Navigating Societal Transformations: Unveiling Priority Dynamics Amidst Change
Abstract:
The pervasive global impact of COVID-19 transcended mere physical health, intricately weaving into the fabric of our digital existence, a testament to the world's interconnectivity. This confluence stirred cognitive shifts, reshaping perspectives and engendering attitudinal nuances. As societies emerge from the pandemic's grasp, an overarching quest for both security and an ameliorated communal existence comes to the forefront. This research note divulges analyses originating from the Virtual Living Lab (VLL), concentrating intently on two pivotal societal narratives: the sanctity of familial bonds and the significance of personal friendships. Propelled by cutting-edge communication science methodologies, our inquiry harnesses the prowess of Big Data and AI, illuminating the bedrock narratives steering human conduct. Within this context, a comparative exploration between Japan and the UK unfolds, capturing a juncture where post-pandemic trajectories intersect with burgeoning economic anxieties. A cardinal lesson echoing beyond the pandemic reverberates—the imperative for leaders, amidst tumultuous epochs, to wield a lucid, strategic narrative of guidance.
