social crisis

A social crisis can be sudden and immediate, or it can be some gross societal inequity which might take decades to develop, or it could be a wide range of scenarios or situations which fall somewhere between those conceptual modes. This can include

• a political crisis such as a coup d'etat, or mass civil disorder, due to political and/or social disorder, due to military conflict, or mass protests, or dysfunction within any part of or the central body of government.
• an economic crisis which can range from or include a possible financial crisis, currency crisis, or any economic shock, or any breakdown or major dysfunctions within the economic system,
• or a major upheaval due to a natural disaster, which can include severe weather, or epidemics, or drought, or famine, or other events related to the natural world.

A social crisis can consist of one, some, or all of these factors, in any combination.{{cite journal | doi=10.3389/fsoc.2020.583638 | doi-access=free | title=Covid-19 as a Social Crisis and Justice Challenge for Cities | date=2020 | last1=Haase | first1=Annegret | journal=Frontiers in Sociology | volume=5 | pmid=33869508 | pmc=8022683 }}{{cite journal | url=https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.1111/joms.12624 | doi=10.1111/joms.12624 | title=Movements, Societal Crisis, and Organizational Theory | date=2020 | last1=King | first1=Brayden G. | last2=Carberry | first2=Edward J. | journal=Journal of Management Studies | volume=57 | issue=8 | pages=1741–1745 }}{{cite journal | doi=10.1016/S2468-2667(20)30084-0 | title=COVID-19, school closures, and child poverty: A social crisis in the making | journal=The Lancet Public Health | date=May 2020 | volume=5 | issue=5 | pages=e243–e244 | last1=Van Lancker | first1=Wim | last2=Parolin | first2=Zachary | pmid=32275858 | pmc=7141480 }}{{cite journal | url=https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/abs/pii/S1352023703001023 | doi=10.1016/j.jgi.2003.12.011 | title=Information Inequality: The Deepening Social Crisis in America: Herbert I.
