Do you consider yourself a feminist? Can men be feminists too? If the word has got a bad reputation, why do
you think this is true? Do you admire
Emma Watson for speaking up about it?
If these are the false definitions of feminism, what is your definition?

Going up in smoke

Why do you think people are afraid to talk about death? Should people talk about it more openly? Would you rather be cremated than buried? How does your idea of your funeral differ from Caitlin’s? What do you think would be the advantages and disadvantages of having a job like hers?

A flood of apples and pears

Will sanctions against Russia help to
change Putin’s course of action in Ukraine?
Do sanctions tend to hurt innocent people such as small business owners
and farmers more than the politicians that they target? Is Russia’s ban on Western agricultural
goods an understandable response to the sanctions he is facing? What do you think about the EU’s reaction to
this situation?
An anti-English Englishman
Do you have as negative a view of English
culture as this man? As a citizen of a
country which has been rated as the least patriotic in Europe, can you
understand what it feels like not to be proud of your national identity? Do you consider yourself a typical
Slovak? Would you like it better if you
were considered Czechoslovak (or European? or an Earthling?) than Slovak? Is it good to be strongly critical of your
own culture, or should you try to look more on the bright side?
Watch out for cars!
How safe do you feel as a pedestrian or
cyclist in Bratislava? Would the
changes made in Sweden and in my home state (Minnesota) work here? How can cities encourage more people to
walk or bicycle?
Kicking God out of school?
Should religious schools receive funding
from the state like secular schools?
Would parents be wise to send their children to schools of a different
religion to broaden their horizons?
Should every student have to learn about religion? What should the content of religious
instruction classes look like? Should
there be more education about Christianity in Christian countries for example?
What do you think about Slovakia’s solutions to these problems as compared to
South Africa’s?
A turn of the wheel and a roll of the dice

Is gambling a good way to generate money for state projects and charities, or is it just taxes with another name, or even stealing? Does it prey on people’s addictions? How does it affect tourism and a town or city’s reputation? Would Bratislava be a better place with fewer casinos, or are they an important part of the economy?

Yum. I shouldn’t be doing this. Yum.
This is the last article you can comment on
for this month.
Does feeling guilty about what you eat lead
to better eating habits or just make you feel bad? Is this more of a problem with women than with men? Is food guilt
as common in Slovakia as it seems to be in New Zealand?
