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 acting on many personal convictions. Here, individuals often prioritize the opinions of "people" over their own self-interest, from daily actions to life-changing decisions. Many of us don't necessarily see this as negative, given that humans are inherently "social beings," and thus have little control over not caring 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 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 ⚖️ Event Rules: ✔️ Discussion is open to all opinions, with mutual respect for differing viewpoints ✔️ Our discussions will focus on philosophy and life, avoiding religious and political issues ✔️ Please arrive on time
