THE POLITICAL AND

POLITICAL GOVERNANCE ISSUE TODAY IS

ABOUT THE COVID-19
PANDEMIC AND HOW TO
REVIVE LOCAL ECONOMY.
THIS IS PARTICULARLY TRUE ABOUT OUR LOCAL
POLITICS, CANDIDATES AND THEIR CAMPAIGN
PROMISES. AND WHAT’S TRULY SAD IS MORE
VOTERS ONLY REMEMBER WHAT CANDIDATES
DISHED OUT IN CASH AND GROCERIES DURING
THE PAST CAMPAIGN.

A CANDIDATE’S PLATFORM ON HEALTH AND

ECONOMY CAN EASILY BE DISSECTED BY THE
WELL-INFORMED WHO CAN EASILY SHARE WHAT
IS BENEFICIAL AND ACHIEVABLE FOR THE
BENEFIT OF THE GOVERNED.

SO HERE’S A BROTHERLY ADVICE TO

TRADITIONAL POLITICIANS WHO WISH TO STAY
ON, OR MAKE A COMEBACK OR TO THOSE WHO
WISH TO ENTER PUBLIC SERVICE FOR THE FIRST
TIME – YOU CAN FOOL YOUR CONSTITUENTS
ONCE, BUT YOU CAN NEVER FOOL THEM ALL THE
TIME.

THAT’S THE NEW NORMAL IN POLITICS.

PANDEMIC HAS
AFFECTED THE
ECONOMY, FROM
EMPTY SHELVES TO
HIGHER PRICES

THE CORONAVIRUS
PANDEMIC IS A
WARNING FOR
HUMANITY. IT IS A
REMINDER THAT,
DESPITE ALL OUR
TECHNOLOGICAL
PROGRESS, HUMANITY
REMAINS VULNERABLE
TO CATASTROPHES
THAT SHAKE THE
WORLD.
SOCIAL THIS WILL BE OUR NEW
NORMAL. THIS
INCLUDES WEARING OF
MASKS IN PUBLIC
PLACES, SOCIAL OR
PHYSICAL DISTANCING

THE WAY OF LIFE IN

THE LAST 10 YEARS
HAS BEEN AND WILL BE
DRASTICALLY
CHANGED.

ONE OF THE THINGS

THAT WE CAN HEAR
NOWADAYS IS THE
PHRASE “THE NEW
NORMAL.”
 SOCIAL DISTANCE
SOLATION
CARRIES A NUMBER OF
CONSEQUENCES AND CHANGES. FROM
THE NEED TO FEEL CONNECTED TO THE
LOVED ONES, TO MUCH MORE
PRACTICAL ISSUES OF DAILY LIFE,
SUCH AS ASSISTING THE ELDERS WITH
THEIR HEALTHCARE NEEDS.
ALTRUISM FEAR
WE SHOULD HELP OTHERS, THE FIRST FEELING THAT
CREATE NETWORKS AND SEIZED US WAS FEAR.FEAR
ASSIST THE MOST OF PERSONAL FINANCES AND
VULNERABLE. THE FEELING OF FEAR OF LOSING A JOB. AS A
ALTRUISM IS PRESENT IN A CONSEQUENCE, THESE
FEARS ARE CLEARLY
LARGE PART OF SOCIETY.
REFLECTED IN CONSUMER’S
CHANGES HABITS.
CULTURAL
THE EFFECT OF NEW
EVENTS SUCH AS THE NORMAL IN CULTURE
1918 INFLUENZA HITS DIFFERENT
PANDEMIC AND THE BECAUSE IT REALLY
RESURGENCE OF CHANGE THE WAY OF
