- When the emergence of Covid-19 and resultant restrictive measures were imposed across the globe in early 2020, the world witnessed submission of an unprecedented and surprising nature. One motivator, fear, is fairly obvious and understandable but it in no way explains the collective psychology that was in play. BizNews spoke to Professor Frank Furedi, Emeritus Professor of Sociology and the author of several books covering the in-depth cultures of fear and safety which have insinuated themselves into practically all corners of society. Furedi highlighted a particularly interesting side-effect of the pandemic: the downgrading of human capacity and simultaneous inflation of threat. Another fascinating observation explored was the way in which the fundamental subject matter that children are taught has shifted from virtues of courage and morality to psychological values such as self-esteem. This shift, together with the growing undercurrent of safety culture, is a breeding ground for an infantalised, anxious future generation.
Keep going with these types of interviewers and topics. I think they are useful and will gain traction and expanded viewership over time
Fear has been used as a tool to herd humanity into a submissive, unquestioning state of compliance.
Very interesting interview, I found it answers many questions on society at present.
I'm going read this guys books he's real with no cultural Marxism very refreshing and rare in today's time
TRUE 👍 🙏❤
This is a great interview about a much needed topic. A question I now have after viewing the interview is: what can we as individuals do to create a better society and future? What is the best thing we can do with this information?
After every question there’s an advert, obviously this presenter needs coins for the habit .. I’m trying to cook over here!!
So how would you individuate someone: initiation, coming of age rites etc?
Is Prof describing Durban and the attack of the Zuma zulus?
Fascinating ... but the interview was rather stilted. Do hope she works to improve her interviewing skills
