Seeking a common definition of "Crisis"

[Dominique R. Poirier]

Since I found your question as original as amusing I tried myself on it in introducing a bit of humor in my reflection.

Crisis is a word of bad omen expressing a relatively short lapse of time of variable duration during which events of chaotic nature, or perceived as such, arise; and whose outcome is either a return to the situation preceding it or a material or/and immaterial loss.

Also:

Crisis expresses a human negative perception of fast incidence of chaos or of an event or a chain of events perceived as such.

Or still shorter:

Crisis expresses the spontaneous appearance of chaos in an organized environment.


P.S.: is there a prize, or will you name a winner?
