change with the passing of time. Since the beginning of mankind, humanity has changed and evolved, in order to adapt to its environment and ultimately survive. In the year 2022, however, societal change has implications that are more complex and multifaceted than ever. <\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The rapid development of technology over the past decades, for instance, has allowed for brilliant discoveries to be made within fields such as healthcare and communication, improving the lives of millions of people and providing new opportunities to previously underdeveloped areas. On the other hand, such growth may cause individuals to become ultra-dependent on technology or cause social media addiction and other phenomena that may have a negative effect on the users\u2019 mental health. These contrasting aspects of change within the field of technology are two sides of the same coin.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Moreover, it can be difficult for us as humans to accept change, despite whether we view it as good or bad. Certain psychological biases such as cognitive dissonance may make personal change and growth extremely difficult for certain individuals. Societal change ultimately has its pitfalls as various social groups hold conflicting personal and political ideologies, such as progressive vs conservative views, making it extremely difficult to decide on what change is ultimately \u201cgood\u201d for society. <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"Type__TypeElement-goli3j-0 iaEwFO umouqjSkMUbvF4I_Xz6r\">\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><style type=\"text\/css\">.fusion-body .fusion-builder-column-2{width:50% !important;margin-top : 0px;margin-bottom : 20px;}.fusion-builder-column-2 > .fusion-column-wrapper {padding-top : 0px !important;padding-right : 0px !important;margin-right : 3.84%;padding-bottom : 0px !important;padding-left : 0px !important;margin-left : 3.84%;}@media only screen and (max-width:1280px) {.fusion-body .fusion-builder-column-2{width:50% !important;order : 0;}.fusion-builder-column-2 > .fusion-column-wrapper {margin-right : 3.84%;margin-left : 3.84%;}}@media only screen and (max-width:414px) {.fusion-body .fusion-builder-column-2{width:100% !important;order : 0;}.fusion-builder-column-2 > .fusion-column-wrapper {margin-right : 1.92%;margin-left : 1.92%;}}<\/style><\/div><\/div><style type=\"text\/css\">.fusion-body .fusion-flex-container.fusion-builder-row-2{ padding-top : 0px;margin-top : 0px;padding-right : 0px;padding-bottom : 0px;margin-bottom : 0px;padding-left : 0px;}<\/style><\/div><div class=\"fusion-fullwidth fullwidth-box fusion-builder-row-3 fusion-flex-container nonhundred-percent-fullwidth non-hundred-percent-height-scrolling fusion-animated\" style=\"background-color: var(--awb-color1);background-position: center center;background-repeat: no-repeat;border-width: 0px 0px 0px 0px;border-color:var(--awb-color3);border-style:solid;\" data-animationType=\"zoomInLeft\" data-animationDuration=\"0.3\" data-animationOffset=\"top-into-view\" ><div class=\"fusion-builder-row fusion-row fusion-flex-align-items-stretch\" style=\"max-width:1248px;margin-left: calc(-4% \/ 2 );margin-right: calc(-4% \/ 2 );\"><div class=\"fusion-layout-column fusion_builder_column fusion-builder-column-3 fusion_builder_column_1_1 1_1 fusion-flex-column fusion-flex-align-self-stretch fusion-animated\" data-animationType=\"fadeInLeft\" data-animationDuration=\"1.6\" data-animationOffset=\"top-into-view\"><div class=\"fusion-column-wrapper fusion-flex-justify-content-space-between fusion-content-layout-column\" style=\"background-position:left top;background-repeat:no-repeat;-webkit-background-size:cover;-moz-background-size:cover;-o-background-size:cover;background-size:cover;background-color:var(--awb-color5);padding: 5% 5% 5% 5%;\"><div class=\"fusion-text fusion-text-2 fusion-text-no-margin\" style=\"font-size:20px;color:var(--awb-color1);font-family:&quot;SYNAPSE GEOMETRY&quot;;font-weight:400;margin-top:5%;margin-right:5%;margin-bottom:5%;margin-left:5%;\"><p style=\"text-align: center;\">Chris and Ilinca are co-hosting this episode of the Synapse Podcast, the 2nd from the theme \u201cSynapse Your Future | The Power to Embrace Change\u201d.

