Moore (1967) defines social change as a any significant alteration in the social structure, which can originate endogenously and exogenously from any institutions, which in turn make for further adaptations in the original sphere of change. With the above definition, to what extend does the Corona virus Pandemic represents a social change globally?

With Moore's (1967) definition, the corona virus pandemic is a social change globally due to the extent it has impacted every nation and sector.

As a social change, it has altered the following which the global world is adapting to:

1. Companies and businesses have opted into remote work: The pandemic is changing work ethics in a way that many businesses are encouraging their staff/employees to work from home. The future of work is being altered.

2. Schools and students have moved classes to online: This pandemic is playing a key impact on education globally. It's changing the norm in the education sector. Schools are now adapting online platforms to teach and lecture their students.

3. Entertainment and sports centers are regimented: The impact of the pandemic has led to a regimented and regulated way of enjoying entertainment and sports. It has brought the huge number of people that gather at sports centers and concerts to few and the world is adapting to this.

4. Religious gatherings are regulated: The impact of the pandemic has drastically reduced the number of people that visit worship/religious centers.

These are some of the social changes the pandemic has led the world globally thereby making Moore's definition of social change valid. The impact of the pandemic has altered the social structure globally and bringing the world to a "new normal' which they have to adapt to.
