Social Dislocation

Social dislocation refers to the disruption of social structures and relationships that can occur due to significant changes in society, such as economic shifts, urbanization, or political upheaval. When people experience dislocation, it often leads to feelings of isolation, loss of community, and instability as traditional support systems break down. This can affect individual well-being and lead to broader societal issues, including increased crime, mental health challenges, and a sense of disenfranchisement. Essentially, social dislocation highlights how changes in society can impact the way people connect and interact with one another.
