How to use "Turmoil" in context?
No one really knows what turmoil is. To some it may just mean an inconvenience, especially if it's something they don't expect. To others, it may mean a time of great change and turmoil. For some, it may even be a catalyst for a new beginning. At its core, turmoil is simply an unsettled condition. It can be caused by external factors such as war or natural disasters, but it can also be caused by internal factors such as personal crises. Whether it's a brief moment or a long-term phenomenon, turmoil always has the potential to change things.
