THE WHY Discussion Group

THE WHY is an interactive discussion group where curious minds come together to investigate the complex factors behind human behavior. Through guided analysis of real social media posts, news articles, YouTube videos, and public comments, we'll explore the psychological, social, and environmental forces that shape how people think and act.

This isn't about judging—it's about understanding.
