Traffic Accident in Japan


Three years ago, I had a traffic accident alone on the high way. At that time, I was on my way to Kanazawa which is located in hokuriku area for business trip. After finishing my working, I got off from Osaka to kanazawa. I didn't have enough time because it takes 4 hours to there. Moreover I wanted to take a rest at the hotel because I had to wake up early next day. That is way I drove very the car first. When I reached the halfway to point, the traffic accident happened. While I was driving into the tunnel, car's back wheel blowed out suddenly. Therefore I could not control a handle and crashed walls three times.(speed was more than 90 miles) However, I just got fracture in the right hand and still alive. it was very shocked to me, but this crash makes me driving safe more than until at that time. In addition, at that time I had a talisman such as doll. After crashed, I saw the talisman, but I could not find the right arm of this doll. I thought that the doll was in place of me.

Pope-Gaijic. O,(2004, Feb. 4) Before You Buy A Chair Suite 101.com retrieved on April 23, 2009 from: http://www.suite101.com/article.cfm/physical_therapy/106248

Summary

In Ozana's article " Before You Buy A Chair," he mentions that choosing a good chair helps your body from chronic strain.First, desk workers often get physical problems such as chronic strain, nonetheless, a good chair might reduce their problems. While they are working, there are many postures. Moreover the author states that the most common posture on the chair is leaning forward. Next the physical therapists suggests that they should not keep same posture for a long time, and their circulation will be improved. Third, on the basis of the author's suggestion, they should choose the chair carefully. In conclusion, choosing a good chair is good for their body and they can work comfortably in office.

Reaction

I often treat a chronic strain which happens from bad posture on the chair as a physical therapist. First, I ask patients about their symptoms carefully because I already know these problems comes their sitting position and habit of daily life. Next, I give advice how to sit on the chair and to do exercise regularly, even though they are sitting on the chair all day long. In fact, chronic strain does not be recovered easily. Despite that, habitual exercise will help your body to reduce pain and improve your body condition. I think not only a chair but also a bed should be chosen carefully. Also keeping same posture is not good for your blood, muscle, eyes, and so on. I think a daily life deeply relates our chronic strain, so, we should choose carefully commodity such as furniture. That is the best way to win form chronic strain.

reference

Pope-Gajic. O,(2001, Oct. 1) Computer Pain. Suite101.com retrieved on April. 10, 2009 from : http://www.suite101.com/article.cfm/phsical_therapy/81278/2

Summary

According to the author, she states that if you use computer a long time, you must feel tired and get some physical problems such as low back pain, horrible pain, and so on. Ergonomic problems, which include Carpal tunnel syndrome and aching back, have been increasingly common in modern society; however, nobody has noticed what the causes are.
First, in general we don't think that we have any physical problems in our bodies, but routine position and routine life undermine our bodies, especially computer work. On the other hand, we have solutions to ease this pain.
According to the article, treatment is very simple. The author suggests we should do proper exercise, take some medicine and keep god posture.
In addition, sometimes we need physical therapy, which can provide stretching, evaluation and correct exercises for our problems. If we do this constantly, we will be fine.
In conclusion, money is important, but you can't do anything without your health.

Reaction

In present-day life, computer is one of the necessities of life. Moreover, we can do anything through internet. On the other hand, computer often causes some physical disease. It is clear current research reports many articles about computer pain. I'm interested in these diseases, because physical therapists have been active in this field recently. That is why I chose this article. I think physical therapy deeply relates to problems, which are caused by modern society.
Next, I want to talk about computer pain as well. In my opinion, approximately most people have the problem of computer pain in their life, because computer has been widespread all over the world. Computer pain is a serious problem, but nobody is aware of it.
I think it is a more serious problem than computer pain itself. I want to say something as a physical therapist. If people can become aware of this problem, they can treat it by themselves. Then, they must remove the pain finally. Proper exercise gives us a good body and reduces stress, but if you don't pay close attention to your body, your computer pain will never recover I think. It will be chronic pain. I have to protect people from these diseases of modern society as a physical therapist.

What do I write on my gravestone


When I was born, everyone were smiling for me. If I write down something for my gravestone, I will choose "please keep smiling for me, because my life was wonderful with you!" I always think that it is better to do something than regret not having done it. So, I never regret my life, and I always try to do my best anything else. Even though I will die today, never change my blief and mind. On the other hand, I kile "once in a lifetime chance," which means I treasure encounter in my life. If I can write on my gravestone's reverse, I will write these words. Nobody knows when we die, or who die. However, it is our destiny, and we must accept our future without exception. If so, we should direct all our energies to living for our lives.

Violent of society

It is important for teens to be controled from the violence of society and the violence in the media, especially video games. However, if parents restrain in too much, their children might rebel to maintain their right. that is to say, both parents and their children talk deeply and parents should indicate as experts in life. Sometimes parentts have to set strict rules. On the other hand, parents should accept their childrens' behavior and thinking. I think that both of such things are necessary to buid a good person and go into the adulthood.

Stereotype in my country


In my country, we can see many geeks who often wear old fashioned clothes and bring a paper bag in Akihabara. Akihabara where is located in Tokyo gather many nerds from all of parts Japan. Therefore, we call there mecca of geeks and everyone call them “Akiba-kei” who have peculiar hobby. They support their favorite pop idol and spend much money and time for idol, their hobby, and so on. Some people of Akiba-kei devote their all of energy to their favorite pop idol or their hobbies. On the other hand, I can explain what Akihabara is. Akihabara is very packed place, especially weekend. There are many cafes, cartoon shops, amusement arcade, computer stores, and so on. Therefore, many “Akiba-kei” gather in there and enjoy each hobbies all day long. Actually, I have never been there, however I want to visit there and take many pictures with “Akiba-kei.”
