Bilateral Discussion: Reputation and Public Opinion on the Balance – Should I Not Care About Them?

In our societies, reputation and others' opinions 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 personally believe in them. Here, individuals consider "what people think" to an extent 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 cannot help but care about others' opinions of them. We will discuss this matter from entirely different angles, attempting to dive deep into the idea 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 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 casual 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 ✔️ Please arrive on time
