'The apple doesn't fall far from the tree' I believe this adage doesn't fall too far from reality, and to a very significant extent, the character, behavior and beliefs of a '2000' is product of the 90's and 80's society that raised us.
Unfortunately it may seem that over us, a rigid identity had been thrust before we had even reached the stage of true self realisation. So we sat in studio joined by two minds of different schools of thought which sparked an interesting debate on the extent at which the older members of our society influence the younger generation's decisions and lifestyles both directly and indirectly. Our conversation ran across to critique the primary sources of influence such as close relatives, to much wider sources of influence that hover over us like systems of socio-economic and political governance.
Are both the younger and older aware of the diffusion of influence or do they believe they develop at parallels? Will the cycle ever end?
Join us as we examine the apples and their 'orange trees' in our Uncommon lab🧬🧪. Don't be left out!
