Abstract

The population of Hungary has to deal with both the economic and social crisis following the coronavirus epidemic. In the present study, with the second analysis of the literature, I first aim to examine how the crisis situation can affect the development of networks, how the role of strong and weak bonds can change. With months of isolation, how will friendships develop and to what extent will our value preferences change. The other main topic I touch on in my work is the possible influencing effect of the epidemic on social stratification and social mobility. And how the expected shift in the social hierarchy can be corrected by harnessing the power of relationships. In my work, I assume social consequences along the impact of expected changes at the level of individuals. My observed subjects are given by the life stories of fi ve high school young people in the future. My research question encompassing the study is how human relationships can become an asset after COVID-19, what role the network can play in dealing with a crisis in an individual’s life situation, and what behaviors and actions can become if “ceiling bourgeois” become a “floor poor” on behalf of the people.1 And what impact can this complex phenomenon have on social integration. In addition to the latest research findings, I also use the topicality of the content elements of my favorite dystopian novel, Katharine McGee: The thousandth floor, to prepare my paper.
