The Social Influence Shebang: Morality and Empathy | Gabrielle Thomson | TEDxYouth@RMSST

In her TEDxYouth@RMSST presentation, Gabrielle Thomson explores how society shapes our sense of morality and empathy through powerful influences like culture, religion, social media, and law. She shows how exposure to group norms, online content, and authority structures can alter the way we understand right and wrong, often affecting how we treat others. Ultimately, she encourages listeners to develop their own moral identity, resist negative influences, and respond humanely to injustice. Gabrielle Thomson is a dedicated research student at Rockdale Magnet School for Science and Technology, passionate about the impact of public speaking and the power of thought-provoking discourse. Through her experience in speech and debate, she has seen firsthand how discussions on topics like bullying and social anxiety can shape perspectives and inspire change. At TEDxYouth@RMSST, Gabrielle seeks to challenge her peers to consider morality and empathy in their daily lives. Her talk encourages mindfulness, ethical self-reflection, and compassion, providing listeners with tools to navigate an increasingly complex world. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at https://www.ted.com/tedx
