Summary/Abstract: The coronavirus pandemic has created a new kind of culture shock. It has affected essential and highly personal elements of many people’s lives within their own environments. A culture shock of this magnitude has not occurred since WWII. The societies have already faced negative effects from the disruption of people’s lives caused by coronavirus – health problems, high levels of unemployment, social discontent, challenges for democratic governance, violence. When the pandemic ends, societies will be quite different from what they were in the pre-coronavirus era.
