76. Safe spaces, microaggressions and trigger warnings

Universities and college campuses have traditionally been a place for debate and the exploration of ideas. However, over the last few decades, the establishment of safe spaces, the rise in trigger warnings and microaggressions is creating a divisive culture. This results in censoring opposing viewpoints, limits critical debate and inhibits emotional resilience. If you are in a crisis or think you have an emergency, call your doctor or 911. If you're considering suicide, call 1-800-273-TALK to speak with a skilled trained counselor.RADICALLY GENUINE PODCASTDr. Roger McFillin / Radically Genuine WebsiteYouTube @RadicallyGenuineTwitter: Roger K.
