SARAJEVO AND THE ROLE OF CULTURE IN SOCIAL CHANGE CAUSED BY THE PANDEMIC

Summary/Abstract: The coronavirus-Covid 19 pandemic of 2020 is an epoch-making turning point that intimates a new future in many areas of life. The human temptation to follow the line of least resistance can be problematic, because in times of peace and prosperity people relax and do not conduct their lives or the business of the world at the necessary level of responsibility. And so our world has begun to teeter towards increasing inequality that provokes social unrest, political conflict, environmental destruction, and irresponsible unpreparedness for catastrophe. Any number of scientists have predicted that humanity would face the threat of a pandemic of precisely the sort that has happened and that it could well be more dangerous than that of an atomic or any other form of weapon of mass destruction, but the individuals responsible, at the level of individual states and global institutions, have failed to react appropriately by preparing for such a threat, which is what has made this coronavirus pandemic such a destructive shock for our world.
