À propos de ce contenu audio

It's obvious that our environments and relationships shape us, but to what extent can we resist or negotiate these influences?


In segment one, today’s discussion tries to uncover the influences that change and mould our personalities. We touch on Social Identity Theory and the work of Stuart Hall (Jamaican sociologist) to navigate our thoughts.


In segment two, we shift the focus towards how we influence others. The way our actions, speech and behaviour influence those around us is sometimes difficult to fully understand, especially in the context of power imbalances. But when does influence become manipulation? And where exactly do the ethical problems arise?


In our moral dilemma, we look at the classic scenario of criminal juries. Behind closed doors, jurors influence each other in sometimes drastic ways as shown in dramatised TV shows like The Jury: Murder Trial. In the Channel 4 drama, audiences follow two juries who are shown and deliberate their verdict. Strong personalities end up dominating the room and, in dramatic fashion, sway the decision of the entire group and the course of justice. Scary
