Does the idea of working for the collective good resonate with you more than working for personal wealth?
@9HSPDSY4mos4MO
I think there has to be a healthy balance of personal wealth and wanting best for others.

What influence do people in positions of authority (like teachers or bosses) have on your personal freedoms?
@9KTHSPY2mos2MO

If society's traditions conflict with modern values, should they be preserved or reevaluated?
@9H6DWBK5mos5MO
Each persons culture is different and unique and people need to follow their own rules and expectations for their beliefs and culture. It’s important to respect that, because no one wants to be humiliated for doing what they are supposed to do.
@9H6DS925mos5MO
Reevaluated because times change and we have to keep up with the change
@9H6DTPX5mos5MO
reevaluated because then people can think about the effects of these traditions
@ISIDEWITH2mos2MO
Could you share a personal story of a time when holding onto a traditional belief had a significant outcome?
@ISIDEWITH2mos2MO
Why might someone of your generation choose to uphold values from an older generation?
@9KSCWHS2mos2MO
Because some people as they age get selfish and forget what it is to be young and trying to raise a family.
@ISIDEWITH2mos2MO
Have you ever avoided a popular trend because it conflicted with your upbringing, and how did that make you feel?

How would you redesign the electoral system to better reflect the diversity of today's society?
In my opinion, redesigning the electoral system to better reflect the diversity of today's society is crucial for ensuring a more inclusive and representative democracy. One potential approach could be implementing a proportional representation system, which would allow for a more accurate allocation of seats based on the percentage of votes received by each political party. This would help ensure that minority voices are adequately represented in government.
Additionally, I believe that ranked-choice voting could be beneficial, as it encourages candidates to appeal to a broader range of… Read more

Communism
Communism is a political ideology that advocates for a classless society where all property is publicly owned, and each person works and is paid according to their abilities and needs.

They argued that society's history was a history of class struggles, and that the proletariat, or working class, would eventually rise up against the bourgeoisie, or capitalist class, to establish a communist society.

Can true equality exist when everyone is rewarded the same, or does it stifle individual motivation and creativity?

Would you feel more connected to your community if there was a guarantee that no one would go hungry or be without a home?
@9J3GTJ64mos4MO
no, people should be allowed to live their life as they see fit as long as they do not intrude on others specific rights, and public rules of decency when in public
@ISIDEWITH3mos3MO
Do you think a society could function well with a cap on the maximum income or wealth individuals can earn, and what would that look like?
@9JQ3XL23mos3MO
No, it would be unfair and give residents a reason to move.
