Vanguard 1998's definitions

romantically frustrated

A type of frustration that arises from being single and wanting to be in a romantic relationship, yet you can’t seem to find a person who you are interested in and is willing to have one with you, or being in a romantic relationship where your needs are not being met adequately. The solution to the later may be to talk to your partner about how you feel about where your relationship is going and discuss your needs with them to see if you and your partner can find a way to work things out so both of you are having your needs met.

Derek: Why has Sasha been seeming to be so sad lately?
Kelsey: She is romantically frustrated. Her boyfriend barely spends any time with her these days because he is so busy with his job. As a result, her romantic needs are not being adequately met; so she is really sad these days.
Derek: She should talk to him about it and see if they work something out so both of their needs are being met adequately.

Kelsey: Good idea. I’ll suggest that to her the next time I see her.

Societal avalanche

Or S.A.; When a major, unexpected, unfortunate event happens, which was caused by hatred and or corruption, it usually prompts the government and various populations in society to quickly mobilize to address the issue that caused the event occur, even if relatively little is known about the problem. The result of this mobilization is an avalanche of social, economic, and or political changes and reform efforts meant to prevent the issue from reoccurring and or to make it less severe when it does occur. The event produces many consequences, some are noticed immediately, while are others don’t get quite so much attention until a later point in time.

An example of a societal avalanche is the Deepwater Horizon oil spill. When the oil spill happened, governmental agencies from numerous countries found in and around the Gulf of Mexico rushed to try to clean up the oil spill. People volunteered with various environmental organizations to save as many of trapped fish, birds, and turtles as they could. Many members of the public, environmental groups, and local fishing companies pushed politicians to pass stricter regulations for companies drilling for oil offshore, pass policies to get the U.S. to get more of its energy supply from more renewable sources that are safer to employ, and pass laws to provide financial relief to the local fishing companies that were negatively impacted by the accident. An investigation from BP and the U.S. government later revealed that lack of regard for safety policies and the rushed, cheap construction of the rig were responsible for the accident.
