World events cause shifts in cultures. The pandemic will have lasting cultural shifts which some will not be obvious for months or years to come. Some we will judge as being good and some will be labeled as bad. One shift which has been evolving more gradually is that of transitioning from a more industrial mindset to a more relational experience. It may seem odd to speak of relational during a time of significantly reduced interaction. The reality is that humans not just need relationships they desire them. Therefore once the immediate fear has been appropriately dealt with we will return to the relational culture and appreciate it far more than the gradual evolution which was occurring to the advancement of a more meaningful relational culture.
