Today, we're gonna be talking about posture, specifically in children, but also in adults. When you lose your core because you haven't got any fitness, and you have haven't been exercising, you can slouch, you can walk improperly, you can hurt your hips and your back. Today, I'm gonna be using my book, Nurses on Our Own, for nurse Sally to walk with this on her head like we used to to keep from slouching. Our mother's always told us to sit up straight, and if you don't have your shoulders up straight when you use the computer or when you're bent over, or you bend your head over, it's like 30 pounds of weight on your head and on your spine. So it could be a terrible problem. Now you can use balancing, you can use trampolines, you can use all

Adjustable workstations are increasingly becoming a main benefit for organizations using them. When using computers at the workplace, employees typically sit down for longer periods without adjustable designed workstations. Such situations can lead to regular back injuries, stress injuries and other forms of injuries. All these injuries result in lost work time and reduced productivity. Using adjustable workstations reduces employee fatigue, makes them comfortable and helps them avoid standing or sitting in awkward postures. Adjustable designed workstations lowers the rate of suffering from tunnel syndrome injuries, which improves both employer and employee morale. This is characterized by improved productivity, reduction in employee absenteeism and minimal workplace complaints (Washington (State), 2009).

She gives multiple facts about how slouching affects you physically and warns to constantly check your posture while using your phone or anything that makes you crouch down. She talks about how posture can make you a victim to being mugged because it makes you look vulnerable. " Poor posture can even leave you vulnerable to street crime. Many years ago, researchers showed that women who walked sluggishly with eyes on the ground, as if carrying the weight of the world on their shoulders, were much more likely to be mugged than those who walked briskly and purposely with head erect" Her talking about her problems with her posture gives readers a sense of trust because like them she shares the same problems.

- Human body is erect, with the feet only slightly apart, head and toes pointed forward, and arms hanging at the sides with palms facing forward.

The purpose of this experiment was to identify which flexibility measurement tests correlate with the sit-and-reach and modified sit-and-reach tests. In more recent studies, statistics have shown that both hip flexion test results and shoulder extension test results were directly correlated to modified sit-and-reach test results (Mayorga-Vega, Merino-Marban, and Viciana, 2014). The data gathered for the sample

In the story that Jane E.Brody wrote was about proving to people that slouching inside a car or even on a computer can mess up your back posture and cause damage. I may not know this due to the fact that i don't drive nor spend all my hours on a computer. Most people say that it can hurt your whole back and spine and create problems toward the future. People start feeling discomfort and start feeling emotionally drained,it's all mentally.Scientist have proven facts that your spine moves in a not regular and make your eyes look at the ground.

In Jane Brody's article 'Posture affects standing and not just the physical kind", Amy Cuddy's article "Your iphone is ruining your posture and your mood", and in Glenn E. Weisfeld and Jody M. Beresford's research paper "Erectness of posture as an indicator of dominance of success in humans", all authors provide evidence that supports their argument. The authors provide evidence from various sources to make their argument credible. The authors also include logos, pathos and ethos to their arguments to make them more interesting and attractive to readers.

In the articles "Your iPhone Is Ruining Your Posture- and Your Mood" and in "Posture affects standing, and Not Just The Physical Kind", both authors Amy Cuddy and Jane Brody give their opinions on how posture can affect a person not only physically but mentally.

One of such stresses is body position and posture. While there is not an emphasis on lifting patients throughout the day, the assistant works in aide to the dentist and must be able to work with proper posture to prevent complications later in their careers. The dental assistant would be instructed to stand, sit, lean, and bend in order to provide the best assistance to the dentist as necessary. There was no education on posture, ergonomics, or alternative techniques to accomplish the task without sacrificing bodily health. Over the recent years, the staffs have mandatory continuing education courses on proper posture annually and they are encouraged to see massage therapists through a program which helps to pay for it, and chairs that facilitate

Posture can affect your social standing in numerous ways. It also affects your health, mood, and appearance. Amy Cuddy’s article use a psychological reason to why posture affects your social standing. Jane E. Brody’s articles uses ethics, Glenn E. Weisfield and Jody M. Beresford use a logical reason in their research paper. Logos, Pathos, and Ethos in their articles. I believe that Amy Cuddy’s article makes the most credible argument.

In Brodys' article it says "many years ago researchers showed that women who walked sluggishy with eyes on the ground, as if carrying the weight of the world on their shoulders, were much more likely to be mugged than those who walked briskly and purposely with hair erect". This paragraph show us that a posture makes a bad impression but we can't prove that posture was at fault. The article show us how weight forces us to bend forward

Almost every night, my parents would tell me to sit up straight when we were eating at the dinner table, and they would say it would help me digest. Also, in high school when I would walk through the halls between classes, many of my friends would compliment me on my posture. I thought it was the strangest thing to compliment someone on. The title “Your Body Language Shapes Who You Are,” brought back these memories; therefore, I was interested to see what Amy Cuddy had to say. Cuddy is a social psychologist and a business professor at Princeton. In the TED Talk “Your Body Language Shapes Who You Are,” Amy Cuddy discusses the reasons to use power posing, and it could affect the mind for better success in our lives.

Moreover, staying in just one position for a long period ( sitting in a chair with a bright computer screen right in front of you) can make you more susceptible to neck, back, and shoulder pain. All these can even affect your performance and inadvertently limit the progress of the company.

This article review discusses social context and body size, and how it influences action judgments for self and others. Action judgment, according to Gagnon, Geuss, Stefanucci, Baucom & Creem-Regehr (2015), is a decision making process an individual uses to decide a course of action or behavior. The decision making process known as affordances, involves an observer in any environment, scanning it for action potential and opportunities and relates it to self-properties, such as body size (Gagnon et al., 2015). The environment that an individual observes and interacts with is referred to as social context. Social context has a physical construct, a social setting, cultural context, and institutional settings. The constructs of a social context

The behavior that the girl was trying to minimize is a problem that many people suffer from. However, like the girl, many people also change their behavior in certain circumstances. The girl has learned to stand up straight through classical conditioning. When the girl was younger, the girl was complimented by her parents when she sat up straight. The praise of her good posture was the unconditioned stimulus, and the pleasure that she felt at this praise was the unconditioned response. As the girl grew older, she would notice that her parents would praise her even more when she had good posture and impressed an authoritative figure, such as a teacher or principal. The authoritative figures that she associated praise with were the conditioned stimuli. As such, her conditioned response was to sit up straighter when talking to an adult of authority. So, when she is with an authoritative figure, she modifies her posture in an attempt to impress them. If nobody cared whether someone had good or bad posture, then the action of straightening up would go extinct. Extinction is when a conditioned response
