How to use "Upheaval" in context?
The upheaval could be felt the moment the news broke, like a seismic event splitting the world in two. The previously unknown assailant had struck again, pausing once more between murders to leave an ominous message on social media. And once again, America's fractured society seemed to be united in anguish and horror.
Already, the news had sparked a renewed discussion about gun control and national mental health care. But for the grieving families of the victims, the real impact of this latest atrocity will be felt for generations to come.
The gunman, previously unknown to authorities, had an alarming history of erratic behaviour.
