Transformation
Disruption in society imposes upon people the necessity to learn how to live in new and changing conditions. Although many of these conditions are external to people, transformation, when it comes, comes from the changed mind-sets of people. When enough people reach a similar alteration in mind-set, the collective response becomes a driving force in a new direction generating momentum and inertia. Some call this paradigm shift but many things are labeled paradigm shifts that do not transform society. Transformation of a society is rare and it results in a different and sustained way of life.
