The COVID - 19 pandemic, New reality, old rules?

The COVID 19 pandemic has disrupted all areas of social life, and the forms of social interactions and relationships have had to be approached from the perspective of a new reality. Therefore, the following study aims to address the need for social ethics as a foundation for human development in the post-pandemic future, based on the documentary contribution of the Human and Social Sciences. Social ethics can facilitate human coexistence from common values, which emerge from the good and shared responsibility in the historical evolution of generations that have been marked by the experience of a global disease, which must necessarily leave lessons for a different reality. The study uses bibliographical references of relevant contemporary thinkers and the rich heritage of the Social Doctrine of the Church, as well as the recent teachings of Pope Francis, to answer the question about the new era after the pandemic.
