Action and result of transforming one or something
The term Transformation in its most basic reference says that it refers to the action and result of transforming oneself or, failing that, to something. Now, what changes does so in its form but continues to keep its identity intact.
Situations that force personal transformation
For example, the car accident that Juan suffered last year caused an incredible transformation in his life, he is no longer so preoccupied with the material issues that were previously his priority.
Issues such as the aforementioned, which imply a before and after for those who suffer from them usually trigger substantial changes in the people who go through them with regard to how they take life. Paradoxically, those people who suffer accidents like the one indicated in the example usually live at a thousand per hour, also as a consequence of the requirements of modern life, while these situations tend to become teachings, limit learning that warns that they are living too much fast and that a transformation of habits in this sense is necessary.
Some manage to do it and radically change their lives towards more positive existences, while others sadly cannot.
Physical transformations: modifying what we don't like about the body
But man does not only live from spiritual transformations, people also tend to undergo succulent physical transformations because they do not like something specific about their physiques. Cosmetic surgery and many other procedures that advances in science today bring us, allow: a person to transform his aquiline nose for a smaller one; that someone who does not have breasts can have them through silicone implants; that wrinkles disappear practicing a lifting or stretching, among so many alternatives available.
Transformation of substances
Also, in addition to transforming the essence, way of acting or being of a person, the transformation can be physical, which is one in which the object, substance, subject, changes its form, its structure, its container, but never its composition. With an example we can better understand the question ... when water freezes and turns into ice it modifies its structure, while its composition, even with a different appearance, remains the same, H2O. When water evaporates the same, all these are physical transformations that a substance undergoes. In opposition to this situation we find chemical transformations, in which there is a composition transformation.
Then to transform will imply the passage from one state to another different one.
Linguistic transformation
On the other hand, At the behest of Linguistics, the operation that formally establishes a syntactic relationship between two sentences will be called transformation.
Most of the words that make up the Spanish language come from the Latin language, however they have undergone successive transformations over the centuries, changes and consequent evolutions.
Biological transformation
And in another context in which the term also holds a special participation is in Molecular Biology. Here, transformation is known as the phenomenon by which certain cells acquire gene material from others.. That is, it is the genetic alteration of a cell that results from the introduction and expression of external genetic material.
Changes experienced by social groups due to political, economic and cultural factors
On the other hand, the concept is widely used in the social plane to refer to those changes that social groups experience as a consequence of political, economic and even cultural factors, which exert enormous pressure and then, society is transformed into the direction that they impose on it.
A few decades ago a family composed of three parents was unthinkable, but today, reproductive medicine at the service of new sexual and family choices allows it and society is accepting them, it is getting used to the idea that there will be a child who will have two mothers and a biological father.
