For Poland: Society For your primary culture, city, or country. 1. What are the social views on slavery? * No slavery ;) 2. What are the social views on magic or science? * Harry Potter is a damned book to some and the parliament had lately a discussion if Darvin's theory was right, because according to them was not.
3. What are the social views on sexual behavior, relationships, marriage, same sex partners? * In many families sex is a forbidden subject, everybody should get married, sex after marriage, same sex partners ok but as long as they don't show up too much with it and children don't see. Of course for the young generation from the big cities it's different, but also when I look for example at my roomie... hmm great student and such, but so backwarded mentally, horrible (well her choices, I'm not like that though and neither is my character).
4. What are the social views on the treatment of children? On having or preventing conception? * Children should be raised up well, but not always are, parents usually don't know how to talk to children who are so different generation... not only because of the normal generation exchange, but also because of the change of political system after 1989. Contraception is accepted, though you have to be aware of the fact that many couples use natural methods, because they think it's more Catholic.
5. Are there defined gender roles or a gender status? * The standard is that the man is the head of the family, but the practical situation is that whoever can find the job, works (and who can't, goes to England :p). Women are treated very well here, our women are much more feminine comparing to the western European ones IMO, they don't mind cooking, washing, cleaning... in the new kind of couples the duties are spreaded equally, while in the traditional ones the woman takes them, but doesn't complain at it even if she doesn't like it.
6. Is there a class system? Or caste system? * No.
7. How are the non dominant race, species or minorities viewed and treated? * Minorities are treated well here, Poland has been for centuries a multinational country famous of tolerance, and even though these days because of the political issues not really dependent on us minorities are very small in amount, they can't complain. We also have students from different countries and despite pracically every of them heard something racist (well, football scum tribe is everywhere) they usually talk about PL in superlatives.
