Classical Conditioning and Social Influence: How We're Conditioned by Society
A 60-minute session (held 22 September 2024) on the reactions we never chose: the song that changes our mood, the phone we grab before we think, the Sunday-evening dread left over from school, the toothpaste we still buy because our mother did, the 'boys don't cry' we still half-believe. Which of these were put there by family, school and adverts, and which can we take back? Twelve independent cards; open three or four.
How we do this
Be respectfulDisagree with the point, never the person.
Raise your hand to speakSo nobody has to talk over anybody.
Keep it shortSay the thing, then let the next person in.
Discussion is encouragedReply to each other, not just to the question.
Tangents are allowedIf the room follows it, it is the discussion.
This is a safe spaceWhat is said here stays in the room.
