The Ethics of Gossiping
Manage episode 358583529 series 3143480
In this episode, Aditi, Ashley and Jakob argue if gossip is inherently good or inherently bad. Do intentions matter more than the outcome of a situation? When is it acceptable? Is gossip just a part of the innate human need to exchange information and communicate? And what is the history behind the stereotype of someone who is "a gossip?" Tune in to this episode to hear our thoughts.
