THE WORLD AFTER SOCIAL ISOLATION
After social isolation, many things left their mark on society’s lifestyle. From reinforcing the importance of hygiene and the way we will deal with our relationship with technology, a pandemic must change practices around the world, even after it ends.
After isolation, we will see diseases and health care in addition to COVID 19. The importance of hand hygiene and other parts of the body will probably remain, avoiding the contamination of other diseases that do not kill but can bring problems to our day a day. Another change in people’s lives is consumption, where measures of social isolation have changed people’s consumption habits. Before, people went shopping in supermarkets and hypermarkets frequently. Now they give more preference to small businesses and markets near their residence, in addition to the fact that the population is more aware of unnecessary purchases, which are items that are almost never used, and finally, with greater contact with the family, decisions of purchase are being more shared.
Another issue will be the increase in the immersion of technology after COVID 19, where work relationships and the way we learn in schools and universities will change a lot. The crisis accelerated several changes that were already underway in the labor market. One is greater flexibility in workers' routines, now driven by the home office. In schools and universities, with the suspension of face-to-face classes, virtual learning environments are gaining space. However, the confrontation between traditional methods of study and new alternatives will be a point of attention, requiring educators to make adaptations to their methodology. A particular issue about the immersion of technology in brazil will unfortunately be social inequality, where not everyone has the condition to work or study remotely, either due to the financial condition or simply due to the lack of quality of the services of internet operators.Another thing that has changed and will change in people's lives after isolation is the family relationship. However, it had two different effects: in prolonged coexistence you hear the creation of stronger bonds, but you also hear the appearance of more conflicts. Cases such as domestic violence become more frequent in this period, with women and children being the main victims.Therefore, there will be positive sides and negative sides after social isolation and the pandemic, so it is up to us as a society to unite together and deal with these new post-isolation adversities that will arise.
