What is a Revolution?
1
A revolution is an overthrow or repudiation and the thorough replacement of an established government or political system by the people governed. This is usually con by a conquering force or an uprising. History shows us that this is effective but never completely stable
2.
According to ‘Sociology’ a revolution is a radical and pervasive change in society and the social structure, especially one made suddenly and often accompanied by violence. This is more a grass roots started movement. There have been several examples of this in recent times. Arab spring is one that comes to mind.
3.
A revolution can also be a sudden, complete or marked change in something. the example given is the present revolution in church architecture. This can also be seen in the conscious of people. When the realization comes that their life is not what they want, then a personal revolution is in order.
4.
A revolution is also a procedure or course, as if in a circuit, back to a starting point. When I hear this I see a race course or a running track. I also see something revolving around a fixed point like a record on a turntable.
5.
But a revolution can simply be a single turn of some kind. It is true that what goes around comes around thus creating a revolution of its own kind.
