Research findings indicate that patients suffering from chronic pain can moderate their emotional response to such pain with stimulation of the spinal cord.

A team of researchers from the Ohio State Neurological Institute focused their study on some 10 patients that were suffering from severe chronic leg pain. These patients were implanted with a spinal cord stimulator so as to reduce pain. The research is built on earlier findings that hinted on the idea of the neuromatrix pain theory. The theory states that pain varies according to emotional, cognitive and sensory influences. The resting state network of the human brain is called the default mode network or DMN. It has been shown that DMN plays a significant role in the cognitive and emotional aspects of perceiving pain. DMN is also associated with the main functional connectivity of the brain and its networks. The resting DMN is described as abnormal in patients with chronic and painful conditions. It implicates the effect of the chronic conditions on locations that are beyond perception of pain. Through the use of the functional magnetic resonance imaging, the researchers were able to map out the areas of the human brain that are involved in the process of pain perception and the accompanying modulation. It is through understanding the neural networks responsible for the pathophysiology of pain that the researchers can come up with therapies to reduce and manage chronic persistent pain (Deogaonkar, et al., 2016)."

Part 3 -- Training Day

Physical and Personality Characteristics of the Lead Characters

The movie portrays Denzel as a crooked, streetwise and burn out cop while Ethan is wet behind the ears and has no clue; being a rookie. The terrific part of Alonzo Harris is played by Denzel. He is a dark cop with an unorthodox view of life.

How the Movie Portrayed the Leading Female and Male Actors?

None

Were there any Stereotypes?

The role of Denzel as Alonzo Harris provides an enduring and frightful depictions of the black people as criminals with a knack for violence. The white cop (Ethan Hawke plays the role of a good cop and an upright man, morally).

Cultural Issues Portrayed in the Movie.

A culture of violence, drug and crime

In what ways was the movie representative or not representative of your culture?

The movie showed a culture of violence, drugs and crime. It is clearly not my culture.

How does this comparison enhance your understanding of culture within the scope of this course?

The comparison helps to understand that culture and self-reflection are crucial to the cross-cultural learning process. It is important to understand that everyone has a culture, and gain knowledge that one's own culture is somewhat different from another culture and that they can also be closely related, even if they are different.What was the underlying moral and/or philosophical view depicted in the movie that may have an impact on a person's professional decisions or choices?

The moral and ethical lessons are glaring; crime does not pay. This mental position can affect professional decisions.

In what ways was the movie not representative of American culture, society, and job/labor market?

The day of training highlights the matter of corruption among the police. The movie portrays the issue as functions of one's character as opposed to a systematic problem. The ghetto is portrayed negatively as a crime-inclined cultural setting that Alonzo exemplifies. The scandal of a rogue policeman is blurred by the extant criminalization that sits on the black person as its bedrock (Jones, 2013).
