    This episode dissects the intricate web of societal issues defining our times. We uncover lingering impacts of historical injustices like slavery and segregation, and how skin tone still shapes interactions despite progress. Widening economic disparities, rooted in past dominance disguised as racial distinction, are also investigated.

    Shifting from the economic focus of the previous episode, we ask fundamental questions: What is society? How does it function? This becomes a gateway to understanding society's construction, soon venturing into religion, culture, and tradition—underexplored elements crucial to society's formation and the challenges they present.

    Environmental Condition: How the Built Environment Impacts Human Behavior, Mental & Physical Health
    Nov 15 2023
    Join us on this insightful episode as we explore the profound impact of the built environment on human behavior, mental and physical health. We investigate how architecture, city planning, and community design, can either promote or discourage certain behaviors. Discover how people living in green spaces tend to be more physically active, have a sense of community, and less likely to suffer from depression & anxiety. In contrast, individuals in environments with high levels of pollution and noise are prone to experiencing stress and health problems. Learn how designing public spaces plays a pivotal role in enhancing social interactions in communities and how implementing proper environmental design leads to healthier, more sustainable, and more equitable communities.
