Can we talk about modern Social Anthropology here? [View all]

I think I'm fascinated by the way societal norms may have changed because of Covid. And I also think that there may have been a seismic change after 9/11?

The feeling of lack of control in what happens in the world, so we sublimate? Kind of explains why nothing is a big deal after those two horrific events?

Thoughts?
