Your discussion will focus on two things: FIRST Discuss one example from history that he discusses which in your mind really says important things about the nature of the society ? Do you agree with him that pandemics tell us something about the way societies function, or their values? SECOND what do you think does the current Covid pandemic teach us about modern society?
