    If the nation went to family therapy, who’d say what and why?

    Just a tongue-in-cheek way of getting to a productive discussion and maybe shaking some skeletons out of the cupboards and wardrobes.

    Will we ever get to a point where the concept of a country is obsolete?
    23+

    Every day the world grows smaller. Slowly but steadily, it’s becoming easier to exchange opinions, ideas, and culture. Sure, there’s a strong argument for identity, economic growth, and security, but perhaps it is equally as important to recognise that we are all humans on the same team. Especially in light of the recent refugee crisis, are borders becoming redundant, and is the idea of a country really necessary?

    What is Australian cuisine?
    13+

    French? Garlic, butter, snails and frogs. Italian? Pasta, cured meats and tomatoes. American? Burgers, gumbo, lobster. Australian…?

    How do we define what makes Australian food Australian? Our national dishes – meat pie, pavlova, lamington – are cobbled together from the cuisines of other countries. We’ve got a century or more of food culture under our belt now, but it’s still so hard to define what makes Australian food Australian.

    How equal is ‘equal enough’?
    12+

    There are less people in poverty now than ever before in history, however the gap in between those at the top and those at the bottom continues to grow. We are all citizens of the globe, so what should we be aiming for, to ensure equity between us all?

    To be or not to be?

    To me that is the fundamental question which humanity has too ask itself, and, depending on the answer, ask many more about our role in the world and our responsibilities, to the rest of humanity and the all that makes up the world as we know it.

    The answers will have little value if we can’t agree on some common principles of ethics

    Why can’t women have crushes, and is ‘eye and ear candy’ ok?
    1+

    Because I feel like society frowns upon women having crushes and tends to smear it with sleaze.
