“Medical thinking usually sees stress as highly disturbing but isolated events such as, for example, sudden unemployment, a marriage breakup, or the death of a loved one. These major events are potent sources of stress for many, but there are chronic daily stresses in people's lives that are more insidious and more harmful in their long-term biological consequences. Internally generated stresses take their toll without in any way seeming out of the ordinary.” PeopleThinkingWayLongPainTermEventsExampleSourceMajorsOrdinaryConsequenceStressMedicalTherapyLong TermBreakupInjuryLoved OnesIsolatedDeath Of A Loved OneUnemploymentDisturbingSeemingTollsInsidious Author:Gabor Mate
“I realize that artists can become fatigued from touring the world over, but if it's your first major tour, you've got to buckle down and do it, said Sami Jarroush, a music blogger for Consequence of Sound.

“Usually we look at it like, "Oh, black people couldn't vote in Mississippi because they had to take a literacy test." But one of the things you learn in the film is that there were major consequences for even trying to vote. You could be killed for trying to vote. You could definitely be fired from your job and many were, which is why so few black Mississippians even attempted to register early on. They put your name in the newspaper if you tried to register to vote.” PeopleIfsTryingLooksJobsFilmNamesBlackMajorsConsequenceTestsVoteNewspapersBlack PeopleLiteracyRegisterMississippi Author:Stanley Nelson Jr.

This has consequences both trivial and important. If you systematically read the last fifty years of the major journals in our discipline you would be amazed at the amount of redundancy.
