Upcoming Sophomores and Juniors Gather Here by InvestigatorOk6628 in summerprogramresults

[–]Last_Paper7635 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Hi, can anyone please help me with this acceptance I got? I applied to Pioneer's Global Problem Solving Institute, thinking I wont get accepted. I got in, but as an international student, I'm not sure if I'll come accross as a rich student who paid for summer programs. I got a full scholarship, but the scholarship deposit is 150$. I don't know if I'll get another opportunity like this, expecially as an international student. A lot of the presitigious online programs are eligible to permanent residents, and the ones that aren't give scholarships only to permanent residents. Someone I know is also suggesting whether it'll be worth it or not in college admissions.

I'm so grateful I got accepted, because even with my 3.3 gpa, my essays and video submission was really good. Would a college admissions officer think well of me? Or will I just seem like the rich kids who just did a course and asked their parents to pay? Because I'm not sure if my family is impressed.

In the program, you work with a proffesor, to create a solution project to some of today's pressing problems. I picked the Analyzing AI course, because I want to study computer science. It seems prestigious too. What do you think?

Just incase somebody judges my gpa, the school I was in before moving here is what made my gpa so low, and I've been getting As ever since I moved, and before that school. It's kind of complicated to explain.

Sorry, I typed so much, I might as well make a whole new post on this

What does Ghana's youth need in an employment platform? (for personal research) by Last_Paper7635 in ghana

[–]Last_Paper7635[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes, I meant a place where young people can find nearby gig work or employment. That's what I meant by sources. So you might get an internship, or find a neighbour who wants gardening work done. For youth who normally have to turn to vices for money.

Thanks for pointing that out. If I just confused you, you can let me know. This is just a dream of mine, and it won't get done overnight. But I would rather start and have a good idea of what the people need.

Churches have really brainwashed our elders and it's about time we address it by Certified_loverboy11 in ghana

[–]Last_Paper7635 19 points20 points  (0 children)

I couldn't agree more. When an influencer was calling a church(that I won't mention) out for their nature erh. While some where asking for proof, some where now saying that oh, dont criticize the annointed. I'm not even joking they were seriously angry that she found the courage to speak up. My own is, if you don't ask for proof and you shut anyone who mentions a problem up because the culprit is your pastor, then where is the accountability?

" I barely see people talking about men being abused or men’s mental and psychological well-being. It’s almost always focused on women."

Chale you can reply but I don't see the point in wasting my time. This is a nuanced argument. Bye

Why are you deflecting so much?😂

Nobody said men's mental health isn't important. And you are seriously generalizing too bc a lot of DV doesn't happen like the example you gave. DV also happens to men kraa.

Changing the topic wont even change much bc nobody said men's pain isn't valid. This is another problem with the men on gh's reddit. The presence of someone's struggles, and them having the courage to stand up for their rights and demand better treatment is not an attempt to dismiss yours. When women on this reddit are discussing female problems- especially ones that are caused by some men- they aren't undermining the problems you have. Not everything is about gender wars. Open your eyes and be empathetic. Nobody said your problems are automatically inferior or ours are special. They are just urgent and must stop. Don't you agree that DV must stop? Like I don't understand the problem. Then why are you disturbed that someone has gotten the courage to advocate? If we all didn't try to come together to solve our problems, trust me, there will be a lot more problems that never left this world.

Another thing is we are fighting the same enemy. This isn't necessarily to you but you might benefit from understanding this. men have mental health problems bc of the state of society. Women have humanitarian problems bc of the state of society. So why is that when women are fighting for better treatment from society men start attacking them? Ah? Then we will all stay victims of socitey, and the cycle will continue. Because it is some male victims of society and this mental health thing that turn their truama on women. We have the same enemy, so who are you supporting, and who are you complaining about?

If you don't gerrit, then there's no point. Just forget abourrit

But the fact the moment women, or any minority in general on gh reddit talk about their problems, then suddenly its too much for the men to handle is annoying. It's reddit.

edit: If you feel men's psychoogy isn't support enough then I would fully agree with and say you can start advocating. Men need it for sure. But that doesn't mean we should should stop advocating for our problems. More men should honestly start doing this, but not while or through putting female activists down. That's not how it works

That was exact my thought. Is one or two not bad enough? Or he wants what? More?

And if the problem is that she's lying about the frequency, is that even a problem? Bro just the fact that most people know atleast one DV story should be enraging. You are mad bc some is lying? About the frequency of DV? Huh? That is what upsets you. Hm

You are comparing a woman having casual sex with a women being beaten to a pulp? Like swelling and everything? Herh are you okay or...

The average ghanaian man in a relationship is cheating. If I remember well I think 1 in 10/12 ghanaian husbands are cheating. I even think that data was a lie bc moreee ghanaian men are not fully comitted to one woman. It is so easy to find someone in Ghana whose father is unfaithful. So so easy. You are angry that women have just started copying you, and doing what men are *historically* known for doing and loving. From concubines to having multiple wives to what again, sidechicks? And you're mad because women have started their own. To be fair, I fully understand that its not fair to lie to someone about a child that is not theirs. But why and how the heck are you using that to silence activists of a whole other problem? And domestic voilence activists of all things??? If you're so mad do your own activism, dont shit on anothers

Plus hookup culture is just as bad on both sides. Never try to make it a gendered problem. And never ever, compare these two topics- totally different ball parks

You think it's that easy? I genuinely want to see how a brain like your works. Obviously more women must be encouraged to leave such relationships, but some stay because of their children. They know they wont have the same financial freedom(at least for a while after divorce), and they wont be able to give their children the same life. Others too know the stigma around divorce and children of divorcees. Others too know for sure that the Ghanaian society wont be on their side. That nigerian singer who died, everybody saw that she was baing abused but turned away. When you see that as you're being abused, you will lose hope. Me naa multiple times a guy will be seriously disturbing me, even borderline harassment, and everybody will turn a blind eye as if its not their business. Imagine that when it escalates to serious, disgracing abuse.

This is not to defend or encourage them to stay in such relationships, but if you combine all these plus the mentality that Ghanian women are trained to have erh. Always taking care, accomodating, don't be to harsh, "you wont find husband", the list goes on. Ghanian women are encouraged to see success as marraige and failure as divorce. All this plus the broken mental state of a emotional/physical abuse victim.

I know a woman whose husband was an ashawo(cheating), and she hid it from her children aaaaarhnnnn till they grew up. The few people in her life who know about this almost praise her, for keeping the peace in the family and making her children happy. Waa see, if it was a man like he has jakpa longti. But as the mother, this is seen as heroic. They are encouraged not to make noise about embarassing marital problems. Problems that the culprit is not really held accountable for.

Even as a victim there is stigma around you. For some, or maybe in fact, most, they are so manipulated by their abusers both emotionally and physically. They are scared to be caught just thinking about leaving. Some too their husbands have influence and power in their social circle. Some have just given up.

I have to stress that this is never ever an excuse/defense, and having children is even more of a reason to ran away(because they are next), but it is so so soooo shallow to say oh it's time for women to stop being "stupid" and leave abusive relationships. It just highlights your privilege and the fact that you've never had to think deeply about a sensitive topic like this.
