Resumen
Súbitamente nuestro planeta ha quedado atrapado
en una pandemia que todo el mundo esperaba pero
para la cual casi nadie estaba preparado. Esto ha
desencadenado una crisis mundial sin precedentes y
ha dejado casi 25 millones de casos y un millón de
fallecidos, sin mostrar signos de disminución. La
incertidumbre y el aislamiento de la pandemia han
provocado un temor y una ansiedad generalizados,
en particular, en los países con sistemas de salud
inadecuados que no tomaron en serio este brote.
A pesar de este panorama sombrío, los desastres
naturales han dado lugar —en algunas ocasiones—
a una disminución de los conflictos internos en
algunos países, ya que muchas veces las facciones
en lucha se ven obligadas (por extrema necesidad) a
trabajar juntas, o al menos, a descender el grado de
conflictividad para centrarse en la preservación o la
reconstrucción de sus localidades. Hay indicios de
que algunos gobiernos tratan de aliviar las tensiones
políticas a la sombra de la COVID-19.
Las redes sociales y la internet han sido las grandes
protagonistas durante la pandemia por COVID-19. En
los últimos años estas herramientas han proporcionado
un “mapa en tiempo real” de lo que acontece en
cualquier parte del mundo. El presente artículo
pretende ofrecer una perspectiva psicológica en torno
a la crisis causada por la pandemia y de la necesidad
de un cambio en las interpretaciones localistas hacia
la unión y la solidaridad mirándonos como una cultura
o aldea global. Igualmente se analiza el posible papel
de la internet y las redes sociales en la construcción
de esta nueva forma de ver nuestra civilización.
Suddenly, our planet has been caught in a pandemic that everyone expected but for which no one was prepared. This situation has triggered an unprecedented global crisis, leaving nearly 25 million cases and one million deaths with no sign of abating. The uncertainty and isolation have led to widespread fear and anxiety, particularly in countries with inadequate health systems that did not take this outbreak seriously. Despite this bleak picture, natural disasters havedecreasedinternal conflicts in some countries, as warring factions are often forced (out of extreme necessity) to work together, or at least to lower the level of conflict to focus on the preservation or reconstruction of their localities. There are indications that some governments are trying to ease political tensions in the shadow of the COVID-19. Social networks and the Internet have been great protagonists during the COVID-19 pandemic. In recent years these tools have provided a “real-time map” of what is happening in any part of the world, however, as well as allowing the distribution of valid information that contributes to the prevention and containment of the disease and contagion, it can also be used to issue false information, which ends up spreading concern and anxiety, even faster than the virus itself. This article aims to offer a psychological perspective on the crisis caused by the pandemic and the need for a change in localist interpretations towards unity and solidarity by looking at us as a global culture or village. It also analyzes the possible role of the Internet and social networks in the construction of this new way of seeing our civilization.
