The Culture of Narcissism (Guest Hugh Hallman)

Hugh Hallman, Attorney, Educator, and former Mayor of Tempe, joins Seth in studio for the full hour to talk about the disturbing trend of young adults being encouraged to take the law into their own hands, and in some cases, to celebrate violence and destruction. The importance of teaching critical thinking and the dangers of creating a society where young people are not equipped to navigate complex moral dilemmas. The proliferation of social media and the ease of access to information have created a culture of instant validation, where young people are more likely to seek out information that confirms their pre-existing biases rather than engaging with opposing viewpoints. This has led to a breakdown in civil discourse and a lack of empathy for those with differing opinions.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
