galvanizations
Jolts into action
Galvanizations are instances of galvanizing—either coating metal with zinc to prevent rust, or spurring someone to action.
The physical process protects iron and steel from corrosion; the figurative sense describes moments of sudden motivation or mobilization: The scandal led to galvanizations of public outrage across the country.
