Episode Synopsis

This Podcast explores an article by Greg Twemlow explaining the concept of "herds" as social groups that exert influence on individuals, particularly young people. The author argues that social media functions as a destructive herd, amplifying bullying and rewarding conformity. He suggests reframing bullying as a "conflict between herds" to help individuals understand and cope with the experience. The article also examines the age at which children develop an understanding of social groups and the importance of parents and educators fostering resilience and self-awareness in youth.
