Obedience

“The more obedient we are, the more freedom we have.”

Boyd K. Packer

I don’t really understand this quote. I guess the quote could be referring to the long run I which if you are obedient now you will have gained the trust of the person that you originally had to be obedient for, and now you have more options.

Obedience

Definition: A form of "social influence” in which a person yields to explicit instructions or orders from an authority figure.

Synonyms:

·       Compliance

·       Submission

·       Duty

·       Conformity

·       Agreement

·       Respect

Examples: An example of obedience would be a dog complying to its masters orders, or a person asking for someone else to do something and the other person is doing what he asked, or a child doing all the chores that he needs to do.

Military Medical Careers

Duties and Responsibilities: Each branch of the military has different needs and entrance requirements for medical professionals. However, one requirement all four military branches share is the physical health standards. Any minor physical weakness, or deviation, from the slightest vision or hearing impairment to flat-footedness, could disqualify you for acceptance into the military. Additionally, you would have to pass physical fitness tests and endurance tests as well. The standards do vary slightly amongst the branches, but generally the requirements are very strict.

Salary: The pay ranges from rank, career, and years active.

Education: The educational requirements are different for each career but most seem to require a medical and a bachelor’s degree. You also need to meet physical and mental requirements as well as meeting educational requirements.

Reflection: I would not like to practice any sort of military medical career because I just simply don’t want to. There are many downsides to these jobs that I do not want to take. I would rather not.

Harmful Effects and Consequences of Drug Abuse

The consequences of drug abuse include:

•   A moment of pleasure but a lifetime of pain.
•   It fries your brain. 
•  This video is very over dramatic
•   It destroys your future
•   You destroy the lives of the people around you
•  they deceive you
• they destroy your life
• you get jailed
• DEATH!!!!!!!!
• but retribution is available

I already made a promise to stay away from drugs a long time ago. I am actually straight edge. I wouldn't ever want to do drugs because i have seen what it does to some people, I also know that in my family I have a sort of intolerance to addiction. Even though those type of things do not get past down from parent to child, I wouldn't want to take the risk.

Student Success Statement

“Early to bed and early to rise makes a man healthy, wealthy, and wise.”

Benjamin Franklin

This quote means that if you get enough sleep then you invigorated for the next day. Of course this quote could have some sort of deeper meaning but I don’t really want to delve into that right now. Anyway, I agree with this statement completely. If you get a good night’s rest then you will have so much energy and such a clear head in the morning. And of course if you do not get enough sleep then you will not have so much energy or such a clear head.

Oriental Medicine Doctor

Duties and Responsibilities: Oriental medicine practitioners use fo-rms of acupuncture and treatment through the Chinese concept of “qi,” which means energy. Oriental medicine treats a variety of ailments including headaches, back pain, arthritis, or other illnesses by identifying patterns of imbalance within a body’s energy levels and working to readjust fluids or tissues in order to keep the body in balance and relieve pain. Oriental medicine techniques include acupuncture, cupping, acupressure, and herbal supplements that are applied to specific body parts or tissues. Practitioners must be able to evaluate a patient’s symptoms and identify what organs or tissues are causing the ailment, and come up with a customized plan that incorporates oriental herbs and practices into a treatment.

 Acupuncture treatments involve the use of needles being placed in joints and tissues. Cupping involves using cups as a suction equipment to help release toxins from within the body. Acupressure is a form of massage that applies pressure on various points in order to relieve pain in other body parts. Herbal supplements are used to treat ailments from the inside and flush toxins out that may be the cause. These are some of the most popular forms of oriental medicine that are used to treat a variety of conditions.

Salary: $61,000

Education: Education and training requirements vary from state to state.Most training is obtained during an internship or apprenticeship, and many students who work as intern often get hired in as a full-time practitioner once their certification is obtained.

Reflection:  Maybe if I was skilled in acupuncture and was not passionate about any other career then maybe would try one. For a period of time instead of seeing regular doctor, I started seeing an oriental medicine doctor. Overall he was a good doctor  but his personality was wicked.
