A crash course in changing the world.
I picked the “How Do People React in a Pandemic?” this insight reveals the five stages of reaction to disaster which are:
Self-preservation: The first reaction to a disaster is fear and initial anxiety. People are afraid. They seek information. They do what is necessary to figure out how to save themselves.
Group- preservation: With the right information provided, there is a tremendous effort—usually guided by what we call pro-social behavior—to help others.
Blame setting: This involves internalizing and many psychological consequences fall in place during this stage. With disasters, we talk a lot about emotional responses, about change in normal activities. This leads into efforts to try to figure out who is to blame and to do something about it by addressing the vulnerabilities and strengths that we have that resulted in that hazard becoming a disaster.
Justice Seeking: This involves externalizing. It's part of seeking redress and leads to taking action against the perceived perpetrators of the disaster.
Renormalizing: where individuals and groups adapt to the threat.
