Well culture by geography is more complex. For example, I am African-American and I identify with African-American culture (that is, culture that rela...

Right. In my previous example, I don't think first generation Qatari immigrants would feel and act American, but I think as children are raised in Ame...
March 26, 2019 at 10:52
Maybe not initially but it also depends how long you've resided in the country. I think duration and time would eventually allow someone to feel a par...
March 26, 2019 at 09:48
Perhaps. But it may not always be so, but I guess it depends on the individual/family. I would suppose a family from Qatar who moves to Brooklyn New Y...

Perhaps it could also mean one who resonates with the collective culture that is designated to the people who live in a geographical location.
March 26, 2019 at 09:13
You definitely sound like someone who had a bad experience,.
March 26, 2019 at 08:20
Again, the kneejerk reaction is not to assess someone and medicate them immediately, but more importantly why would you assume someone who has psychia...
March 26, 2019 at 08:19
You're using a play on words and hypotheticals here because this would be utterly ridiculous. If you expect a serious answer can you use a less ridicu...
March 26, 2019 at 08:09
No it doesn't. This is not how assessments work. We take into account all external as well as internal factors that could contribute to a persons dysf...

You made an assumption upon the profession of psychiatry. To think this is a clever discussion by using anecdotes and philosophical jargon and word pl...
March 25, 2019 at 13:40
Well yes this is called an assessment, but I'm referring to actually giving credence to auditory/visual hallucinations. Exactly.
March 25, 2019 at 13:38
Huh? Where did I display hubris? I'm a clinician and this is my professional job. Do you even know what maladaptive means? "Maladaptive daydreaming is...

But how is it vain to compete? There are plenty of bodybuilders who do the sport because they love to get in and out of shape for competitions.
March 24, 2019 at 12:16
hmm interesting...I'm curious to know where you got this information from if you could provide a link please thank you. If you say so. This made absol...
March 24, 2019 at 12:12
Interesting. Well, its okay at least they are getting their thoughts out as opposed to doing something violent and destructive. I appreciate this over...

I do have my doctorate in Clinical psychology but I'm currently not licensed by my state therefore I do not practice. I'm currently a social worker (L...
March 24, 2019 at 10:24
Wrong. Psychiatry/Psychology rest on the foundation of behaviors that are adaptive and maladaptive which the latter and the behaviors surrounding it, ...
March 24, 2019 at 10:14
Possibly, but let me ask do you plan to compete? If you're just being a casual bodybuilder you would be helping yourself by spending less on Testoster...
March 24, 2019 at 04:47
As a person that professionally works in the psychiatric field, I have to disagree. I don't like to use the phrase of "telling people what to do." rat...

Damn sushi bravo
March 23, 2019 at 16:56
You asked, "why aren't there many female thinkers today?" I supplied you with a list. Again, I supplied you with a list. I mean "why aren't there many...
March 23, 2019 at 13:39
Actually, I had no problem with the subject, just wanted clear direction as to exactly what we are discussing. I guess my frustration was more so conf...
March 23, 2019 at 13:33
The one thing you said right.
March 23, 2019 at 13:31
Well have tangential thoughts are which are consistent with a psychological imbalance a la "thought disorders are considered "disturbed" according to ...
March 23, 2019 at 12:22
Perhaps there is a natural inclination to lead if there is a stagnant group with no direction. Of course nobody is born a leader but perhaps there is ...

A List of female thinkers from A to Z https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_women_philosophers
March 22, 2019 at 21:34
I don't think having an interest in philosophy is the issue, but the issue could arise and inevitably be described by a professional as several things...
March 22, 2019 at 21:30
When there is an example of consistency in inconsistent thought as seen in a tangent. Meaning, someone always writing stuff but it seems to be all ove...

Define toxic?
March 22, 2019 at 09:19
Same as @Baden and @Hanover
March 22, 2019 at 08:43
Justifiable in what sense, that there aren't many female thinkers? There are plenty of female thinkers! All you have to do is look at past and present...
March 22, 2019 at 08:32
You started off wrong already Again you're starting off wrong making false equivalencies per your title. Who is the politically correct? Is this an et...

hahahahaha
March 22, 2019 at 07:36
Thank you! I've been asking him that!
March 22, 2019 at 07:34
Very good synopsis of the early humans...It was a good read
March 22, 2019 at 07:16
Wait, what? They did what?
March 22, 2019 at 07:07
I don't think the OP was well explained at least to me...Instead of all this unnecessary jargon why can't people come out and just say "I think the al...
March 21, 2019 at 10:03
It's not that, it is just that you're not making any sense. If I'm giving an overview of something it is meant to give you a wider perspective of the ...
March 21, 2019 at 10:02
To help the thread I suggest looking at the psychological research concerning the alt-right. To help I nominate Vox which wrote an article on the rese...
March 21, 2019 at 09:52
I think you're either deficient in reading ability or reading what you want to read. I'd like to think the latter. Racism, and all that entails under ...
March 21, 2019 at 09:46
I've listed some current issues I mean, you just don't like the answers. Again, my opinions on the historical relevance was to answer in overview, the...

Discrimination is changeable, this is why the civil rights movement prevailed. I am so glad you're not a policymaker.
March 21, 2019 at 09:38
Because the alt-right has been made popular by the 2016 U.S. presidency. We only know about the alt-right through the actions here. Sure there are neo...
March 21, 2019 at 09:36
Are you familiar with Richard Spencer? Have you listened to him speak? He most certainly proclaims the opposite. As far as I'm concerned there is too ...
March 21, 2019 at 08:41
Actually my attempt was to answer your inquiry regarding the supposed double standard between the expressions of cultural pride by alt-right versus th...
March 21, 2019 at 06:30
But that is the problem because the alt-right although not specified as a hate group, its members espouse more than simple cultural pride rhetoric. If...
March 21, 2019 at 06:06
This is crucial in getting rid of social issues.
March 21, 2019 at 00:09
If that is the case, maybe you should've done more research in what the group stands for prior to making a thread about them. That's the problem there...
March 21, 2019 at 00:07
Right
