What Weaknesses and Strengths About Our World Are Being Exposed by This Pandemic?

We know this is a big question - in fact, it is one of the "essential questions" we posed in this resource - but, before you dig in to the news, try just answering it off the top of your head.

For instance, what problems have you experienced or noticed among your family members, classmates, friends or community? What does your experience of the coronavirus crisis show you about what is lacking in our society?

But also consider the positive things you have observed: What has the past month or two shown you about strengths in the people you know or the institutions or organizations you count on?

Then, consider every aspect of our lives - food, shelter, art, entertainment, education, employment, economics, health care, politics and more - and think about what strengths and weaknesses you have observed or read about in those areas.
