Do you think the response of the Polish society and government to the coronavirus epidemic has been appropriate?

I think that the response of the Polish government to the coronavirus epidemic is definitely appropriate. They reacted to the situation very quickly. By closing schools, cancelling all flights - so basically closing the borders they stopped the virus from spreading on a big scale. Of course some people are unsatisfied and say things like: "by locking us, we can infect our family". But we have to think responsibly! Even if they hadn't locked us in our houses and someone had coronavirus he would  have infected his family sooner or later, but not the whole school for example! And if we are talking about response of Polish society, I think it depends on the place or group of people we are talking about. For example, in my little town people do follow the rules - maximum 2 people outside and only with dogs or groceries. But I know that in bigger towns like Warsaw people don't follow the rules.

Is the impact of globalization on our life positive or negative?

I think that the answer to this question isn't so obvious at first, but after thinking for a while I think that it had a positive impact. Despite the fact that globalization was accompianed with extinction of many animal and plant species, diseases like: measles or smallpox, which led to deaths of a large number of natives, it also brought to us so many useful things, f.ex. corn, potatoes, sugar (so mainly food), new technologies and cultures.

Is lying morally wrong?

I think that the answer to this question is obvious - lying is totally morally wrong. Sometimes we just tell a lie so we don't hurt the feelings of the person we are talking to, and think "That's OK! At least she won't be sad!", but actually after some time this lying becomes a routine. It starts to be a part of your mindset, you can't recognize what is true or not. Moreover our lying can be harmful to a person, which we tried to help by telling lies. You' ll keep saying that somebody's hairstyle is great, instead of telling the truth that it's horrible, and this poor person won't have a clue that she looks like a walking mushroom.
