Social Displacement

Social displacement occurs when individuals or groups are pushed out of their traditional social, economic, or cultural environments due to external changes. This can happen because of urbanization, economic shifts, technological advancements, or political policies, leading to the loss of community ties, livelihoods, or cultural identity. Displaced people often face challenges integrating into new settings or maintaining their previous social structures. Essentially, social displacement disrupts established social patterns, causing uncertainty and adaptation as communities and individuals adjust to new circumstances.
