COVID 19 and its Impact on Society
The current social issue that will be analyzed in this essay is the outbreak of COVID 19 and how it has affected people in the US and other parts of the world. The reason for choosing this social issue is because of the disruptions caused by the pandemic. Millions of people have lost their jobs, and many companies have been closed due to the pandemic. The pandemic has exposed the vulnerabilities of the financial system, communities, and individuals. It has also shown how different governments are not prepared to deal with a pandemic like COVID in their health systems. The pandemic has been instrumental in making people rethink how economic and social activities should be organized. Some of the organizations that can help reshape the post-crisis economies include cooperative, mutual, and foundations built under the principles of solidarity and cooperation.
Social Sciences Discipline used to Examine the Issue.
Social sciences play a critical role in analyzing human behavior and how society operates. The social sciences that will be used in this article are economics and Political Science. Although social sciences do not have a significant role in the production of vaccines, they can explain why some people take the vaccines while some individuals are opposed to the medications. The political scientists will be able to explain the measures that have been taken by the government and why such measures are essential for the well-being of the country. On the other hand, the economist will explain the impact that COVID has had on the communities, the nation, and the globe. The insights that social scientists provide play a critical role in guiding the government on the strategies that should be used to combat the spread of the virus. Apart from giving people vaccines, social scientists can answer questions such as how the pandemic affects people based on their age, socioeconomic status, and the short-term and long-term impacts of the pandemic on the globe.
What I Learned from the first Social Sciences: Economics
There are several things that I have learned through analyzing COVID 19 as using economic as a social science subject. To deal with the rising number of COVID cases, some protocols had to be implemented, such as social distancing The World Bank, 2020). Quarantine has also been another policy that has helped reduce the number of people affected by COVID (Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, 2021). Although the number of people that have been affected has declined, the economy has been hit hard by the pandemic. The manufacturing industry is one of the sectors that has been dramatically affected by COVID as companies shut down to reduce the infection of new people (The World Bank, 2020). China is one of the leading producers of goods, but its companies have to be shut because the virus started (The World Bank). After studying economics and how people are affected by the pandemic, I concluded that most countries do not have policies that would cushion them against such a phenomenon.
There has been a decline in Asia, Africa, and Europe with ...
