Moim zdaniem jest to interakcjonizm symboliczny i funkcjonalizm strukturalny.
Polecam do przeczytania artykuł, którego jestem współautorem wraz z dr. M. Krzyścin.
Celem autorów artykułu było ustalenie wpływu pandemii na rynek pracy w Polsce oraz scharakteryzowanie zmian na tym rynku w trakcie i po szczycie pandemii COVID-19. W pracy zastosowano analizę i konstrukcję logiczną jako metodę badawczą. Postawiono główną hipotezę badawczą: ze względu na bezprecedensową skalę zmian pandemia COVID-19 może zostać uznana za zjawisko zwane „czarnym łabędziem”. Sformułowano także hipotezy szczegółowe:
H1. Pandemia COVID-19 pozostawiła trwałe zmiany na rynku pracy,
takie jak np. sposób organizacji pracy w firmach i ma ostatecznie długoterminowe skutki pozytywne i negatywne w zakresie różnych aspektów zarządzania firmami;
H2. Na rynku pracy w początkowej fazie (2020 r.) nastąpiła reorientacja
z rynku pracownika na rynek pracodawcy (powiązana z pogorszeniem większości parametrów gospodarczych wywołanym pandemią), która okazała się jedynie okresowym wahnięciem (zmitygowanym działaniami rządu i pracodawców oraz stopniowym wygaszaniem pandemii).

You can try to use the theory of social thermodynamics to analyze the impact of the pandemic on society. The basis for analysis using the theory of social thermodynamics is to analyze whether the influence of a major event on the interaction between individuals in society is increased or weakened
From the perspective of the coronavirus pandemic, due to the spread of the coronavirus, social distancing between social individuals should be maintained, so as to reduce the transmission capacity of the coronavirus. The result of this social distancing is a weakening of the social interaction between individuals. You can quantify this social interaction, for example, it is an order of magnitude weaker than the normal social interaction, so the following steps are applied to the relevant formulas to calculate. Of course, given that social policymakers expect to completely eliminate the trend of the coronavirus epidemic, these policymakers often hope that the social distance between social individuals in society is as great as possible. That is, in the conditions of this coronavirus pandemic, the best expectation for policymakers is preferably 0 social interaction between people. So the overall social distancing intensity and the actual social status change is a feedback control process.
The weakening of social interactions between social individuals means that the critical temperature, pressure, etc. of the thermodynamic system of the entire social system will decrease. The whole society is prone to enter a gas state. The gaseous social state is actually a very unstable state. On the one hand, it expands easily; On the other hand, it is easily compressed. And once the external conditions change, this gaseous society can easily disintegrate. So for policymakers, in order to better implement the policies to prevent the coronavirus pandemic, this society should enter a condensed state. In this way, the corresponding policies can be implemented in an organized and orderly manner, and the society can develop better. Of course, the condensed social state can sometimes have the opposite effect. Take, for example, teenagers rioting on the streets of Paris. Social interaction between these teens becomes strong due to the role of social media. A condensed state is formed, which leads to its very large ability to disrupt normal social functions. Once these teenagers are cut off from using social media, the social interaction between adolescents is weakened, and the social subsystem of the entire adolescent group becomes a gas state, which in turn helps to maintain the restoration of the entire social order.
We can see the effect of policy formulation and implementation during the coronavirus pandemic in some countries in Europe and the United States. At the beginning, everyone was asked to maintain social distancing, and the whole society received a relatively strong response. Relevant preventive measures have also been effectively implemented. But as social distancing policies become stricter, social interactions between social individuals become weaker, and the whole society begins to enter a gaseous state. Policymakers are finding society as a whole increasingly difficult to regulate, eventually having to adopt some more compromised approaches to social distancing. Even the UK was the first to implement a herd immunity programme.
The Covid 19-Pandemic has affected not only patients, but also all workers, especially healthcare workers, women, the elderly, children and the disabled. Likewise, education, economy and politics were negatively affected. Since Covid-19, by its nature, affects the lungs the most, it has increased the workload of chest disease and infection specialists and employees in intensive care units. Likewise, these units of hospitals have naturally become the most risky clinics. As of 2021, 4,500,000 people have lost their lives all over the world from the virus called Covid-19, which is a type that has never been encountered before, and health workers, like everyone else, feel powerless on the one hand and cannot understand what is going on the other. Some even wanted to retire or resign by giving up their sacred profession to save their lives. It is not possible for this situation, which is sociologically called alienation, not to affect pharmacists and technicians, who are among the health professions and mostly work outside the hospital and privately. Based on this view, alienation in pharmacy workers, namely pharmacists and technicians, constitutes the main problem
Another theory that can be used is Sense of Community @ McMillan, D. W. and Chavis, D. M. because of the individualism that was prevailant at that time.
The Corona pandemic has created negative effects socially, as domestic violence increased, divorce cases increased, shops were closed, causing an increase in the rate of poverty and unemployment, especially in poor communities as a result of the imposed ban, schools and universities were suspended and places of worship were closed, in addition to the psychological state to which the individual was exposed, which He still lives in this condition, in addition to social stigma.
The question assumes that we already know and have described the effects (types and degrees), so that all we need is a "one sociological theory" to explain those previously described effects.
This begs the question.
Ifwe know something to be an "effect of a cause or causes", then we already have a theory of the cause(s) of that effect.
Abdul Jubeir's message starts that inquiry.....
If that were developed and worked out in detail by him or somebody else, what would the invocation of a "one sociological theory to explain..." actually add? What work would it do for us?
That the divorce rate increased could be connected with corona. People spending more time home finding out they were not getting along or relating well in the first place. Bottom line
So id begin with what makes for health of a society? Durkheim found a society requires inegration and regulation. Too much or too little does not make for health.
