Discuss & Social 🍷 Is war human nature or nurture? The Odyssey dilemma

Make new friends and discuss a new topic every week - we rotate between big world issues and daily life. This week’s topic: Is war part of our human DNA, or is it taught to us by society? If it is natural, then why - as Christopher Nolan's new *Odyssey* movie shows - do so many soldiers and survivors suffer from intense trauma and guilt for the rest of their lives? War happens across all eras and countries, so it is easy to believe that it's a permanent part of humanity. Yet research shows that humans are fully capable of living without violence. We'll discuss... 1\. Are humans naturally violent\, or do bad systems and leaders drive us to fight? 2\. Is pop culture (movies\, games\, social media etc) making war look exciting and stopping us from seeing the real consequences? 3\. What practical steps can we take to stop war in the present day? *Skip the small talk and join a room of global minds and cosmopolitans for our weekly conversation lounge.
