Youth Reaction to COVID-19
Auksė Lithuania
In my as a young person„s opinion, at first teenagers were feeling locked down at home
and lonely. They didn„t look at Covid-19 as such a big problem, but now we got used to it
and know all of the dangers of the pandemic. We found new activities and hobbies to keep
us active, got used to online schools. Sadly, we miss our friends, but we know that we need
to stay at home, and we have never thought about that earlier.Sometimes young people do
not react seriously to the situation, but Covid-19 is a great example that in difficult times,
young people can be understanding. Distance learning is a challenge for everyone, but it‟s a
great time to take a break from your daily routine and understand exactly what you want.
The most important thing now is to believe and feel great respect for physicians.At first I
was obviously happy because the schools shut down. I didn‟t really care to think about the
virus or what can happen. When I finally watched the news and talked to my family
members about it, I got very anxious and stressed. Now after more than one month in
quarantine, I got used to being at home. Online classes were difficult at first, but now it‟s
pretty easy for me. I don‟t follow the news anymore because they just stress me out.Youth
reaction to the pandemic Covid – 19 is different. Many people still think that it‟s a joke, but
more and more people are starting to take it seriously. We need to start doing something
about these global challenges.
How does the Covid Pandemic Affect
Democracy in Europe?
Stanisław-Poland
Since the dawn of civilization
pandemics swept in and out to bring
havoc and instability. They have
influenced culture and even creation of
many nations. But how is the Covid
pandemic going to affect our lives and
our future.One of the biggest things to
show up in many discussions is e-voting
(especially in Poland), mostly because
the virus has frozen many elections and
even government bodies which rely on
social interaction. There’s even a big
chance of completely electronic
bureaucracy which would not only
eliminate stagnation in the government
but even make it more efficient for its
citizens.Another possible change would
be an economical one. To be exact,
because of the pandemic we could see
an increase in automatization of many
industrial branches, such a change
could dramatically tighten the choice of
professions available to us.Finally,
because of the pandemic, there is a big
possibility of economic crisis similar or
even worse to the great depression.
Such a crisis could affect the stability of
many democracies and fragment the EU
even more.
Because of the animosity and
the low opinion of many politicians
combined with an economic crisis, there
is a possibility of the comeback of the
political climates seen in democracy in
the 20s and 30s.In the end , we are
going to see what the future brings us
and support each other in a possible
future crisis which, of course,
hopefully can be avoided or at least
better dealt with than the one in
theXXth century which caused suffering
all across Europe.
