Make a presentation on feminism theory of sociology and culture bringing this theory in practise - how would you understand the covid 19 pandemic the sociological perceptive ASAP
The entire world is trying to abide by the new normal and it really shakes us from the core to feel that things will never be the same ever.Even though COVID-19 has created an extended emergency, it will end. Shops will open and the streets will soon be filled with pedestrians. What that means is that we will all have to learn to live with the risk posed by the coronavirus, just as people needed to persist in the times of polio and other contagions. Many of our readers are scholars and teachers who are now planning to resume their duties this coming Fall. Already, governors in the U.S. are considering opening businesses and allowing more travel and commerce.Social norms that curate the mundane, and guide everyday behaviour, change – often gradually – over time. In a pandemic situation, the social code of conduct is suddenly revised to address the public health crisis. It is becoming ‘normal’ to keep a 2-meter distance with one another, and fulfil the 20-second hand-washing rule. These quickly learned behaviours are adopted in response to the public health emergency and were previously not a part of our everyday life. Moreover, while adapting to the rapidly changing guidance for the public, we are swiftly and proactively changing our ways of being.
When a crisis begins, it is all too easy to retreat into a monotonous cycle of pessimism. The news, every day, brings us examples of bad decisions and poor behavior. Instead, we should take stock of the marvelous thing that is humanity. We are creative, compassionate, and brilliant. We can see this in our healthcare workers, frontline workers, first responders, teachers, medical researchers and all the people trying to make a living in this tough time. It’s an uphill road, but we can make it to the top.
