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.

    How can politicians keep better pace with public opinion? Particularly on need for more radical action on climate change but also on same sex marriage.

    This has been a conspicuous problem with the Howard and Abbott governments, but always a potential one. In the case of climate change it is particularly pressing to take positive action ( see Naomi Klein -This changes everything). Refugee policy would be another issue.

    The tragic picture of the drowned Syrian toddler, or Kevin Carter’s picture of the starving Sudanese child with a vulture waiting to pounce, lead to compassionate letters about how we deal with the aftermath of the world’s tragedies. But where are the ideas for how we stop these tragedies at their source?

    Can you tell us how we, the people, convince the United nations to act as a genuine force for good in the world by bringing together the might of the world’s most powerful nations to rectify, at its source, the trauma these individuals are enduring? Or can you suggest other ways we can act? I’m asking this question out of sheer frustration that we can do nothing more than be compassionate to the world’s victims AFTER the event. People power has achieved results before, so perhaps those caring people can do more now – but how?

    Does society need to face up to its diversity rather than fear losing its privacy?
    4+

    Suppression of information is a means of maintaining power structures. Society prefers to pretend we all conform to an imagined standard rather than accept its own diverse nature.

    Why are we letting Marketing “Rule the World”?
    24+

    People who travel on Melbourne trains are now “customers”, we’re no longer “passengers”. At many service organisations, people with a disability are no longer “clients”, they are “customers”. The change of language, driven by Marketing, is leading to many problems.

    I think fear drives the majority of our choices, in both positive and negative ways. I love hearing people talk about how it impacts them.

    I can’t bear meditation – am I the only one? It’s such a buzz-concept at the moment; others must be wondering too.
