Join us in a conversation concerning our society after
the COVID-19 pandemic. We will discuss areas that may have been impacted such as education, social interaction, aggression and violence, mental health, and other topics.

 

1.     How pandemic isolation has affected college life.

2.     Social media becoming a primary mode of communication. Communication during
COVID-19 and how it affected face-to-face communication now.

3.     How social media has made politics more partisan 

4.     How this has affected activism (George Floyd and BLM during the pandemic). Why are crime rates going up now more than ever before was it because of COVID-19?

5.     Isolation impacts the social skills of young people. Social issues going on in today's
society.

6. How norms of self-expression softened when
people had more time alone in isolation and away from the eyes of the public, both in terms of gender expression and more micro-trends appearing as subcultural gaps widened.
