Psychology in thiscentury necessarilyrequiresa globalvision, dynamic, positiveand simplified perspectives. Far from thetimes of rigidity of theories that however wise they are and still very effective in our daily lives; our ability to meet the other also requires our ability to promote and work on plasticity capabilities, in the quality of materials that can be shaped; psychologically speaking, it is about a subject’s ability to adapt to environmental conditions; that in the face of the pandemic we live in today becomes extremely important. All mental flexibility will not be too much, making there is no room for ostracism due to the difference of races, economic situation, creeds or studies carried out. All psychology, in its most diverse branches of activity and lines of thought, can and should share with the vast scientific community emerging themes that by their impact require the utmost attention of all of us. Reflect under this covid19 pandemic that caught us by surprise and terrorized us so much (and still terrifies!), and that psychology can intervene in a dynamic, positive and simplified way. Because we can only act locally and/or individually, but we necessarily have to have a global vision... the WORLD we know today is truly our global village!
