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 primary deterrents preventing them from acting on many personal convictions. Individuals among us often consider "what people think" to a degree that may even surpass their regard for themselves, from daily actions to life-changing decisions. Many of us don't necessarily view this as negative, given that humans are inherently "social beings," and thus it's not entirely within their control to disregard others' opinions about them. We will explore this matter from entirely different angles, attempting to dive deep into the concept to broaden our understanding and express our thoughts in a space free from judgment and labeling. Discussion Format: Each person will discuss the topic with another individual for 9-10 minutes to hear more transparent and honest perspectives, then switch to a new partner until six rounds are completed. Afterwards, we will move into 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: ✔️ Discussion is open to all opinions, with mutual respect for differing viewpoints ✔️ We focus our discussion on philosophy and life, avoiding religious and political issues ✔️ We kindly ask punctual attendance