Her passion for literature, culture and media prompted her to bring up the idea to her school director, resulting in the creation of an innovative and thought-provoking club. She is fascinated by the relationship between the creative and the analytical, and discovering the intersectionality between her various areas of interest, such as poetry and business. As society becomes consumed with the ideas of consumerism and efficiency, Ilinca believes that humanity and compassion are the keys to creating powerful organizations that lead to positive social change.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><style type=\"text\/css\">.fusion-body .fusion-builder-column-5{width:66.666666666667% !important;margin-top : 0px;margin-bottom : 20px;}.fusion-builder-column-5 > .fusion-column-wrapper {padding-top : 0px !important;padding-right : 10% !important;margin-right : 2.88%;padding-bottom : 0px !important;padding-left : 0px !important;margin-left : 3.84%;}@media only screen and (max-width:1280px) {.fusion-body .fusion-builder-column-5{width:66.666666666667% !important;order : 0;}.fusion-builder-column-5 > .fusion-column-wrapper {margin-right : 7.2%;margin-left : 10.08%;}}@media only screen and (max-width:414px) {.fusion-body .fusion-builder-column-5{width:100% !important;order : 1;margin-bottom : 0px;}.fusion-builder-column-5 > .fusion-column-wrapper {padding-top : 48px !important;padding-right : 2px !important;margin-right : 1.92%;padding-bottom : 48px !important;padding-left : 0px !important;margin-left : 1.92%;}}<\/style><\/div><div class=\"fusion-layout-column fusion_builder_column fusion-builder-column-6 fusion_builder_column_2_3 2_3 fusion-flex-column fusion-animated\" data-animationType=\"fadeInRight\" data-animationDuration=\"1.6\" data-animationOffset=\"top-into-view\"><div class=\"fusion-column-wrapper fusion-flex-justify-content-flex-start fusion-content-layout-column\" style=\"background-position:left top;background-repeat:no-repeat;-webkit-background-size:cover;-moz-background-size:cover;-o-background-size:cover;background-size:cover;padding: 0px 0px 0px 20%;\"><style type=\"text\/css\">.fusion-title.fusion-title-3 .fusion-animated-texts-wrapper::before{background-color:var(--awb-color5)!important}@media only screen and (max-width:1280px) {.fusion-title.fusion-title-3{margin-top:10px!important; margin-right:0px!important;margin-bottom:20px!important;margin-left:0px!important;}}@media only screen and (max-width:414px) {.fusion-title.fusion-title-3{margin-top:10px!important; margin-right:0px!important;margin-bottom:10px!important; margin-left:0px!important;}}<\/style><div class=\"fusion-title title fusion-title-3 fusion-sep-none fusion-title-rotating fusion-loop-off fusion-title-typeIn fusion-title-size-four\" style=\"font-size:var(--awb-typography1-font-size);margin-top:10px;margin-right:0px;margin-bottom:20px;margin-left:0px;\"><h4 class=\"title-heading-right fusion-responsive-typography-calculated\" style=\"font-family:var(--awb-typography1-font-family);font-weight:var(--awb-typography1-font-weight);font-style:var(--awb-typography1-font-style);margin:0;font-size:1em;letter-spacing:var(--awb-typography1-letter-spacing);text-transform:var(--awb-typography1-text-transform);color:var(--awb-color5);--fontSize:46;line-height:var(--awb-typography1-line-height);\"><span class=\"fusion-animated-text-prefix\"><\/span> <span class=\"fusion-animated-texts-wrapper\" style=\"text-align: center;\" data-length=\"char\" data-minDisplayTime=\"1200\"><span class=\"fusion-animated-texts\"><span data-in-effect=\"typeIn\" class=\"fusion-animated-text\" data-in-sequence=\"true\" data-out-reverse=\"true\" data-out-effect=\"typeOut\">Chris Sas<\/span><\/span><\/span> <span class=\"fusion-animated-text-postfix\"><\/span><\/h4><\/div><div class=\"fusion-text fusion-text-4 fusion-text-no-margin\" style=\"font-size:var(--awb-typography4-font-size);line-height:var(--awb-typography4-line-height);letter-spacing:var(--awb-typography4-letter-spacing);text-transform:var(--awb-typography4-text-transform);color:hsla(var(--awb-color8-h),var(--awb-color8-s),var(--awb-color8-l),calc(var(--awb-color8-a) - 20%));font-family:var(--awb-typography4-font-family);font-weight:var(--awb-typography4-font-weight);font-style:var(--awb-typography4-font-style);margin-bottom:40px;\"><p style=\"text-align: right;\">Chris&#8217;s contribution to founding the first student-run magazine of International School of Bucharest alongside Ilinca created a warm environment between students, teachers and parents. This &#8222;synapse&#8221; between the academic social sphere and current events, culture and creativity allowed for several initiatives such as the &#8216;Swimathon&#8217; fundraiser &#8211; aimed to raise money for children with autism. His fascination with social and economic innovation and how it affects culture, politics and global affairs led to the desire to find outlets on how to inform and educate using mediums such as art. Innovation always manifests itself in culture. Chris is interested in exploring this phenomenon.<\/p>\n<\/div><div class=\"fusion-text fusion-text-5\"><p style=\"text-align: center;\">Both of them are looking forward to starting their academic
