“Forbidden Psychology” and Its Effect on Social Life: The curfew, which the millennium generation, ie the “Generation Z” does not hear very often, and that the 80 and 90 generations, namely the “X and Y generation”, have frequently encountered, has gained a whole new dimension after the Covid-19 epidemic.
Started to View Prohibitions Positively
The concept of “curfew”, more precisely, the ban, has started not to create a bad connotation in individuals. The curfew imposed during the epidemic became a necessity rather than a ban and a rule to be broken in the eyes of many. This situation has led to the addition of new facts to the “forbidden psychology” state.
Changing Traditions
Concepts such as hand kissing, greeting, and shaking hands that society has adopted and become a tradition started to conflict with the concept of social distance. The Covid-19 outbreak has implanted in the human mind the notion that contact with people should not be done unless necessary. In this case, when not practiced individually under normal conditions, the customs imposed by the pressure of society will spontaneously begin to change or disappear. Individuals will use other means than contact to show their love and respect. Of course, this situation will reshape our “body language”.
Conflict of Earning Money and Saving Livable
Covid-19 affected human health as well as the way economies operate. Many governments, on the grounds that there would be a decrease in economic prosperity, turned to the option of “community immunity” to improve the economy. Italy and Spain struggling with the epidemic, on the other hand, became intimidated by the lack of economic support from the European Union, and began to question the issue of unity.
As a result of all these situations, it seems that the habit of “putting aside for bad days” rather than making money seems to occur. In this case, economies may not be as vibrant as before because individuals may stop shopping outside of their needs. All these chain reactions can create a new economic era and a new human model in the long run.
The desire to be more involved in the society
Covid-19 once again showed individuals how connected they are to society. In particular, the example of South Korea, that is, the negligence of a person and the emergence of the epidemic worse again, reminded the individuals of the importance of controlling the society they are in.
For example, a person who does not cover his mouth while sneezing began to remind people to obey the hygiene rules by putting pressure on the members of society. Concepts such as “extreme individualism”, “introversion”, “self-abstraction from society” seem to re-emerge the need for “us” instead of “what to me” attitude. Individuals understood that living without other people is difficult and even impossible. This situation seems to fundamentally change societies.
