“Simple truths”: People perceive life with narratives

December 08 2023, 17:10

A narrative shapes the basis of human perception, and when a person transforms into a narrative about himself, he becomes easy to understand. To put it differently, there are definitions that have nothing to do with political activity and public administration, but because their narratives are understandable to people, they succeed in the political arena.

People need to think about how they will be led: “Will the person we have chosen be able to lead us?” It turns out that there is someone famous in the foreground, whom people choose because he has a narrative, but behind the scenes there is a team that needs to work. In this regard, a narrative is so far invincible.

Viktor Soghomonyan, the author of the “Simple Truths” podcast, and his co-host Marianna Ghahramanyan address the most crucial, but not popular for discourse, issues that concern our society.
