The outbreak of corona pandemics , spreading from China to Europe, Iran, GCC Countries, Africa, India and several other countries has brought a standstill in the Global Economy, affecting all economies of the world. Stock markets have practically collapsed, followed by similar collapses in trade, travel, tourism, education, religious practices, normal public governance, Information Technology, industrial and the service sectors.

Religion

Religious Practices Very rigid religious practices of almost all religions have been crushed in the corona epidemics, making religious fundamentalism a laughing stock besides shaking the very foundation of Islamic Terrorism, especially ISIS. A Crisis of Faith is inevitable in the Post Corona Age in which no religion is free, affecting Islam most. The unavoidable massive religious practices, including religious pilgrimage of Islam in terms of millions of believers have been suspended or indefinitely postponed.

The Pope Francis of the Catholic Church is forced to suspend his weekly meetings with the crowd assembled in Vatican from almost all countries. Several Hindu god-men or god-women claiming divinity have been hiding from the crowd for the fear of corona epidemics. Religious practices based on the gathering of the masses have become incompatible. In the post-corona age, religions must give more emphasis to spirituality based on personal happiness or bliss and humanism.

The following works are worth to read in this context : 11 Apr 2015 - End Of Islam, Hinduism and Christianity And Rise of The Age Of Humanism, Spirituality And The Universal God - Sanadhana Dharma http://www.marketoracle.co.uk/Article50212.html

29 Dec 2014 - Are Islam And Christianity Being Wise And Brave Enough To Eradicate Hunger, Ignorance And Humiliation of Their Own People? http://www.marketoracle.co.uk/Article48798.html

Globalization

In the post-Corona Age, there is an urgent need for redefining the Globalization from the globalization of economic crisis and epidemics to globalization of Education, Medical Services, Trade and Business with new Technologies, limiting or eliminating the massive travel of business people and migration of workforce and student community. No nation can afford such massive migration of people as virus epidemics have become a permanent or regular feature at fixed intervals in one form or another.

China, the greatest beneficiary of globalization has turned the greatest victim overnight with the outbreak of corona epidemics. It will take at least five years for China to regain the previous stage of economic growth. A similar situation is evolving in the west, especially the USA. Russia may be an exception. The Middle East could not afford the growth based on the work force of other nations on 'work visa' without granting citizenship. India must learn the art of using its own workforce instead of sending the majority to other countries, especially the Gulf.

Education

The Corona Epidemics has made Education, from Kindergarten to Universities, very much fragile and vulnerable, in spite of IT or Internet & On-line Education. Education has badly been hit. Classrooms, Libraries, Laboratories are in standstill. Both Professors or Teachers and students could not interact and share their knowledge. The World is getting realized that the very edifice of Education and Information Technology has been crushed or damaged. The faith of the all stake holders of Education, including schools and universities has been shaken. In spite of the truck load of Committee Reports and Doctoral Theses in Education, no reform or revolution could be brought in Education. It is high time to bring Revolution in Education.

The following works are very relevant in these contexts:

Apr 04, 2017- Revolutionize School Education Globally with ‘Dynamic School Knowledge Banks’ www.marketoracle.co.uk/Article58660.html

Mar 19, 2016 - Delivering Quality Education for All Under the Threats of Islamic Terrorism, Refugee Crisis and Budget Cuts -http://www.marketoracle.co.uk/Article54496.html

27 Mar 2016 - Making Higher Education Affordable and Accessible to Millions Globally -The New Strategies http://www.marketoracle.co.uk/Article54584.html

02 Feb 2014 - Education: Transforming The Most Unscientific And Mismanaged Industry Into A Scientific, Competitive And Learner-Friendly Industry http://www.marketoracle.co.uk/Article44230.html

Information Technology

Corona virus epidemics could easily make IT in standstill, in spite of the recent developments in Artificial Intelligence, Machine Learning and Robotics. Data based IT could not solve most of the basic problems of the humanity especially in a crisis ridden situation. It is time to develop Knowledge Technology and Knowledge Industry to revolutionize Education, Professional Services, especially Medical or Healthcare Services during epidemics.

The following works may be relevant here : Oct 05, 2015 - 05:13 PM GMT - Redesigning Internet and Facebook to Explore Their Full Potentialities and Empower the Humanity with Knowledge for Finding Solutions for Its Problems http://www.marketoracle.co.uk/Article52547.html

Dec.2016 ‘Developing Knowledge-Intensive Society and Knowledge Industrial Hub in Kerala: Global Applications and Implications’ www.marketoracle.co.uk/Article57480.html

Post-Corona Pandemics Age is quite different from what is familiar or pleasing and we have to adapt with new Outlooks, Mindset, Education & Training, Globalization, Work & Business , Information Technology and above all Religions. It is quite bitter than the Post-World War Age. Humanity survives and reinvents new culture, philosophy of work, economic growth and relationships between nations.
