Wake Up Podcast: Episode 9 - The Social Dilemna

Welcome to episode 9 of the Wake Up Podcast in which we talk about the Netflix documentary - The Social Dilemna. We talk about all things, social media, phone addiction, personal data and also take a look at a different perspective from the documentary, analysing our generation's relationship with the internet. If there are any other films you would like us to watch and if you have any requests for future episodes, let us know!   The Social Dilemna Trailer (YT: Netflix): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uaaC57tcci0    What's wrong with The Social Dilemna (YT: Alex Meyers): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-xG_ajyHB3k  It’s not you. Phones designed to be addicting. (YT: Vox): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NUMa0QkPzns    In our podcasts, we want to dedicate a small portion at the end of our episode to raise awareness of an issue or support a business/idea. This week we wanted to spread awareness on the issue that Sikh farmers are currently facing. The Indian government has confiscated the farmland of more than 30,000 Sikh farmers in Uttar Pradesh. Sikh families have not been given any compensation and are now dealing with terrible living conditions and poverty. In the past 15 years, more than 250,000 farmers have committed suicide in India mainly due to financial pressures, according to the Indian National Crime Records Bureau statistics. Approximately one farmer commits suicide every 30 minutes.
