Covid-19 and Sociology

Covid 19 impact on religion

2.religious polarization(Tablighi jamaat - hate campaign against muslims+ human bombs, corona jihad )

3.denied religious freedom

4.raised the issues of the relationship between religion and science.

5.'genocidal'( collective violence) behaviour towards muslims

6.religious segregation ( Hindus and muslims patients separated into separate hospital warda ) it increasing the stigmatization of muslims

Additional:-

2. Religion use technology to beat pandemic ( Jewish in newyark virtual hugs and kisses )

Covid 19 impact on family structure 

1.The illness of a family breadwinner may result in his or her absence from work. The absenteeism may result in the loss of income. When the person dies, the tempo-rary loss of income becomes a permanent loss.( It has led to rise in marital conflict+ rate of divorce steadily been rising )

2.Poorer households may be more severely affected than better-off households. The relationship between poverty and the costs of covid-19 treatment to households can be visu-alized at two levels. First, covid-19 can push households into poverty. Second, a household that was already poor may be- come further impoverished.

3.covid-19adds stress to the lives of older persons. It kills their adult children, who would have been responsible for their care in old age, and it thrusts them into the role of caregivers for their or-phaned grandchildren.

4.The impact of covid-19 on households is also gender dependent. Deaths of adult men tend to have a larger impact on household income, while a woman’s death has especially severe conse- quences for children because women are the main caregivers in families.

5.home educating is an extended family structure.

6.Unequal division in household labour ( increase burden of care + women have to stay at home and take care of thier families.

7.rise of abusive behaviours in families ( due to pressure of working from home + school closures+ social isolation)

8.increasing domestic violence against women ( most of it intimate partner violence)

5 women unable to access family planning (facing unintended pregnancy):- Why this inequality:-
    ©Gender pay gap compound this inequality
    ©Women didn't not have autonomy over thier sexual and reproductive lives.

6.work from home ( blurred working hours - no separation from private and professional life )

Favourable social aspects :-

1.gender equality in the labour market ( closure of schools+ childcare,daycare center have increased)

2.job losses of women less than men( bcz women working less cyclical jobs lik education + healthcare + caring )

3.up to 70% of coronavirus death across western Europe is men why:-
