Covid-19 has impacted our world in more ways than one. It has turned our world upside down, creating issues left and right. Tom Friedman from New York Times talks about the major changes that the pandemic has had on our global affairs. The first point he made was how President Trump has handled political norms. From the beginning, Trump has been an unusual president due to the way he carries himself and handles his political affairs. Trump has always been strong-headed and confident in what he says, which is not always the best. The way Trump has approached the global coalition with China has given them confidence that while Trump will be in office, he will never be able to galvanize the coalition.
The second potential change is in regards to the innovation that potentially will outbreak when the pandemic ends. The pandemic created a lot of loss and took a lot of things away from people. This pandemic made a lot of people and families struggle. Lots of jobs were lost and finances were challenged. When the pandemic ends, innovation and creativity will explode.
The final impact is globalization and technology. With the constant need for new and better technology, especially during the pandemic, technology will only continue to grow. Many found easier ways to connect with friends, family and work at home through technology. This will continue to grow as companies continue to develop their technology creating a more interdependent world.
