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 main deterrents preventing them from engaging in many actions—even if they are personally convinced of them. Here, individuals tend to care about "what people think" to an extent that may surpass their concern for themselves, ranging from daily behaviors to life-changing decisions. Many of us do not necessarily view this as negative, given that humans are inherently "social beings," and therefore have little control over not caring about others' opinions of them. We will discuss this matter from entirely different angles, attempting to delve deep into the idea, broadening our perspectives and expressing our thoughts in a space free from judgment and labeling. Discussion Format: Each person will discuss the topic with another for 9–10 minutes to hear more transparent and honest ideas, then switch to a different person until six rounds are completed. Afterwards, we will form small groups (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 afterward for informal conversation. 📍 Location: Coffee Planet 💰 Fee: Only 30 SAR Transfer via STC PAY to this number: 0556349749 ⚖️ Meeting Rules: ✔️ Open discussion for 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
