We can't understand the sentence without more context.

A mere fragment; not helpful. Give us enough to know what the person was talking about. Perhaps a paragraph or so.

... and tell us where you found it and who wrote it.

Please read post 12. Instead of providing links that we have to click on and then search for text, please take the time to type the text you don't understand into your posts so that we can read it direct from the forum.

Exactly! Though it then takes a few more seconds to check that copying and pasting hasn't messed up the format etc. However, the fact remains that we want the text in a post on the forum, not in a link.

Clicking on 'paste as plain text' would spare you the trouble.

All parts!
First, "four social trends" means four social facts?

'Trends' and 'facts' have different meanings in your native language.
