Corona and Risk Globalization

Abstract

Research argues that the corona virus pandemic that has gone through humanity over the past few years is a natural, albeit unintentional, product of Western rationalism, which continues to suffer from the intellectual structure it has taken as a means of knowledge and progress - rationality. This was predicted by the Frankfurt School and a number of philosophers and natural science professionals. Humanity will be a bitter harvest of industrial progress by shaping what Ulrich Beck calls a Risk society that is prone to the vulnerability of all societies, including those far from the effects of Western industrial smoke, to the risks of pollution, diseases, and disasters that he thought were caused by nature, But human fingers, according to specialists, were behind them. Globalization - one of the summits of Western rationality - has helped directly or indirectly to spread the pandemic because of the speed of mobility, travel across countries, the development of trade, transnational corporations and mobile work... all of which have caused the globalization of the new evil, which has seemed a heavy spectre for all humanity. ‏
