In this lesson I have learned that the true church founded by Jesus Christ is not the building itself

but the
faith of the people in God. It is a community of the followers of Jesus, who accept Jesus as God, we
accept Jesus became man who has come to live amongst us. These people share the same sacraments
and worship together as members of God’s family.

The Church is one because the members of the Church believe in the same faith and teachings,
participate in the same Sacraments, especially the Eucharist, and work together in charity.By living a
sacramental life we are strengthened in faith. We are given the grace to share in the mission of the
Church, to love and serve God and His people and to proclaim the message of the Gospel.

The Impact of Social Isolation and Technology Dependence to the Younger Generation

Research has demonstrated that social isolation leads to loneliness, depression, vulnerability, and
subsequently to negative health consequences. Social isolation can be defined as a lack of quantity
and quality of social contacts.There is increasing policy recognition that the alleviation of social
isolation and loneliness among older people should be prioritized

In fact, “Social isolation, particularly among seniors, is a factor in the development of chronic illness and
is as strong a factor in early death as smoking 15 cigarettes a day.” Over the coming years, the number
of seniors in B.C. will nearly double to become almost 25% of the population, with the fastest growing
segment being over the age of 85.

Social isolation among older adults is becoming more prominent as the global population
undergoes a demographic transition. The 2016 Census from Statistics Canada showed the largest
increase in the percentage of seniors since the first census after Canada’s Confederation.
In B.C., the population of older people is also expanding, with nearly four times as many people over 65
living in B.C. today as compared to 30 years ago. According to Statistics B.C., the province will have
over 1 million residents over the age of 65 by 2020. To adapt to this demographic change,
technology is being used to address new needs and the loss of capabilities of the aging population.

ROLE OF TECHNOLOGY IN ADDRESSING SOCIAL ISOLATION

Technology can be a tool to manage and adapt to changing circumstances and loss of capabilities. It
has great potential to support older adults in living and aging well by addressing their physical,
mental, and social challenges. By providing older adults with social, stimulating, meaningful, and
enjoyable activities, various technologies can enhance levels of connectedness and overall quality of
life.

There are a variety of technologies that are being used to mitigate social isolation. Research has
been conducted on various tools and has found a positive correlation between technology use and
levels of connectedness.

The underlying objective of lifelong social engagement by seniors is illustrated by technologies that
facilitate communication, “for they are especially appreciated in case of people who suffer from
physical and cognitive disabilities, isolation, frustration and depression.”Itgives older adults the ability to
share their experiences on social networks, perhaps with others who have the same diseases or
disabilities, and who can provide suggestions and emotional support.

Economic Crisis: The Impact of Local Price Hike in Agricultural Crops and Livestocks Due to COVID-19

This paper analyses the impacts on global agricultural markets of the demand shock caused by the
COVID-19 pandemic and the first wave of lockdown measures imposed by the governments in the first
semester of 2020 to contain it.

The COVID-19 pandemic, which has led to the loss of more than 500 thousand lives out of 10.3 million
confirmed cases (as of June 30, 2020), has also caused a global downturn comparable, by some
measures, to that of the great depression in the 1930s. The causes of the two economic crises are,
however, very different and it is also believed that the recovery from the current crisis will be faster
than the recovery There is still a lot of uncertainty though, as to how long the COVID-19 recession will
last and what the global economic consequences will be in the medium term. It depends on a number of
factors affecting supply and demand of all good including agricultural commodities. These include, how
quickly businesses around the world will be able to re-open from the lockdowns; whether there will be
secondary waves forcing governments to impose new lockdown measures; how soon a vaccine and/or
an effective treatment against the SARS-CoV-2 virus is available and how all this affect consumer
spending patterns from the great depression.

The pandemic has reminded us just how dependent we are on a well-functioning global food value chain
and how vulnerable we are to disruptions in this key sector. A sudden lack of mobility across borders
and within countries has caused labour shortages in countries that are reliant on seasonal migrant
workers in the agri-food sector, which, in turn, has affected food availability and prices globally.
