's message, "The Overpraising of Women in UBF" on 16:10:31 12/15/04 Wed
When I was a ubf hard care, I was involved with so many different things for a number of years. However, I never heard of Mrs. EE Chang Woo doing anything except opening the mail, going to the bank, and meeting with the Korean grandmas once a week.
Yet, the message praises her as if she is a greater caretaker of American students than Mother Theresa was for the sick and impoverished. As a former American college student, I can tell you Mrs. EE never did anything for me, ever, and maybe said Hello to me a handful of times in like fifteen years. I did not see her take care of even one American college student in those 15 years. If somebody saw her take care of American students, please post those stories here.
The overpraising of the women is a danger in that overpraise can lead to the person becoming very inflated and proud, not because they did anything, but because the overpraise can move the person into a fantasy world. A simplistic definition of mental illness is the failure to distinguish between reality and fantasy.
Over anything is usually bad, such as overreacting, overeating, overindulging, overdosing, you get the idea.
