Asked by:Are we still driven by the same principle/s that enabled the formation of life?
The absence of integrity has pervaded every part of society. How do we inspire and infuse integrity, from here on?
Lack of integrity has led to self-interest before social interest. As a species, if we continue we will obliterate ourselves and earth. This includes endless personal consumption, regardless of the environmental impact to the world, money before medical care, power and glory of national leaders before a love of and duty to their people, country and the world. Extreme poverty can be truly alleviated if world leaders would work together. War works, while the arsenal is manufactured by countries without integrity. Banks make gluttonous profits, while so many slave over a mortgage all their lives. Those born with the innate capacity of cognitive brilliance, who become scientists, leaders, inventors, business achievers, should be the carers of those with much less ability. How do we inspire and deliver integrity again?
What is the one mechanism that will unify all of humanity for common good?
I am asking because we are becoming more convergent at the same time we are becoming more divergent. We have the power to build and destroy each other and ourselves. I want to know what we are doing today to ensure humanity exists for future generations at the same time the earth is changing/evolving.
What is feminism? And if it is what you say it is, why on earth is it so divisive?
There is nothing more vile or polarising than an online conversation thread about feminism.
When I was a teenager I read something wonderful and it stayed with me, the author’s name however did not. The internet attributes this vacant place in my brain to Rebecca West.
“I myself have never been able to find out precisely what feminism is: I only know that people call me a feminist whenever I express sentiments that differentiate me from a doormat.”
Asked by:Does the Aboriginal culture of family and sharing help or hinder their position in Australian society? And is migration an added threat?
Because new waves of migrants continue to make healthy, happy new futures in Australia while the Aboriginal people seem to suffer continued low employment and poor health.
Asked by:What paradigm will replace the current power-centric economic, political system?
Can – and should – men be called feminists … or should feminist-sympathising men be named separately?
Could we have a more sustainable, democratic and fairer world without using money as our principle for production and exchange?
This is a question that propels my research (at RMIT University), e.g. I co-edited Life Without Money: Building Fair and Sustainable Economies (2011, Pluto Press, London)
Asked by: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.
Asked by:What is Australia’s “national security” policy and strategy?
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.
