Education and grading system

Do you think it is fair to grade a student with artistic or humanities talents according to the same principles as a student with a scientific mind?

Can an artistically gifted student be graded the same way as a future engineer? Today’s education system often tries to fit everyone into the same mold, where conformity to the key matters more than originality of thought. Supporters of uniform criteria argue that this is the only way to ensure fairness and comparability of results. Critics respond that this kills creativity and turns school into a factory of standardized minds. In the background lies the question: is this education, or programming society? And you – do you prefer equal rules or an individual approach?

18-year-olds – adults or still young?

Do you think 18-year-olds should already be punished as adults, or should the age of full criminal responsibility be raised to 21?

The age of majority has always stirred emotions, and today the question of whether an 18-year-old is already a fully grown adult is becoming increasingly relevant. Supporters of keeping the current regulations emphasize that at this age one can vote, drive a car, or start a family – and thus should also be held accountable like adults. Critics, however, argue that young people’s brains are still developing, and impulsiveness and lack of experience should be taken into account in criminal law. There are also theories that harsh punishments for the young serve statistics more than justice. Is raising the threshold to 21 a protection for youth, or a path to impunity?

The Whole Truth About Pharmaceutical Companies

Do you think pharmaceutical companies aim to permanently cure diseases, or are they more focused on maximizing profits?

Do pharmaceutical companies truly want to cure us – or just keep us in a state of chronic treatment? This question is being asked more and more, not only by skeptics but also by ordinary patients. In a world where billions are made on illness, it’s hard not to question the priorities of the medical industry. There are accusations of hiding effective treatments and reserving real cures for the rich. For some, it’s a conspiracy theory – for others, a logical business decision. Who really cares about our health, and who about our wallets? See what others think – and take a stand in the poll.

Shape of the Earth

What do you think the Earth really looks like?

Earth – a planet shaped like a geoid drifting through infinite space, or a spectacular hoax orchestrated by the elites? Official science leaves no doubt: our planet is a geoid – slightly flattened at the poles, bulging at the equator. And yet something feels off. More and more people point out that satellite images show an almost perfect sphere – no flattening, no distortion. Coincidence or manipulation? Supporters of the flat and concave Earth theories argue that the whole narrative is a massive lie, and that the UN logo showing a flat Earth is no accident. Who’s right? Or is it all a matter of belief – in science, in our senses, or in conspiracies? Vote before gravity decides for you

Inheritance of Trauma and Memories

Do you think trauma or other experiences can be passed down through DNA from generation to generation?

Can we really carry fears that were never ours?
The inheritance of trauma through DNA is a topic that teeters between science and something much deeper. Epigenetics opens the door to hypotheses suggesting that our ancestors’ experiences can literally “reprogram” our genes. But where does biology end and upbringing begin? Are we born already carrying someone else’s emotional baggage, or is this just a narrative shaped by our family environment? And if ancestral memories really are encoded in us – the question is, why? See what others think – and decide for yourself who your fears truly belong to.

Abortion Today – Euthanasia Tomorrow

Does the legalization of abortion not pave the way for the social acceptance of eliminating the elderly, the sick, and the unproductive?

Abortion and euthanasia – two issues that have long divided public opinion – are now increasingly mentioned in the same breath. For some, legalizing abortion is a sign of progress and the individual’s right to decide about their own life; for others, it’s the beginning of a slippery slope toward the social acceptance of eliminating the “unnecessary”: the elderly, the sick, the unproductive. In an era when debates over demographics and healthcare costs are growing sharper, the line between freedom of choice and the selection of life can dangerously shift. Is this a bold reform, or the prelude to a dystopia where human worth is measured by usefulness? See what others think – and decide where you stand.
