Hello friends!

The health crisis that the world is going through is generating kilometers of writing oriented in different directions, with different nuances and different points of view, opinions, speculations and a series of terminologies that are being established with great force in different cultures and countries.

Undoubtedly, the terms used in a pandemic season must be analyzed with great care. One of the most used terms in recent days and that has a greater probability of lasting, taking root and causing greater damage to the human psyche is SOCIAL DISTANCE.

Social distancing.

The rapid way of spreading the virus created a gap between family, friends, and neighbors; Common gatherings in squares or neighborhoods are a thing of the past for some people, not for respecting the prevention protocol established by the authorities, for many it is no longer about complying it is about survival.

We must recognize that fear takes over the collective, and although there are many people who do not adhere to the security protocol, there is a large percentage who live in fear of becoming infected.

This widespread fear will make normal activities such as going to the market, being in a park, a classroom, the cinema or the church an uncomfortable moment which many people will want to avoid in the future, it is there where the term social distancing will be present in people's subconscious making it very difficult to socialize.

Aristoteles

"The human being is a social being by nature, and the insocial being by nature and not by chance or is evil human or more than human (...). Society is by nature prior to the individual (...) who cannot live in society, or needs nothing for its own sufficiency, is not a member of society, but a beast or a god. "

According to the philosopher and in accordance with our own reality, human beings need each other to survive, that is why we group together in community, share resources, empower each other and do not know how to live in isolation.

However, for the last generations devices have arisen that promote social distancing, telephones, computers, videogames and all these technological advances have managed to distance people.

That is why the fear of contagion, remote work, applications, and deliverys will become determining elements that help "voluntary social distancing" even after the pandemic.

Let me know your opinion. The generation called the "millennials" was distanced by technology ... Will we be facing the birth of new social behaviors of the masses?
