What should
be done about ill-gotten art objects which form part of the collections of
Western museums? Should they be returned
or should they be used to educate the West about other cultures? Can museums help us to learn about the dark
side of our history, or do they usually simply encourage national pride and an
erasure of inconvenient narratives?

When the apple falls far from the tree
link
Is having a
child who is different than you or being different than your parents a
handicap? What can parents do to make
this situation better for all concerned?
Does society (or Slovak society in particular) discriminate against
strongly extroverted children, or is it tougher on those who are shy?
The oldest profession—but still not legal in Canada
link
This is the
last entry you can comment on for the month of December.
Is sex work
a legitimate choice which should become a legal profession? Does it make sense to criminalise seeing a
prostitute, but not being one? Would
legalisation make it more prevalent in our society, or would it simply make it
easier to regulate? Do you think the legalisation of this industry could ever
occur in Slovakia (as it has in Germany or the Netherlands)?
