The pandemic and the human factor became the most important agent of change on Planet Earth, Ecuador and Latin America

The global health and economic crisis produced by covid 19, have shown that the human factor has become the biggest problem on Planet Earth.

Before the pandemic, the economy, technology, science, and especially politics and war were what defined everything. Human beings were only the beneficiaries but not the actors, it is more believed that institutions such as the State, public services, etc. were more important than human beings, because human beings are perishable and states and institutions were believed to be imperishable.

Today, when each dead and sick person has a relevant connotation, the physical, psychological and socio-environmental conditions, are what have come to define the politics, the use of resources, the elections, and the governments of the countries.

The dead, the sick, the vaccinated, the convalescent, became the focus of attention, as did the vaccination campaigns, which now, in addition to being an economic burden for governments, are a social burden and a psychological burden.

The human factor, in addition to the physical condition, carries a psychological factor, which begins with quarantine, social distancing, pressure from the media, pressure from the government, the police, the armed forces, the laws, which mean behavioral changes such as social distancing. This social distancing, which involves classes, compares, payments, Internet visits, has the great advantage that instead of really distancing ourselves, it allows us to jump walls, borders, countries and maintain interpersonal relationships, even intimate ones. The greatest psychological impact of the pandemic is awareness of susceptibility, since a death has been close, acquaintances, friends or relatives have taken away. This has given way to new forms of bonding between us humans.

The human factor has produced social changes that are boiling. At the moment there is a confrontation with values ​​such as racism, xenophobia, which is hatred for the country of origin, aporobobia, which is hatred for the poor, and poverty, religious, political, sexual, even generational hatreds have taken on unexpected dimensions and importance.

But the trigger for protests is also poverty, which has three dimensions. the real poverty that is the one that there is all type of lack, the comparative poverty that is the one that the middle class generally has, or as Marx called the bourgeoisie, that is characterized by life for the debts, the credit, and the imaginary poverty, which is what the rich have, who are never satisfied.

The social impact of human beings is involved in the problem of environmental change, which before this stage called anthropogenesis, which can be said to begin with the discovery of America, human beings were not the main engine of change on the planet. But industrialization, mega-constructions, wars of mass extinction, such as nuclear wars, population growth, the multiplication of human needs exponentially, have created climate change, and the extinction of numerous species, which have to do with human behavior.

Faced with these events, the world order has entered a critical phase, in which superpowers that had an imperialist character such as the United States, are faced with radical changes such as the change in the use of energy, in which they try to use fewer fossil fuels.

In turn, superpowers such as China are facing the world for their demand for raw materials, which are depleting life in the seas, or minerals, wood, food products, which, faced with this exaggerated demand, are entering periods of scarcity.

While the Cold War returns. given the impossibility of the United States to maintain the order that for the last 200 years has favored it.

The United States, which used the invasion, occupation, and training of national exercises, blockades for governments to act under Washington's directives, but as in every empire in human history, faces the harsh reality that plagues, wars or the unhappiness of the inhabitants of the places it controls will produce the end.

The English Empire, which preceded the North American Empire, eventually became numerous countries that now celebrate Independence Day, even if their economies and societies are stormy and fragile, or extraordinary. a psychological burden.
