Spanking as a method of upbringing?

Do you support the idea that a parent should be allowed to spank a child as a form of discipline?

Spanking as an educational method has sparked debates in Poland and around the world for years. Some argue that a symbolic spanking is an effective, traditional form of discipline, and that banning it is an attack on parental rights and an attempt by the state to take over child-rearing. Others respond that it is nothing more than physical violence against a child, just given a softer name. Supporters of a moderate approach add that spanking can be a last resort when all else fails, but even that provokes opposition from child rights advocates and psychologists. The dispute is fueled by evidence of the long-term effects of violence as well as conspiracy theories suggesting that spanking bans are part of a plan to weaken the family as an institution. And you – do you believe spanking is a normal parenting tool, or rather a hidden form of violence?

Health Education in Schools – Necessary or Harmful?

Do you think health education should be mandatory in schools?

Health education in schools is one of the most divisive elements of the curriculum. Some believe that children and teenagers have the right to reliable knowledge about health, puberty, sexuality, and the existence of many gender identities, so they can consciously protect themselves from diseases and make responsible decisions. Others warn that it is merely a way of introducing ideology into schools and taking away parents’ right to decide how their children are raised. Supporters of compromise call for classes to be available only with parental consent and in a neutral, medical form. So, is health education a necessary support, or rather a risky social experiment?

Same-sex marriage and child adoption

Should same-sex marriages have the right to adopt children?

Same-sex marriages and their right to adopt children remain one of the most heated social disputes. Supporters emphasize that love and stability matter more than the parents’ gender, and every child deserves a safe home. Critics argue that adoption should only occur within the traditional family model, claiming that the absence of a father or mother disrupts the natural upbringing pattern. In the background arise questions about human rights, ideological influence, and controversial studies that some circles say are manipulated to prove the superiority of one model over another. Is this truly a fight for the well-being of children, or rather a political game about redefining the family?

Partner similar to a parent or completely different?

Do you think people often choose a partner who resembles one of their parents or a close person from childhood?

It has long been said that choosing a partner is never accidental – do we really subconsciously look for traits of our mother, father, or someone from childhood in another person? Evolutionary psychology suggests that familiar features or behaviors provide a sense of security and stability. Others claim this is just a myth, and the real driving force is hormones and genes that decide who attracts us. There are also opinions that most people deliberately run away from family patterns, choosing contrast to avoid repeating their parents’ mistakes. Conspiracy theories go even further, suggesting that our preferences may be the result of imprinted social patterns or even cultural manipulation. And you – do you really choose with your heart, or are you just replaying a childhood pattern?

Humanization of Animals – Dehumanization of Children

Do you think that modern laws and social narratives lead to the dehumanization of children (e.g., through the legalization of abortion on demand) while increasingly “humanizing” animals and imposing severe penalties for harming them?

It is increasingly common to get the impression that modern law works against common sense. On the one hand, there is growing acceptance of abortion on demand, which for many is equivalent to stripping unborn children of their humanity. On the other hand, the brutal treatment of animals is met with increasingly harsh penalties, and their legal status is approaching that of humans. Some see this as a moral decline, others as civilizational progress and proof that empathy is no longer selective. But where is the line beyond which protecting the life of an animal becomes more important than the life of a human?

Partner’s appearance

Do people you find exceptionally physically attractive often have a different type of appearance from those you imagine yourself in a long-term relationship with?

Strong physical attraction versus choosing a life partner is a topic that can reveal our hidden priorities. Many admit that “chemistry” operates on completely different principles than love and stability. Psychologists point out that instinct may draw us toward types completely different from those with whom we realistically envision a future. Is this proof of the dual nature of human desires, or the result of cultural patterns and social pressure? Check in the poll which side you’re on.
