    Season 1 Re-Air - What does it mean to be human?

    We're taking it way back to our first episode ever. Why? When it comes to explosive topics like the death penalty and abortion, we've realised that it's easy to get caught up in the legalities and our own ideas and opinions. While discussing these topics in office, we've had to remind ourselves that the people we're talking about are still human. Enjoy this throwback and remember, humans deserve some form of basic dignity. Whatever that looks like to you, take some time to think it over.

    203: Abortion

    A conversation that never gets old... Abortion. It's been at the focal point of political debates, dinner discussions and social media posts. Pro-lifers and pro-choice communities have been fighting for decades. This week we discuss our views on abortion and where we lie with our beliefs on whether or not we agree with it. It's a tough topic and one we believe each person needs to make their mind up about through educating themselves and having open, honest discussions with those in their community.  Some resources:  - The NB one Jarryd quotes facts from: http://freakonomics.com/podcast/abortion/  - https://open.spotify.com/episode/2ycQbLsazRf7X2AeZrUHy6?si=RrHXehWDRMK9gG4EbciMYQ

    S2:Ep02 Death Penalty

    A much-debated topic... Should the death penalty be instated as punishment for heinous crimes? Where does human dignity come in? We present to you two contrasting opinions... One that fights for human dignity and allowing people the opportunity to rehabilitate within the security of prison and one that strictly advocates corporal punishment.

    S2:Ep1 Soul Mates

    If you’d like insight into someone’s worldview… Ask them about soulmates. This episode sure was enlightening as we discussed, debated and at times, clashed heads about our beliefs on soulmates. Believing in soulmates means you believe in that one person that completes you, that makes your life better and without them, you’d be lost. With that in mind, join us as we tackle this topic. Connect with us on our social media platforms to join in on the discussion.

    07: Finding Purpose

    The biggest question, dilemma and life inhibitor... What is my purpose? This very question has sent people on journey's across the world, into the throes of depression and into the very best experiences of their lives. Where do we find purpose and how do we go about discovering it? Today we delve into the foundations of purpose - what can we agree on should be at the centre of finding our purpose? Where should we be looking? How does finding our purpose effect the world? Join us in the discussion and let's figure this out together!

    06: Human Dignity

    At its root, dignity ascribes to 'worthiness.' When we speak of human dignity, we speak of a person's worth. What determines it? When do we give it? The answer is quite simple. We delve into human worth into our current society, what giving dignity looks like and the difference between dignity and respect.

    05: The Power of Sports

    In light of the Rugby World Cup that started this weekend (goooo Bokke!... No?) and Heritage Day tomorrow, we've decided to explore Mandela's legacy of the power of sport to break barriers. Let us know how you think sport can be used to bring about change and let us know how individuals and organisations can work together to use sport to empower!  "It has the power to change the world. It has the power to inspire. It has the power to unite people. In a way that little else does. It speaks to youth i a language they understand. Sport can create hope where once there was only despair. It is more powerful than governments. In breaking down racial barriers. It laughs in the face of all types of discrimination. The heroes are standing with me, are examples of this power. They are valiant, not only in the playing field but also in the community. Both local and international. They are champions and they deserve the world's recognition." - Nelson Mandela
