Quote: Savneet Talwar, a faculty member with the school’s art therapy and counseling program, assigned the case study in April to a class on the cultural dimensions of therapy. The assignment asked students to develop an ethical treatment plan for a hypothetical queer, Muslim woman living in the US.

The language of the assignment read: “While she was not particularly politically active in her home country, protests in support of Palestine resonated with her on a personal level. She felt deeply affected by the violence against Palestinian civilians and was critical of the home government’s limited response.”

Yeah, that’s a great way to make an ethical treatment plan: Get mad the person exists (even hypothetically).

Would the same student have an issue if the framing was different? If not, then this isn’t arguable on ethical grounds, right?

Also, it’s a friggin hypothetical! The made-up character is upset there’s violence from her perspective. Make that part of your treatment plan if you feel that way about it, don’t just complain.

I feel like cooking involves heat that induces some change in the substance (like melting cheese in a grilled cheese), but I’m not going to tell anyone making me food that they’re wrong!

I’m not a member of this community, but it did show up on my “home feed”. While I knew the gist of your comment, it’s good to have a refresher, plus anyone that doesn’t know would be well served by reading it. Thank you for posting it :)

Yeah, this would make sense as a minigame of sorts in a bigger “Tattoo Shop” game. Though I feel the same way about Powerwash Simulator, soooo…
