As the world struggles to contain the Covid-19 pandemic, one thing is becoming clear: the world after the outbreak will be entirely different politically, socially, economically, and health-wise. No one will emerge from this crisis without suffering some loss. Previous threats to individual and social liberties were ineffective in changing our way of life, but now this vital asset of our civilization is in grave danger. The influential countries will redraw a new international order in the post-Covid-19 world, taking into account the lessons learned in coping with the current pandemic. The position of international organizations will be scrutinized as well. Low GDP growth, high debt, and reliance on oil and basic technology would make it difficult for developing countries to sustain independent foreign policies. In education, e-governance, commerce, and artificial intelligence; IT will play a significant role in all aspects of life. Monitoring of people with tracking devices will run counter to human rights issued in the name of security and protection. The tourism industry will continue to thrive, but visa requirements will be tightened. Covid-19 is teaching a valuable lesson. Survival of the fittest would not work in the march of civilization. Even if we have to bear them on our backs, we must accompany the poor and helpless.
