How to use "Postponement" in context?
In many cultures, there is a strong belief that postpone something means to "put off" or "reschedule" a event. Consequently, the word has come to generally mean delaying or postponing something until a later time. postponement may be something that is sought out as a form of reprieve, as well as a form of humiliation. The act can be used as a means of controlling or manipulating others. Additionally, it has been shown that postponing can have a negative impact on overall well-being. This can be due to the stress that is often associated with anticipation and fear of the future.
