This separates vulnerable people from the ideological ‘problem’ and tackles criminality/risk at the root. However, a solid and sustained strategy is needed now. |

the Environment › Environmental Regulation
8>8 Personal answerNo, just enforce existing regulations |

Social › Hate Speech
8>8 Personal answerEngage broad academic expertise as a matter of informing policy; hate speech needs to be examined and restricted on the basis of the specific harm it does to wider society (such as inciting violence and propagating organised hate communities such as WhitePride and Incel.com). Response needs to be proportional to context; specific support and protections ought to be extended to those persons or groups who receive harassment and bullying through targeted hate; specifically from those who have actively encouraged and propagated the hate and not from merely an angry drunk bystander or an immature individual with an online persona who will likely cringe at themselves five years later. Since hate speech is a unique form of ‘criminality’ (since it is often clearly motivated the result of misunderstanding which is invested in a sense of social identity) , identification, intervention and when necessary - sentencing, needs to focus on rehabilitation and wider social awareness to prevent reoffending. |

Social › Women in Combat
8>8 Personal answerModern warfare is not fought with a sword and shield and the modern warfighter engages in conflict through strategy, tactical protocols and gear enhancement which is designed to ensure a specific theater/combat domain advantage. Once social prejudice is eliminated and when the warfighter is placed in a role and with a complimentary team suitable for his/her/their distinct abilities, talents and skills, problems like sexual assault, machoism and very specific fitness (as distinct from health), disappears. The future of modern warfare will be determined by fine tolerances, situational awareness, unmanned delivery systems and technologically enhanced performance. The presence of diverse frontline combatants results in the direct advancement of capability, adaptability and strategic advantage. |
