Complacency and Moral Disengagement: Two Sides of the Same Coin?

For the closing of this special edition series, the focus was to revisit some previous topics from earlier episodes in season 1: complacency, conformity, and cognitive biases. While briefly covered for reference, this time, the connection of each was directly discussed and the new topic of moral disengagement was introduced because of how much of a role it has with all three. Please be advised, go back to the previous episodes on those topics to refresh your memory or to learn about them, if you haven’t already. Continue to educate yourselves and others and challenge your worldviews; experience life outside your sphere of influence.
