The act of making something seem less important or less serious than it really is — and the result of doing so. It is the noun for what the verb `trivialize` does, and like the verb it is a criticism. You meet it most in serious writing about how a subject is being treated in public: "the trivialization of mental illness in advertising", "a trivialization of the war". The structure is almost always "the trivialization of X", where X is something the writer thinks deserves respect — grief, history, violence, a disease, someone's work. The complaint is usually not that anyone lied. It is about the FRAME: turning a serious thing into entertainment, a joke, a slogan, or a small shopping decision, so that people stop taking it seriously. That is why the word appears so often in criticism of media, film and advertising. Spelling: British writing usually has `trivialisation` with an s, American writing `trivialization` with a z; both are correct in their own place. `Trivialisation` is a heavy, formal word — in conversation people say "they're making it sound like nothing".
