After a major crisis, there are generally significant policy and cultural changes in society. For example, following the Civil War, there was the passage of three key constitutional amendments dealing with slavery, citizenship and equal protection, and suffrage; during the Great Depression there was the establishment of Social Security and Aid for Families with Dependent Children, a minimum wage, etc, and following the Sept. 11 attacks on the World Trade Center, there was the creation of the Department of Homeland Security and, many argue, too many challenges to civil liberties. What do you THINK will emerge after this pandemic has been under control in the United States and what do you HOPE will emerge? For example, many grocery store cashiers and employees had to work as they were deemed to be essential, yet there has been resistance to raise the minimum wage to a living wage. Will there be a movement to increase minimum wage, a move to provide universal healthcare and other health insurance that is not tied to employment, a move to offer more educational opportunities online, and so on. Whatever you think will happen and hope will happen. Explain your response.

After the pandemic, several changes will emerge in the United States which will bring forth the invention of new ways of living and doing things. Some of these changes include adoption of new learning methods which can help reach all learners, issuing of health insurances and also creation of job opportunities with higher wages than the current ones.

Step-by-step explanation

Corona virus is a disease that has hit most countries in the world. The disease has relatively affected a big

population across the world. With the rising numbers of the cases daily in many countries, the aftermath

of this pandemic is yet to be prepared for. In the United States, the virus has caused several deaths. It is

evident that the government must be working around the clock so as to lower the hit of the pandemic in

America. After the pandemic, the United States will have to deviate from their norm. This will stimulate

change and lead to invention of new ways of living and doing things.

Change will have to be embraced after this pandemic since its inevitable. The education sector, which

has been hardly hit by the pandemic, will have to adopt new ways of reaching out to all students at the

various schooling levels. The schools will have to lay more emphasis on the use of technology to deliver

content. E-learning and distant learning shall be strengthened.

In the healthcare sector, it is true there has been a health insurance. However, after this pandemic, the

policy of universal healthcare will have to be strengthened, and implemented so as to real out to all

Americans. There has been a challenge during this pandemic since some Americans cannot afford or

access better healthcare services.

There is a big challenge of unemployment in the United States. This is arguably one of the challenges

that will be dealt with after the pandemic. The American government should formulate a policy to

increase the minimum wage to a living wage. Most of the Americans have been struck hard because of

their previously low income. More healthcare insurances shall be made so as to cater for the non-

employed and those are self employed.
