cultural shift
Values in flux
A cultural shift is a significant change in the attitudes, values, or behaviors of a society or group.
The phrase often describes gradual transformations that become visible only in retrospect: There's been a cultural shift in how we talk about mental health.
It can also mark deliberate organizational change: The new CEO promised a cultural shift toward transparency.
