Ir. Yahya Agung Kuntadi, MM said that the flow of thoughts possessed by humans can classified into two types namely rational and emotional. Rational thought rests on logic in response to phenomena that are analyzed with a certain process and temporarily arranged the mind emotional rests on feelings that are analyzed quickly and there are no standard rules. Thought rational is needed by humans to make a decision in the midst of such uncertain conditions. This is the case at this time during the Covid-19 pandemic. Furthermore, Dr. Ir. Dwi Hastuti focuses on the psychological impact experienced by the family which also results by the Covid-19 pandemic. “The solution to face the new era is how to create the environment free from stress and try to manage it, stimulate the brain with happy hormones, relaxation with light motor activity, as well as eating good food. Furthermore,it is also important to build positive emotions and create sources of happiness in the family because emotion is the energy to communicate, to spread positive energy around family lifeand society. ” He said. Megawati Simanjuntak SP, M.Si said that the family is the smallest unit that is affected covid-19, mainly from the economic condition or the income side.

who are disturbed by layoffs. “The spending patterns of various types of consumers during this pandemic can be seen from the aspect of income, products purchased, how to shop, and the focus of the goods purchased. Between generations also have their respective preferences. However, there are things that don’t change in the new era, for example there must be experiential value, the desire to get a fair price, and consider the advantages and shortcomings. ” He explained. Meanwhile, Dr. Yudha Heryawan Asnawi said that the virtual market is expanding causing market deconstruction to shift from voluntary exchange become an ambiguity exchange, thus creating a coercive market or “forced market” and power reinforcement that suppresses consumer resilience.

institutions that maintain morals and ethics in business that fulfill three things, namely supporting existence humans, social systems, and the space of live. The webinar ended at 11:30 am with a closing statement from Prof. Ujang Sumarwan as president of AACIM
