Moral Outrage, Social Disconnect and How Humans Coexist

What are constructive paths to passionate disagreement that allow us to share without destroying relationships?

Dillon Smith, content manager for Carey Nieuwhof Communications, and Rob Henderson, PhD student at Cambridge University, explain the trend of social shaming and cancel culture connected to moral outrage.

Human beings are susceptible to one’s environment, opinions of peers, and the social circles we run in.

Rather than fueling emotionally charged social media, it may be essential to let go of the urge to like or retweet and focus on connection rather than division.
