The Philosophy of Consumerism: Aristippus, Aristotle, & Karl Marx
- Consumerism is about constantly wanting and buying more things, based on the belief that it will bring happiness.
- This way of thinking affects both individuals and society by shaping our values, economy, and how we define happiness.
- My research explores different philosophies—like hedonism, Aristotle’s ideas about a good life, and Karl Marx’s views on goods and alienation, questioning if consuming more really makes us happy.
AI in Mental Health, Support not Substitution
- AI therapy apps like Wysa and Woebot make mental health care more affordable and accessible, especially for people who face barriers like cost, stigma, or distance, but they can't replace human therapists because they lack emotional depth and personalized support.
- AI raises serious ethical concerns such as bias, privacy risks, and cultural insensitivity, which could lead to harm or mistrust. Therefore, human oversight is needed to ensure safe and fair treatment.
- While AI can help expand mental health care, only human therapists can build trust, adapt to complex emotional needs, and offer genuine empathy—so AI should support, not replace, human professionals.
Americanization influenced the evolution of traditional Hmong marriage
- Traditional Hmong Marriage Rituals: Hmong marriages involve complex rituals, where the bride and groom's families and clans play a key role. Gender roles and religious beliefs influence the ceremony.
- Political and Cultural Significance: Marriage rituals also serve to maintain respect and alliances between clans, with actions like the meal during the bride's journey symbolizing these ties.
- Modernization and Adaptation: In the U.S., Hmong marriages blend traditional customs with American practices, shifting from spiritual rituals to more civil and legal ceremonies.
