The Role of Social Class and Privilege
"Do those born into privilege have a moral obligation to use their advantages to help those less fortunate, or is it primarily the responsibility of individuals to improve their own circumstances?"

"Is it more important to preserve cherished traditions, even if they hinder progress, or to embrace innovation, even if it means sacrificing aspects of one's cultural identity?"
The Nature of True Healing
"Is it possible to truly heal from deep emotional wounds through medical intervention alone, or does it require a more holistic approach that addresses the emotional and spiritual dimensions of suffering?"
Ambition vs. Family Duty
"Is it more virtuous to prioritize family responsibilities, even if it means sacrificing personal ambitions, or is it justifiable to pursue one's own goals, even if it comes at the expense of familial expectations?"
