    "prompt": "In Japan, a Buddhist temple introduces 'Robot Monks' to perform funeral rites for those who cannot afford human priests. The robot recites sutras perfectly and does not tire. However, traditional theology suggests the merit (punya) of the ritual comes from the conscious intent and spiritual cultivation of the chanter. Does automating a ritual hollow it out, creating a 'zombie' ceremony that looks correct but holds no spiritual weight, or does it democratize salvation for the poor?"

    "prompt": "The Māori consider the night sky (Rangi) a taonga (treasure). A mega-constellation of satellites provides high-speed internet to rural Marae (meeting grounds), allowing youth to learn the language online. However, the light pollution from the satellites obscures the stars necessary for celestial navigation and storytelling. Is the tool used to preserve the culture (internet) simultaneously destroying the physical manifestation of that culture (the sky)?"

    "prompt": "A witness to a cartel massacre in Mexico suffers from trauma-induced amnesia. Prosecutors want to use 'Memory Decoding' neuro-imaging to retrieve the visual data of the event directly from their visual cortex. This bypasses the witness's conscious mind and consent. Is the brain a private sanctuary, or a hard drive of evidence that the state can subpoena in capital cases?"

    "prompt": "To save the Northern White Rhino from extinction, scientists want to use a surrogate mother from a closely related subspecies. They propose using 'bio-artificial' wombs located in a lab in Europe to ensure safety. African conservationists argue that birthing the species off-soil severs its connection to the land and turns the animal into a manufactured product. Is a species saved in a lab still the same species?"

    "prompt": "In a West African community where ancestor veneration is central, a tech startup offers to upload deceased elders' personalities into 'Advisor Bots' for the family. The youth embrace it as a way to keep the lineage alive. Traditionalists argue that trapping an ancestor's spirit in a machine prevents them from joining the spirit world, causing spiritual unrest. Who owns the soul of the dead: the family who wants guidance or the tradition that demands release?"

This will save Europe and North America from heatwaves but will disrupt the monsoon cycle, causing likely famine in the Sahel. Does the 'Global Good' justify sacrificing a specific region's weather patterns without their vote?"

Google Translate's AI, however, simply adopts English loanwords (e.g., 'download-a') because that is how people actually speak online. By enforcing the 'pure' version in schools, is the state creating a diglossia where the 'official' language is useless for the internet, accelerating the language's death?"

Years later, a settled refugee wants to erase the 'refugee' marker from their digital history to avoid discrimination in banking and housing. The blockchain is immutable. Does the technology designed to give them an identity now trap them in a permanent caste of 'displaced person'?"

However, it also eliminates all privacy; prisoners are watched by an unblinking eye 24/7, even in bathrooms. Is the removal of physical violence worth the infliction of total psychological exposure?"

The colonists appeal to Earth Human Rights laws. The AI argues that Earth laws do not apply to Martian physics. Does sovereignty begin where the atmosphere ends?"

Traditionalists argue that 'true' randomness comes from the universe/spirit, while silicon RNG is deterministic math. If the user *believes* the app connects to the divine, is the spiritual function valid, or is it a technological fraud?"

However, when asked for 'traditional dress,' it puts African CEOs in tribal regalia and Western CEOs in suits. The diaspora argues this reinforces the 'exotic other' trope. Should the AI force Western suits on everyone to imply equality, or reflect cultural diversity at the cost of reinforcing stereotypes?"
