Salon Series: Navigating the Political Landscape: Mental Health, Social Media, and Constructive Dialogue
Don't miss the first event in Fogler Library's exciting new Salon Series, which kicks off on Tuesday, Oct. 8 from 6—7:30 p.m. on Zoom and in person at Fogler Library in Orono.
In our hyper-connected world, where politics pervade life and social media is both a platform for discourse and a battleground for ideologies, maintaining mental well-being can be a challenge.
The discussion can be joined via zoom or in person, so join us in exploring the intricate relationship between mental health, social media, and politics. In this Salon, we will explore ways in which social media shapes our political views and, subsequently, impacts our mental wellness. The speakers will share insights in the way groupthink, misinformation, and logical fallacies influence our thoughts and emotional states.
Learn how to “disagree without being disagreeable” by spotting misinformation, groupthink, and logical fallacies. Discover the importance of mindful media consumption and how to create a balance between staying informed and your mental well-being.
