Abstract

Modern society can be described as a complex system. Trends in the integration of cultures, intellectual potentials, technologies have become predominant in social development, which today determine not only social progress but also the private lives of billions of people. Globalization in recent decades is the most pressing phenomenon of scientific controversy. In the course of numerous discussions, certain theoretical and methodological approaches to understanding this phenomenon were outlined, as well as the global problems that globalization has posed to humanity. In recent years, society has changed dramatically, globalization has transformed the existence of humanity. At the heart of these transformations is the technological development of planetary society of the XXI century, which results in the extraordinary mobility of modern man and humanity in general. In this context, society faces risks that can dramatically change human lives. One example of such risks is the COVID-19 pandemic, which has transformed the existence of society, and its consequences will have a long-term impact on the development of our planetary society.
