Hi,
Twenty Minute Topic
Use Up/Down Arrow keys to increase or decrease volume.
In this series journalist Marcus Stead and veteran campaigner and blogger Greg Lance-Watkins discuss big issues affecting all our lives over a twenty minute period.
In this 9th. episode:
Twenty Minute Topic – Topic 9: Groupthink / In The Bubble …
The term ‘Groupthink’ has its origins in George Orwell’s 1984, but it has gained new prominence with the advent of social media.
Marcus Stead and Greg Lance-Watkins discuss ‘groupthink’ and the impact of social media.
Far from encouraging healthy debate and exposing people to new ideas, social media appears to be encouraging people to engage with echo chambers, namely people who share the same views as them.
This, in turn, insulates people from hearing viewpoints that go against their own, thus leaves them dangerously unaware of the views of society at large.
Marcus Stead and Greg Lance-Watkins address some tough, often controversial, issues, and welcome you to their growing audience.
If you have a topic you believe would be of interest we would welcome your suggestions.
.
Regards,
Greg_L-W.
