Life's "Big Questions" discussion group
Enjoy discussion groups and tackling life’s thorny questions? Try our Term 1 "Big Questions" course! This series of eight group discussions in our new Philosophy series examines life’s big questions. Topics include: What is the meaning of life? How to lead a good life? What is the best moral and political system? What is Language? Is our universe real? Does God exist? Is there truth, and if so, what is it?
Each session is introduced with a brief introduction from two guest presenters on the evening’s topic (with different backgrounds and perspectives), followed by an evening of moderated group discussion in which you participate.
This course meets on Thursday evenings (7:00-9:00pm) beginning on 18 Feb 2021.

Poll: Do you think NZ should ban social media for youth?
The Australian Prime Minister has expressed plans to ban social media use for children.
This would make it illegal for under 16-year-olds to have accounts on platforms including TikTok, Instagram, Facebook and X.
Social media platforms would be tasked with ensuring children have no access (under-age children and their parents wouldn’t be penalised for breaching the age limit)
