How well do we really know the theories that shape our understanding of human behaviour? Have you ever questioned whether Maslow's hierarchy of needs applies universally? Or whether the fight-or-flight response truly captures the full range of our reactions to stress? Let's have a thought-provoking discussion and dive into these widely adopted concepts—along with the idea of the distribution of labour—and uncover the surprising flaws and limitations within them. Some of these "bugs" were even acknowledged by the original theorists themselves!
Together, we’ll examine how these popular theories gained cultural traction, why they endure, and where they fall short. This isn’t just about critiquing established ideas—it’s about broadening our perspective and engaging in smart, curious dialogue about the human experience. Whether you’re well-versed in psychology or simply intrigued by why we think the way we do, this discussion will challenge assumptions and inspire fresh insights.
