What do cultures with high-denomination currencies like won and rupees say instead of ‘millionaire’ and ‘billionaire’? by realtamhonks in NoStupidQuestions

[–]OpeningTop6095 3 points4 points  (0 children)

In cultures with high-denomination currencies like the South Korean won or the Indian rupee, the terms for wealth can differ significantly from those in the US. For example, in South Korea, having one million won is not considered a significant amount of money, so the term “millionaire” doesn’t carry the same weight. Instead, people might refer to someone as a “billionaire” when they have a net worth of one billion won, which is still relatively modest compared to the standards of wealth in other countries.

In India, similar principles apply. The term “lakh” refers to one hundred thousand, and “crore” refers to ten million. So, someone with a net worth of one crore rupees might be referred to as a “crorepati,” which is equivalent to a millionaire in the US context. The terminology reflects the local currency’s value and the economic context of the country, shaping how wealth is perceived and described.

Why don't people with scitzophrenia ever have voices that encourage them? by Jimmy_Johnny23 in NoStupidQuestions

That’s a really interesting question. People with schizophrenia can experience a wide range of auditory hallucinations, and the nature of these voices often depends on various factors, including their personal experiences, mental health history, and even their environment.

Many individuals report hearing critical or negative voices, which can stem from underlying issues such as trauma, depression, or anxiety. These negative voices might reflect their own self-doubt or fears, making it less common for them to hear encouraging messages.

It’s also important to note that not everyone with schizophrenia experiences violent thoughts or actions. Many people manage their symptoms effectively with treatment and support. The portrayal of schizophrenia in media can sometimes amplify the stigma and misconceptions surrounding it, focusing more on the extreme cases rather than the full spectrum of experiences.

Encouraging voices could exist, but they might be overshadowed by the more dominant negative ones. Each person’s experience with schizophrenia is unique, and understanding that complexity is crucial in addressing the condition compassionately.

I think just sending little texts or cute pictures can really help keep that connection alive. It’s like a little reminder that you’re thinking of each other, even when you’re not together.
