From Love Island to binge-watching endless series, to doomscrolling suggestive videos on TikTok, modern media often prioritises drama and banter over genuine talent. By turning attention-seeking actors into instant celebrities, are we moving away from valuing intellect and hard work? Let's discus about whether modern media rewards dumbness and if we are losing something in the pursuit of easy entertainment.
We'll discuss..
1. Why do we value relatability and entertainment over talent and skill? Is it lowering our standards?
2. Is this modern media negatively influencing our mind and our perceptions of life, relationships and society?
3. What's the role of media businesses and should they be responsible for how they reward and influence these behaviours?
Join us for a relaxed group conversation where we explore the real life, the grey areas, and how our different cultures and backgrounds shape our views about key topics. Expect real talk, no judgment, and a chance to learn how others see it.
*Come for the discussion, stay for the friendships. Our weekly discussion series brings together thoughtful people for honest conversations on relationships, life, and society - with warm social vibes before and after.*
WHAT TO EXPECT:
Good vibes only: we chat big topics in a chill, respectful way. No arguing - just open-minded exchange. We warm up with casual socializing (come solo or with friends!)
The topic starts around 7:45/8pm, wraps around 9:30. 🍕 There's pizza, drinks, milkshakes and snacks available at the bar (incl plant-based options)
DISCUSSION FORMAT:
- Our group conversations are open and flexible! There is a very soft guided flow to ensure we focus on the key questions, and to ensure that everyone gets a balanced opportunity to speak.
- We rotate groups intentionally during the discussion so everyone gets to meet a wider mix of people and perspectives.
