God (punishment)

While some diseases have been wiped out by advancing medicine, some still exist today. Back when medicine has relied on religion, spiritual and traditional beliefs, people believed a "higher power" causes the illnesses. They believed that God gave the illnesses as punishment for sins or disobedience. Consequently, the people believed that the treatment for these illnesses are rituals and prayers.

Paris has just found out that her company is downsizing their staff and that she is highly likely to lose her job at any moment.
borishaifa [10]

Answer:

sympathetic

Explanation:

The sympathetic nervous system is one of the main components of the autonomic nervous system that controls involuntary movement functions such as heart rate, dilation of pupils etc. The sympathetic nervous system specifically controls such involuntary functions unconsciously when the body senses a threat or stressor. It is responsible for initiating the body’s “flight or fight response.  

The threat of Paris losing her job is what her body senses as distress signal, which leads to the activation of the sympathetic nervous system by the hypothalamus. Hormones such as adrenaline is pumped into the bloodstream to elevate the body’s alertness and heart rate as a response to the distress signal.
