I just read Flannery O Connor’s Everything That Rises Must Converge and came to this video for better understanding of what I just finished. This is the most comprehensive video on gothic literature I’ve ever seen.
You definitely capture postmodernism well but man, what a destructive ideology it is... We need a balance between objectivity and subjectivity. Encouraging clients to content between these two is how we overcome personal delusion and find the truth, even if it is hard to bear. Mental health is about finding ways to overcome hardships in spite of their difficulty, not simply coming up with a new 'story' to change what is. Our subjective experience is determined by our relationship to reality, not reality itself. Also if there is no objective hierarchy of value, how can one even identify as mentally ill? We only know that something is off by comparison. And in this case, the comparison is mental wellbeing. Most people can agree what that looks like, i.e the absence of depression etc. Instead, post modernism suggest that mental health is not about the elimination of symptom, but instead, it is defined by however the individual person defines wellness...
"a lot of self pity" "Being the center of attention of a team of highly trained and skilled individuals can be reward in itself" is one of the most condensending and nasty things I've heard about people with illness anxiety disorder, which is a extremely stressful and scary diagnosis. They are talking about it like it is some sort of factitious disorder. Fxking vile to listen to
Women who do porn are also exhibitionist. It’s curious that they have been excluded from the definition. It’s clear to me that the “definition” needs to be reexamined.

As stated in the video for something to be considered paraphilic disorder it must be dangerous and damaging for the victim and or paraphiliac themselves; or it should cause mental distress to the person experiencing it. If you are asking about homosexuals the thing is that they are attracted to mature phenotypicly standard people of the same sex. Homosexuals can and do engage in long term relationships with people who are more or less their equals. On the another side a child is a temporary stadium of human development, precisely characterized by the absence of sexual maturity. Being a child unlike being a man or a woman is not an integral property of a person but a stage of its development. Pathology of pdfillic desire originates from the the fact that persons who are objects of a desire are not capable to be reciprocal participants- they don’t know, understand, are not developed biologically and mentally, they can’t meaningfully partake, this damages them and are easily exploited. Non stated above is categorically true for homosexual desire.
@@stem_at4637 - That’s simp,y not true about homosexuality as 98% of all the ‘priests” who molested young boys in the Catholic Church were homosexual men. The heterosexual priest did not participate in any of this type of behavior. However, there were a few paedophiles that molested young girls but, their percentages were no different than those found in the general population. My experience with homosexual men is that they are always looking to take sexual liberties if they can get away with it and age is not a bother. They are not necessarily looking for young children but, young adolescent boys are not off their menu as long as they don’t get caught. In other words, they are always on the prowl. The only thing keeping the pathology of homosexuality from molesting young boys and girls is the threat of violence. If this isn’t true then why do you see all over the country homosexuals aggressively trying to normalize their disorder and forcing it on children?
I think I definitely have sexual masochistic and sexual sadistic disorder. I always get turned on at the thought of being tortured. I always get turned on when people (typically women) are gagged, bound, restrained, and tortured in some way on television or movies. Extra points if it’s a woman doing it to another woman. Or a man being tied up by a woman. I also definitely have fetishistic disorder. Around boots, leather pants/leggings, jackets, belts, etc around women. Sometimes, this even combines with sadistic or masochistic tendencies around being tortured by a woman wearing these things or all of these things, or tying up a woman wearing this stuff. As you can probably tell, I have had this for a while. Sometimes it can be fun. Sometimes it can be exhausting, embarrassing, and frustrating.
Rachelle, Speaking of the poor, how is it that people work full-time jobs that require academic degrees,(Bachelor's, Master's, and even Doctoral degrees) and still struggle to take care of their needs? Worse yet, having academic degrees and experience can render one "overqualified" for a position and thus unable to work.
Religious beliefs are aligned with our cultural value. When you speak of cultural expectations - I think you are referring to cultural beliefs or cultural assumptions - but it is not clear which one.
Attitudes and beliefs are different levels of culture than values. Actions and interactions are behaviors. Please do bring in and reference the formal frameworks so better can understand. Thank you!
Some of this is correct, but some of the interpretations are not quite professional. This is ok for a high school level introduction but for anything beyond that it would be good to do a bit more background reading of Edgar Schein, Richard Lewis, Dennison or Hofstede. It helps to break out all five levels of culture so listeners can better understand how you are discussion relationships. It was only starting in the 1980s that "rich" people and "poor" people became so segregated in social activities. In most midwestern US towns and cities churches were based on cultures and neighborhoods - not wealth or status. Small town Ohio had high political status and wealthy people attending the Episcopalian or Catholic church with shop owners, laborers and tradesman. This is because a "new wealth" culture was heavily promoted and marketed curing the Reagan years. And, on the subject of artifacts - perhaps you might also explore myths. Our society today uses cultural myths to artificially create subcultures.
This video lecture is the antithesis of critical thinking and exactly how the Dunning Kruger effect spreads. People may leave this lecture believing that they have learnt something to share. Though there are many examples of logical fallacies in the lecture I will list two that make the presentation fall apart. 1. Telling people that the can choose between arguments propsed by 2 eminent scientists on the issue climate change...this is nonsense. At best they can BELIEVE either but unless they are willing to dedicate YEARS of scholarship, they by reading 1 or 2 articles will NOT be in a position to even decipher the gentlemen's position. 2. The issue of breastfeeding whether a woman has a physical problem or not is not imo the point. The point should be can you or do you have the right to call someone a bad or good mother??? based on one perceived in your own opinion failing YOUR OWN BIAS was shining like a torch 🔦 innumerable factors are at play in this propsed scenario. No no just for the dangerous thinking in this lecture (in it's simplicity ) I had to post my thoughts and hope that people really think about what is being said here.
Chinese Phillipines sex trafficking and their tourism and generational traumas spread with immigration and affects those not ethnically affiliated. and their ideas of ranking and projection of sexual frustrations into market form
The slide entitled "Calvinism" is incorrect. It states, "Weber asserted that certain behaviors became indicators of one's eternal fate." This is incorrect--Weber did not influence America's early Calvinism. Weber wrote in the early 1900s--as a sociologist, not as a theologian. Calvin wrote in the 16th century. Calvin's influence began in the U.S. during the colonial period, considerably before Weber.
