Word of the Day: Upheaval
Think about the word for a second.
Upheaval means great change, not great as in wonderful, but great as in significant.
Earthquakes or other natural or even human-made disasters, such as wars, cause a lot of upheaval in people’s lives.
Houses are damaged, families have to move, and kids change schools.
These days, there is a lot of upheaval in the world.
Britain is getting out of the European Union, millions and millions of refugees are looking for a place to live in peace, and then we have America divided.
Upheaval.
Think about the world for a second.
