Religion, ethics and crowd behaviour!

Tuesday, July 27th, 2010

 

A quick follow up on a few things we’ve mentioned on the show recently.

As part of our recent program about ‘dark tourism’ we interviewed Scott Stephens, the Editor of the ABC’s new online religion and ethics portal. Since we spoke to Scott that portal has launched. You can find a range of opinion pieces, features and highlights from recent ABC programs.

In March we did an interview with Dan Hill, part of an international team of designers involved with a futuristic project called The Cloud. Our sister program The Night Air recently used some of that interview as part of a feature called ‘What the Flock?‘, which looked at group dynamics, crowd behaviour and herding.

That’s all the links for now!

Sites of death and horror are being packaged-up and commercialised in order to meet the tourist demand - from Auchwitz to the S21-Prison used by the Khmer Rouge.

Future Tense report on why an increasing number of people are actively seeking out a thanatourism experience.

One of our guests is the ABC Online’s new Religion and Ethics Editor, Scott Stephens. Here’s a taste of what he has to say…
