrest, or declining trust in institutions. This discontent can stem from economic hardships, political repression, social injustices, or lack of opportunities. When such issues persist without resolution, they can threaten social stability and prompt calls for change. Understanding social discontent involves recognizing the underlying causes and responses that influence collective feelings and behaviors within society.
