THE WORLD AFTER COVID 19

COVID-19 infected hundreds of millions of people worldwide. The pandemic has also caused significant damage to global and regional governing political structures, necessitating a reconsideration of their own raison d’être. The global economic fallout has also been unprecedented, with major disruptions in the flow of goods and people, as well as lockdowns in the transportation, services, and retail industries, among others. Three realities must be genuinely addressed to build a post-COVID-19 order that is adequately prepared to deal with the next global crisis, as well as those that have been ongoing for decades. First, the previously held belief that global crises and problems are addressed through local responses must be abandoned. Second, the COVID-19 pandemic has reminded us of the importance of (re)investing in basic, perhaps naive and simple, public health functions like sanitation, as well as transparent national and global health monitoring. Third, the pandemic serves as a stark reminder to abandon the mantra that privatisation of the healthcare delivery system is the solution, in favour of viewing health as a public good that must be managed and executed by the state and its public sector, whether national, sub-regional, or local. We must learn from the pandemic to strengthen our societies. The pandemic has also caused significant damage to global and regional governing political structures, necessitating a reconsideration of their raison d’être and mode of operation (or lack thereof). The global economic fallout will also be unprecedented, as goods and people flows have been severely disrupted, and lockdowns have hit the transportation, services, and retail industries, among others. Many people around the world have speculated in recent years about the impact of rising nationalism on the formation of a new world order. COVID-19 demonstrated how nationalism can lead to the dissolution of decade-long alliances based on shared values and interests. The question now is whether the world will support and continue with the nationalism theme after COVID-19, or whether the balance will shift toward placing more value on globalist approaches and values, beginning with better global health. The pandemic is a clear reminder to abandon the mantra that privatisation of the healthcare delivery system is the solution in favour of viewing health as a public good that must be managed and executed by the state and its public sector, whether national, sub-regional, or local. The COVID-19 pandemic has demonstrated the importance of the “health for all” approach, which sees health as a public good. As a result, the population of every single country affected by COVID-19 expected the state to take care of them, from testing, containment, and healthcare provision to relocating citizens. The COVID-19 pandemic has demonstrated the importance of the “health for all” approach, which sees health as a public good. As a result, the population of every single country affected by COVID-19 expected the state to take care of them, from testing, containment, and healthcare provision to relocating citizens. This was true even in countries where the dominant culture and philosophy valued minimal state intervention in all aspects of life. COVID-19 will alter our perceptions of the state’s role and responsibilities.COVID-19 is not the first global crisis that humanity has faced, nor will it be the last. At the moment, the critical issue is to learn from this pandemic and advance our societies to become stronger and more just, something that the world has not prioritised in recent decades. This could be a wake-up call.

UNEMPLOYMENT: A MAJOR ISSUE

Unemployment is a major problem not only in India but around the world. There are hundreds of thousands of people out there who are unemployed. Furthermore, unemployment is a major issue in India due to the growing population and demand for jobs. Furthermore, if we ignore this issue, it will become the cause of the nation’s demise. Unemployment refers to a situation in which skilled and talented individual desires to work. However, due to a variety of factors, I am unable to find a suitable job. We now understand what unemployment is, but it does not simply mean that a person does not have a job. Unemployment also includes people who work in fields outside of their expertise.

Disguised unemployment, seasonal unemployment, open unemployment, technological unemployment, and structural unemployment are all examples of different types of unemployment. In addition, there is cyclical unemployment, educated unemployment, underemployment, frictional unemployment, chronic unemployment, and casual unemployment.

The most common types of unemployment in India are seasonal unemployment, unemployment, and disguised unemployment. In a country like India, there are numerous reasons why a large portion of the population is unemployed. Some of these factors include population growth, slow economic growth, seasonal occupation, slow economic growth, and a decline in the cottage industry.

Furthermore, these are the primary causes of unemployment in India. Furthermore, the situation has deteriorated to the point where highly educated individuals are willing to perform the duties of a sweeper. Furthermore, the government is not taking its responsibilities seriously. on unemployment, unemployment, and disguised unemployment. If things continue as they are, unemployment will become a major problem. Apart from that, an economy experiences an increase in poverty, an increase in crime, labour exploitation, political instability, mental health problems, and skill loss. As a result, all of this will eventually lead to the nation’s demise. The government has taken the problem seriously and is taking steps to gradually reduce unemployment. IRDP (Integrated Rural Development Programme), DPAP (Drought Prone Area Programme), Jawahar Rozgar Yojana, Employment Assurance Scheme, NRY (Nehru Rozgar Yojana), Self-Employment Training, PMIUPEP (Prime Minister’s Integrated Urban Poverty Eradication Program), employment exchange, Employment Guarantee Scheme, development of the organised sector, small and cottage industries, employment in forging countries, and Jawahar Gram Samridhi Yo

Furthermore, through these schemes, the government makes some rules more flexible, allowing for job creation in the private sector as well. To summarise, the problem of unemployment in India has reached a tipping point. However, the government and local governments have taken the issue seriously and are working to reduce unemployment. Also, to
fully address the issue of unemployment, we must address the root cause of the problem, which is India’s vast population.

