For the purpose of this debate, 'Gen Z style' refers to a disposition wherein an individual displays a set of characteristics that go against conventional social norms and communitarian values.

'Short squeeze' occurs when a security has a significant amount of short sellers, meaning lots of investors are betting on its price falling. When investors see the price going up, they start to purchase back the stocks, which makes the price jump higher unexpectedly. An institutional investor trades large volumes of securities on behalf of an individual or shareholder. A retail investor is an individual who invests their own capital, typically at lower frequencies and volumes.

The European Union (EU) adopted the 'Dublin Regulation' for handling irregular immigrants (e.g., immigrants entering a country through an informal process, including but not limited to asylum seekers). It stipulates that the countries where the immigrants arrive should handle the logistics, such as examining asylum claims and providing temporary shelters. This led to certain countries proximate to regions with a high population outflux bearing a disproportionately high burden, including Greece, Italy, and Malta (also known as 'front-line countries').

To remedy this, the EU is discussing the 'Mandatory Solidarity' mechanism, which relocates irregular immigrants from front-line countries to other EU countries and imposes financial penalties should countries reject the entry of immigrants. This measure is still being negotiated in the European Parliament and is yet to be ratified.

'Medical negligence' refers to the failure of a carer to provide a standard level of care, resulting in harm or injury to a patient. This could include forgetting to administer medication, choosing a different treatment plan than what was prescribed, or breaching duty of care.

'Resume padding' of charity refers to the strategic involvement of individuals, particularly students, in charitable activities with the primary goal of enhancing their resumes rather than a genuine desire to contribute to the cause.
