The COVID-19 global pandemic has brought new challenges to nearly every aspect of social life. People have faced significant changes in family, education, the economy, politics, administration, organization, religion, law, and international relations. The question of how many of these new situations and changes are temporary, and how many will lead to permanent and fundamental changes in society, in a technical sense, is a pressing issue today.
This book aims to address, understand, and give meaning to this great trial experienced by people in times of disaster, calamity, extraordinary and difficult circumstances, using the COVID-19 pandemic as an example. To this end, the study examines disasters and calamities like the COVID-19 pandemic in 20 chapters by expert researchers across the dimensions of humanity, society, faith, religion, history, governance, and communication.
