Duel 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. Here, an individual considers 'others' to such an extent that it may surpass self-consideration, 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 thus it is not entirely within their control to disregard others' opinions about themselves. We will discuss this matter from entirely different dimensions, attempting to delve deeply into the idea, broadening our perspectives and expressing our thoughts in a space free from stigma and labeling. Discussion Format: Each person will discuss the topic with another individual for 9-10 minutes to hear more transparent and honest ideas, then move to another person until six rounds are completed. Afterwards, we will form groups (3-4 people) to continue discussions on the same topic. ⏳ Time: Sunday, September 14, from 8:15 PM to 10:45 PM, and we will remain available afterward for further conversation 📍 Location: Coffee Planet 💰 Fee: Only 30 SAR Transfer to this number via STC PAY 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
