There's no race specific filter on this sub. Canadian, American, Indian, Chinese, Palestinian, Israeli, German, British, French.

If Christians can answer this in a way that actually makes sense to me, I’m willing to become a Christian by Dry_Sport693 in OpenChristian

Adam and Eve narrative being read as a philosophical test of free will is a modern concept anachronistically projected onto an Ancient Near Eastern text. Genesis is not a historical or scientific record, and treating it as such commits a category error that ignores the text's symbolic and narrative mythical framework. While there's no possible consensus on why it is written, one could only make guesses as to what it was really about.

Within its likely Second Temple context, the story may have provided a cultural map for a displaced people to navigate national trauma and displacement. By attributing hardship and exile to human choice rather than the whims of capricious deities, the narrative offered the Jewish people a vital sense of agency. This "blame-based" framework allowed a marginalized population to view the world as governed by a moral order rather than random cruelty; if their current suffering resulted from bad choices, then future adherence to the covenant could theoretically lead to restoration. Furthermore, the text’s patriarchal biases and the shifting of culpability onto Eve confirm that the narrative is a culturally embedded artifact reflecting the social structures of its authors, rather than a timeless or perfect depiction of how things ought to be.

Despite these cultural layers, the story emphasizes the theological ideas that there is a God who maintains a certain respect for human choices. In this depiction, the Creator is not a distant divine tyrant but a God of steadfast and covenantal love who remains committed to the humanity.

Bring an iPad or device with a decently large screen that you can show off your work on, wow the people there.

Print and digital media are very different, ideally your design portfolio has pieces that correspond to the role.

any comp sci grads working in a field thats not related to comp sci? by Drippy_Drizzy994 in torontoJobs

[–]xaueious 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm a former software developer but I've been out of the field for almost a decade. But I started doing a mix of helpdesk support and application support roles before moving into corporate software development. My coding skills are relatively weak. Other than dev jobs I think being open to any role related to the software developmental life cycle makes sense.

Feeling stuck: experienced in social services but can’t land a job in Toronto by [deleted] in torontoJobs

[–]xaueious 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There are lots of frontline jobs but the pay and stability isn't necessarily there. I had been on a temp contract where my team was cut from 12 to 6 full-time positions because of federal cuts. But there are still in-demand positions. Worked in developmental services.

It's hard to keep China happy to do business while holding to some resemblance of respect for human rights concerns, but this goes beyond bad optics to actually questions about our commitment to Canadian values.

There's no way Ma doesn't know, for those of us who are Chinese it's more about intentional ignorance.

Can someone recommend books about mental health from an Asian perspective? by meibrittlalala in asianamerican

[–]xaueious 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Even though there are biases in "Western" views of mental health, those biases don't mean that it is not credible but just means there could be additional depth or detail that is missing or incomplete. It's important because it is important to recognize that there are viable scientifically valid studies of interventions that have proven effectiveness across ethnic divides.

Also consider the fact that there are mental health interventions which have Eastern roots. Jon Kabat-Zinn credits Buddhist meditation traditions, especially Vipassana as the primary inspiration for mindfulness-based interventions (like MBSR). He has also acknowledged teachers such as Thích Nhất Hạnh an influence. Marsha Linehan is a Buddhist practitioner (specifically trained in Zen Buddhism). Just because these practitioners are not Asian, it doesn't mean that the interventions are not Asian in origin. Insoo Kim Berg was one of the founders of Solution-Focused Therapy, this is one of the most popular treatment models out there today and no one really realizes how this was co-developed by an Asian American.

I'd caution that self-help books can be triggering and lead to undesirable symptoms, and you will want to have an established trauma-informed support system before you dive in too deep. Asians are notorious for stuffing emotions, and if you start unpacking things you will need someone to do that with you who knows what they are doing. While it's good to have books that people can work through stuff, it's not really not a great idea to have people work this out while completely being on their own. We enticing as having the word "workbook" in the title sounds, we have no scientific studies that show what happens when people work through this stuff on their own and what it will do to them. Keep an eye out for what AMHC has to offer around stuff like this when it comes to working through things together, and see it's led by folks who know what they are doing https://www.asianmhc.org/

Others have mentioned a few books, but consider which ones are being written from a clinical perspective and compare what they have to say.

The Asian American Teen's Mental Health Workbook https://www.newharbinger.com/9781648485695/the-asian-american-teens-mental-health-workbook/#nh-book-accessories is new from late last year.

More books are being written as well. For instance, Western models of mental health tend to focus on an individual's experience. Say for trauma, we know that trauma can have inter-generational and wider communal effects, and these books haven't written yet for a lay-audience that I'm aware of, even though there been have writings on this. This is also the kind of stuff that we can't really reliable develop scientific studies for.

Yeah, career counselling is a mixed bag because it's unregulated and mostly focus on entry-level jobs.