Netflix gives a reason to cheer for some of its viewers

Netflix is now providing one more option for American users. Now, some users have the option of taking up the lowest subscription available with ads. This subscription is available for a price of $6.99 a month and comes with ads in between the shows.

This subscription also makes some of the content unavailable to the viewers. To check the blocked content, you will have to get the no ads subscription. If the content has a red lock in the top right corner, then assume that such content is blocked.

This offer was on the cards for quite some time. So, after some trial, now the offer is available for some. This offer now makes the most popular streaming site, more attractive to viewers. It also enables the viewers to experience their favourite content, but with some ads. There is also a restriction in terms of the resolution, which is restricted to 720p.

On the official part, Netflix clarifies that there will ads of 15 to 20 seconds in duration. You cannot skip them, but you can pause them. The ads are the general ads that you see on the internet or YouTube. So, now we can choose one of the cheaper options from Netflix and keep using it. It will reduce piracy to some extent. It will also reduce the sharing of accounts which has been the case with many, for the last few years.

Recently, there have been speculations of various changes in the Netflix plan. So there have been some for the last few months. It is one of them. The other changes include the introduction of restrictions that will stop people from sharing passwords of their accounts with their friends and family.

But there is also content on the platform which will not show you any ads. It is difficult to predict as no list or indication will indicate which content has ads and which does not.

Now, if we consider different platforms, then there are a few changes that point to this new subscription option. In the case of iOS, there is an indication that people can select an ad-supported option, but there are no links, that can point you in the right direction. On the other hand, there are links on the website that will direct you to the page, that will let you choose the ad option.

So, now these changes will be bad news for some. As people expect to see ads in a free version of any service. But, here the viewers will have to watch ads even after paying a certain amount for a subscription. Only time will tell whether viewers like this plan or not. But for beginners there is one plus point, there is an even cheaper version of Netflix for the viewers. For the unknown, there will also be less requirement for some to share their login details as more viewers will be able to afford Netflix. Netflix will also be hoping that more subscribers use its streaming service.

Twitter is going through a transition period

Twitter has been able to create a lot of buzzes lately. It has a new owner now, named Elon Musk. This change has taken place after several ifs and buts. But a decision has been made.

Now, if we take a look at the previous actions related to this matter. Then we can safely conclude that there have been various changes to the multimillion-dollar deal. At first, it was declared that Musk will buy the company. But later on, he demanded to disclose the number of fake accounts. Then it was declared that he was cancelling the deal. After that, Twitter did question the fact that someone cannot cancel a deal after having a look at some confidential data.

So now the $44 million deal is done. It also avoids Elon Musk from facing a court case, which Twitter was planning to put against the famous billionaire. As a result of the deal, several top executives have been removed from their places. There have also been layoffs to reduce the number of employees.

Now, when it comes to Twitter as a platform, then there will be some changes to the social media platform. The first one is the fact that the blue tick will now cost $8 for a month. So, this is the beginning of a new future for Twitter.

Now, there are also speculations that Elon Musk will be making a lot of changes within the Twitter platform. Some of them can be seen on the official Twitter account of the famous billionaire. All of these changes will be seen shortly.

Among all this, there have been various speculations that the employees of Twitter are going to sue it for the mass firing act. To remove the spotlight from the mass layoff, there are also complaints from Elon Musk that the advertisers are fleeing the platform.

There is also speculation by Twitter users that there will now be strict rules and regulations that will shape a different future for Twitter. All of these also point out that Elon Musk is desperately waiting for Twitter to start making money.

After the layoffs, Jack Dorsey has also taken the responsibility for the layoffs. The layoffs have come as a setback for several employees. But there is also speculation that after the layoffs, some employees are being requested to come back.

This layoff has mainly affected India. The maximum workforce of the company has been fired in India, and now very few have been retained.  

All of these events have given very bold and harsh indications to the entire world. As Elon Musk is the CEO, so he will now be taking a lot of steps towards changing the company. The steps will bring about some more surprises, as has been depicted by the above incidents. But the effects will also be there. The recent rapid steps have not been accepted positively by the public. So, it remains to be seen, what more will make the headlines for the social networking site. After all this, the future is exciting for Twitter.
