Abstract

This article presents an autoethnographic examination on how people are living and experiencing the turnabout in their lives during the COVID-19 pandemic. From the educational landscape going towards faith in mankind to the psychological, social, environmental, and philosophical arena, this article gives reflections on hopes for a democratic future. In sharp contrast, the post-pandemic world is open to social disparities, digital divides, health inequalities, and social crises, but there are also new possibilities and realities. The next generation of students should be educated to be humane, to face the fear of the unknown, and to protect planet earth from biopolitical ecology and neoliberalism. Until such time, the article calls on unity in the fight against COVID-19 while maintaining a balance between reality and disorientation and holding into a psychological blanket of social support through cyberspace amid the crises.
