PANDEMIC HALT-AN OPPORTUNITY FOR RESTRUCTURING, REVISION AND CREATIVITY

Summary/Abstract: After the first wave of the fear of the unknown, we are given a chance to revise our collective behaviors, as well as change the detrimental patterns and habits we have adopted while chasing industrial advancement and business development. We might be able to save some of the damages made by returning to at least two crucial endeavors that we haphazardly abandoned when liberalism was challenged.
