Course Description

Overview

Explore philosopher Renata Salecl's thought-provoking TED talk on the overwhelming nature of choice in modern society. Delve into the anxiety, guilt, and feelings of inadequacy that arise from the constant pressure to make the "right" decisions. Examine Salecl's bold proposition that our focus on individual choices may be distracting us from larger, collective issues. Consider her call to shift our attention from personal decision-making to the power of social thinking and collective choices. Gain insights into how our obsession with choice impacts our lives and society as a whole, and reflect on the potential benefits of a more collaborative approach to decision-making.
