Why Corona-virus is not just a disease
UNDERSTANDING THE CORONA VIRUS PANDEMIC Critically Thinking Aloud2020 •
The Corona-virus pandemic has taken a political twist that has made fighting it become a real problem. The term social distance seems a non innocent term meant to create an individualistic world with no social identity. The language used are often sugarcoated to usher in some political and social agenda which at the end turns out to be unethical.

Corona Pandemic as an Invisible-Manifest Civil War2020 •
With the unprecedented speed of diffusion, and with the unimagined persistence in disturbingly challenging human interaction from minute to mega level, the Covid-19 has now become a major preoccupation for experts as well as the lay people everywhere. Coronavirus has not only jeopardized human health, but has even more effectively disrupted human lifeworld in a limitless fashion. Simultaneously, it is also a fact that the time interval between pandemics is shortening and the density and destructive power of each new one is increasing. This means that humanity is not threatened by only a particular virus, but it is experiencing the situation of a devastating trend of intensifying pandemics. Obviously, there have been increasing attempts, scientifically and otherwise, to find answers regarding pandemics in general and for Coronavirus in particular. There is also a consensus that Coronavirus comes from wildlife and its threat for humanity is persistent. It seems, however that questions about possible ways and approaches to prevent or to resolve the riddle of pandemics requires something more than what paradigmatically dispersed and discursively confined "knowledge" of present Age can provide. This article is an attempt to encounter this phenomenon from an interdisciplinary standpoint. It is claimed here that all questions, fears, and anxieties regarding Coronavirus can be answered if it is recognized that the contemporary Lifeworld has already been a world-in-crisis due to the requirements of technicization the results of which are now fully manifested in apparently intrusive, but world-imbedded-deadly virus.
Nobody ever in this world would have imagined such a situation or crises will occur in our life all just because of a very small microorganism called CONRONA VIRUS. The whole world is facing this pandemic restlessly and the outbreak of the corona virus was an unprecedented incident that took the entire world by storm. It has caused a lot of chaos all around the world, not only affected lives of people but also diminished the economy of every country. There have been many pandemics (Plague, flu, cholera, etc.) over the centuries, which have brought humanity to its knees. But each time we (humanity) have shown our resilience/strength and have gotten back on our feet. Although it might be seen as a success, we mustn't forget that we've lost hundreds of thousands of lives each time and we have always been at mercy to the laws of nature. Even now, even after centuries of progress in every possible field and even with our medical and healthcare system being so advanced and capable, we are, yet again, at mercy of nature, with COVID-19 taking thousands of lives every day and the numbers increasing with each passing day. This goes to show that, each time humanity gets hotheaded and thinks they've reached their pinnacle, there is always something in store that will bring us down and that, nature is always all-prevailing. This pandemic had and will continue to have its repercussions felt many years into the future. There hasn't been an event that has brought humanity together as one, on such a large scale, in our lifetime and I hope this is the only one.

Let's Change Lanes: The Lessons of Coronavirus2022 •
Humanity has been struggling with a pandemic that has been effective in the economic, political and social fields of the world for the last two years. Although there are many reasons for the spread of the coronavirus on a global scale shortly after its emergence in Wuhan, China in October 2019, scientists have explained the emergence of the epidemic in such a short time with interdependence and globalization. Edgar Morin's book Let's Change Lanes: The Lessons of Coronavirus is about the social impacts and emerging problems of the pandemic caused by the coronavirus. In this study, Morin claims that new world order is possible based on humanism, based on the experience of uncertainty created by the coronavirus pandemic and the teachings of the future crisis. In this respect, we will focus on the book's evaluations of what a new world order is.

The hidden side of the coronavirus tragedyPolicy Brief
The pandemic that poses challenges beyond health2021 •
The more we can advance in knowledge about the New Coronavirus (COVID-19), the greater are the chances of fighting it. In this sense, the achievements of science have been impressive. However, it is essential to reflect on the impacts of the current pandemic on the economic, political, and social spheres, beyond the acceleration of global power reorganization whose epicenter may no longer be restricted to the developed West. Concerning the economy, the scenario is of bankruptcies and market concentration among large companies. In the orbit of politics, polarization, and worsening of xenophobic nationalism. In the social sphere, unemployment and increasing inequalities. About global power, the growing projection of East Asia is imposed on decision-makers at the same speed with which dissent divides opinions on these themes.
