social transformation
Fundamental cultural shift
Social transformation is large-scale, fundamental change in how a society is organized—its institutions, values, power structures, or ways of life.
The term often appears in discussions of movements or historical shifts: The industrial revolution brought profound social transformation.
Unlike gradual reform, social transformation implies deep structural change rather than surface adjustments.
