Asked by:If the entire world had just one universal currency and there was a person on each of the five notes, who should they be?
How can we improve our powers of persuasion?
We seem to spend a lot of time telling people they’re wrong (and even stupid) – in politics, in the media, on social forums. Nobody ever seems to change their mind. It all seems a bit boring and pointless. Can we change the way we communicate and actually have an effect?
Asked by:Will we ever evolve to a place where we make decisions, not just on the financial and economic benefit but for “The Greater Good” of the majority not just the powerful and financially wealthy ?
Because, having watched as, at least those in the West, have turned away from the principles offered by the Ten Commandments and instead adopted the principles of The Seven Deadly Sins (with great enthusiasm I might add) we seem to be losing our humanity. Social justice is fading away and social depression and hopelessness is its replacement. Why does it matter to me? I guess because I actually care about people and it makes me angry and sad to see us destroying, not just the planet, but ourselves. I guess it’s the “no man is an Island…” and “Do unto others” Once we forget those, what do we become – non humans? Who says “history never repeats” they were nuts !
Why mankind never learn from history?
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.

What are the similarities between music and sport?
While both activities involves competition, the grace of movement and collaboration, they seem so far apart socially and culturally.
Asked by:If a Journalist enters the woods, and doesn’t make a brand for themselves, do they still make a sound?
I’m a journalism student, and I’m sick of being asked to respond to the notion of a ‘brand’. I even had Fairfax present a curriculum as part of my course which spent a week on “brand building”. I find this insufferable, and I’d like to see how other current practitioners and other students feel about this notion. Obviously, change is inevitable, but to what extent are journalists performers, too?
Asked by:How can Australian’s allow asylum seekers to be locked up indefinitely, when no one can guarantee their safety?
Nauru is in such a parlous state of dysfunction that New Zealand has just announced it is no longer willing to fund its justice system. Staff who report the abuse are sacked and medical staff now confront the threat of a two-year jail sentence for reporting the abuse of women and children. I am worried we have that we have become a country that denies people their basic human rights.
If offices were filled with piano keyboards rather than computer keyboards, would the world be a happier place?
If we all tapped away at pianos rather than computers, maybe we’d all be happier.
Asked by:Should the world end?
Are we doing so much damage to ourselves and others that a forced expiry date may be a good thing? Are we mature enough to put a doctored nuclear holocaust or global species-wide euthanasia to a vote, or simply discuss?
