How much of what we define as mental illness is actually a difficult personality?
    22+

    There are varying degrees of mental illness – some are profoundly affected where others are not. In the lesser cases, some of these people display signs of a difficult personality or difficult behaviour, but use the label of mental illness. How do we define which is which, and navigate the tricky terrain where their behaviour affects families, workplaces and relationships?

    Would you take a drug that induced happiness with one side effect; the following day, you remember being happy but not what had happened?
    3+

    Knowing ourselves seems to be the foundation for everything. It is important to question, and be critical of the thoughts, actions and beliefs that resonate with us. Such contemplation is crucial to continual self-development and sanity. Thus, madness can be partly seen as obliviousness, or in history it was highlighted as forgetting. If we forgot what had made us happy, are we mad?

    what does it mean to be ‘wild’ in an urban world?
    7+

    Modern existence is tethered to urban environments, but many aspects of human nature don’t fall in neat urban planned lines; whilst activities and initiatives exist to give life to the city, what would true urban freedom, the capacity to grow uncontrolled or unrestrained mean for health and happiness?

    Why mankind never learn from history?
    1+

    Similar wars, Dictatorships Governments and issues is happening rapidly in history. Why the people want to make these disasters never read the history. If they learn from history similar disasters in human life will never happen. For example after Adolf Hitler in Germany ( Dictator that Suicide at last) many other dictators came ( Like Saddam Hussein in Iraq and…) and they got the same results. If we read the nations history it is full of similar issues was made by mankind. In fact mankind is repeating his/her mistakes rapidly without taking care to the result of same mistakes was made by others before.

    When will women’s health issues such as endometriosis be given greater priority? They are chronic and can mean an end to life and happiness.
    10+

    Endometriosis and related conditions are VERY expensive to treat and go hand in hand with not being able to work so women and girls cannot move out, gain employment and are stuck in a hideously painful rut. The medical profession can be woefully uneducated about women’s health and more drugs need to be on the PBS. I pay about $200 a month for mine!

    What is Australia’s “national security” policy and strategy?
    2+

    The Government and Labor Opposition often cite the importance of “national security”, most frequently in the context of countering terrorism and Islamic extremism. But there is no extant national security policy and strategy, and little public debate on this critical topic that should concern all Australians.

    CouldĀ the legitimisation of the guilty pleasure mean the end of judgmental music criticism (good riddance!), or are new hierarchies of taste emerging?
