How will COVID-19 influence Global Political, Economic and socio-cultural environment?
The COVID-19 is crating chaos in the world with 45 hundred
thousand infected and more than 3 lakh deaths globally and
increasing counts day by day. A virus that arise from Wuhan, china
in the late 2019 makes it its new epicentre in America. Ofcourse,
the virus's journey from Wuhan to Washington already made many
political and economical impact globally. And no doubt this journey
from Wuhan to Washington will make more chaos in the global
political, economical, socio-cultural environment
Let us discuss the global impact of Covid-19 briefly.
ECONOMIC IMPACT.
World's greatest economies like U.S, China, U.K, France, Italy,
Japan and many more countries are at the edge of a economic
disaster. Oil prices have fallen down and stock markets around the
world is sinking. In the first week only more than 3.e million
Americans reported unemployment and more tha 6.6 million people
lost their job. Managing Director of International Monitory Fund
(IMF), Kristalina Georgieva demystify that “a recession at least as
bad as during the Global Financial Crisis or worse”. Many other
economic experts and scholars have already warned about the
alarming condition of the global economic and financial
structure.
The world is facing the worst economic situation after World War-II
. When it is the matter of economic damages and human cost all the
countries have to work together and to save human creature and the
economic structure as well.
POLITICAL IMPACT.
The politic impact of Covid-19 is also as much important as the
economic impact on it. Leaders from many countries started
arguements and blamed the Chinese government for mishandling the
virus. American President Donald Trump is in the forefront of this
blame game. A China-America heated arguement started in the ealry
march on the the Covid-19, Pres. Trump called it a chinese virus
and China repeatedly warned for calling the virus chinese and
blaming them. Chances are increasing that, if there is a economic
slowdown or recession in the U.S, then definitely it could reduce
the chances, to re-elect Trump. Many other leaders like South
Korean President Moon jae-in, Japanese P.M Shinzo Abe are facing
such threat.
Post-Covid era will face many geo-political crisis. U.S-China trade
war will be a part of this.
Anyway WHO is trying to unite world countries in this difficult
time , it is trying to encourage global response based on
solidarity. As virus will not stop on the borders, only global
solidarity can prevent it.
SOCIO-CULTURAL IMPACT
The Covid has an impact on all the ambit of our normal life. It is
attacking our cultural life heavily. Libraries, Churches, mosques
memorials, community centres, museums and all cultural venues are
shut down. Festivals, cerymonies, parties, functions and all other
events, wherethere is a possibility of social gatherings are
cancelled. employees may have job loss, workers working in
freelance sector may be left for weeks and months without income.
The active involvement of social and cultural life is damaged by
the COVID-19.
