Calling Suicide

12.6.10

I wanted to post this awhile back but hadn't time - MICHAEL R. PHILLIPS on Foxconn and China's Suicide Puzzle  - an interesting take by a researcher in the morbid field (who also has rather large cojones):
Depression and other mental disorders are still major risk factors for suicide in China. But the relative importance of chronic and acute psychosocial stresses (particularly family conflicts), impulsive personality traits, and poor conflict-resolution skills may be greater in China than elsewhere.
So what I hear you saying, Michael Phillips, is that Chinese people do not have conflict-resolution skills, and they are impulsive, in general. Which sounds to me like you're calling Chinese people teenagers. Like I said, huge cojones, among other things.
