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 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 often consider "what people think" to a degree that may surpass their consideration of 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 being indifferent to others' opinions about them. We will discuss this matter from entirely different angles, attempting to dive deep into the concept to broaden our perspectives and express our thoughts in a space free from judgment 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 small groups (3-4 people) for further 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 ⚖️ Event Guidelines: ✔️ Open discussion for all opinions, with mutual respect for differing viewpoints ✔️ Our discussion will focus on philosophy and life, avoiding religious and political issues ✔️ Please arrive on time
