Happiness Guide Ran TanThis project challenges the concepts of universal care and expanding care networks discussed in the book. While care promotes equal participation, in reality, differences in abilities, resources, and mental states often create moral pressure, putting a burden on some individuals. Expanding the care network turns care into a collective obligation, blurring the line between personal and social responsibility, making care work overly generalized and hard to manage. Gamifying care with a reward system might seem encouraging, but it subtly forces caregivers to constantly extend their care, driven by rewards, which increases pressure. This model may overlook the caregivers’ mental burdens, reducing them to tools for continuous giving. Similarly, overly idealizing care around the individual neglects collective responsibility and social inequality. It repeats the issue of placing excessive caregiving burdens on individuals, trapping them in endless expectations to care.
