Halcyon Identifies: Addiction

Are the reward pathways of our brain easily hijacked by modern stimuli, leading us to become addicted to "consumptive behaviours"?

Addiction/Attention - many people now find it genuinely hard to control and limit the time they spend on the internet, and show signs not just of distraction but of real addiction.

Addiction - should taking drugs to enhance sports performance be allowed?
Choices - blink or think - what's the best way for making decisions?
Freedom - are governments around the world becoming more sophisticated in using the internet to how restrict their citizens' freedom?
Globalisation: does globalisation entrench gender inequality, particularly in Africa?
Slowness - is the recent vogue for slow food, slow travel, slow shopping and slow cities becoming counterproductive?
