What you can learn outside of your social bubble

Sadie Parent encourages us to step outside our social bubbles.

How often do you intentionally interact with people who have different world, political, religious, or cultural views from you? In this engaging Talk, speaker Sadie Parent introduces the concept of "affirmation bias," which confirms that we are more likely to have positive feelings towards our "in-group" (people who are like us) and more negative feelings towards those in our "out-group." Sadie had a unique childhood that exposed her to lots of different people from all over the world and has "decided not to be limited by the confines of [her] own social bubble. Bubbles are meant to be popped." In the end, Sadie puts out a call to action to recognize the limitations of our own world views, engage with others respectfully, and expand our social circles so that we may achieve "a stronger understanding of humanity and a fuller life experience."
