Dual Discussion: Reputation and Public Opinion on the Balance – Should I Even Care?

In our societies, reputation and what others say are among the most important drivers of behavior for the vast majority of individuals, and among the primary deterrents preventing them from engaging in many actions—even if they are personally convinced of them. Individuals among us consider "others" to such an extent that it may surpass how much they consider themselves, from their daily actions to their life-changing decisions. Many of us do not necessarily view this as negative, given that humans are inherently "social beings," and thus have little control over being indifferent to others' opinions about them. We will discuss this matter from entirely different dimensions, attempting to dive deep into the idea to broaden our perspectives and express our thoughts in a space free from stigma and labeling. Discussion Format: Each person will discuss the topic with another person for 9–10 minutes to hear more transparent and honest ideas, then switch to another person until six rounds are completed. Afterwards, we will move into groups of (3–4 people) to continue discussions on the same topic. ⏳ Time: Sunday, September 14, from 8:15 PM to 10:45 PM. We will remain available afterwards for informal conversation. 📍 Location: Coffee Planet 💰 Fee: Only 30 SAR Transfer via STC PAY to this number: 0556349749 ⚖️ Meeting Rules: ✔️ Discussion is open to all opinions, with respect for differing viewpoints ✔️ We focus our discussion on philosophy and life, avoiding religious and political issues ✔️ We kindly ask punctual attendance
