First you must watch a video . Watch the video on the work of Robert Sapolsky who studies stress (this is a short version; if you want to see the entire video, you can find it here:https://youtu.be/AYFZAYenR20.
Begin the paper by defining stress in your own words and discussing your reaction to the video.
- Watch the Sapolsky Video
- Complete the Life Experiences Survey (which I did, you must say I’m at risk for anxiety, same answer for #3)
- Interview your family members about the stress-related disease you are at risk for. (anxiety)
- Research an article on stress and that disease.
- Research and locate one article on stress and whatever disease you are most at risk for (select a study on research conducted on humans) from a reputable academic source. Reputable Source: Journal articles and government publications based on research. Do not use magazines of any sort, whether on paper or online, websites of any kind including stress websites, and Wikipedia.
- Here are some topics you can discuss. You are not required to discuss these but they may be useful to you:
- Do modern lifestyles create more stress for you than in the past? How so?
- How do you create stress in your own life?
- How could you change the nature of our society to make it less stressful?
- It could be said that some stress comes from leading “out-of-balance” lives. What can people do to “keep it simple”? Furthermore, in what ways can individuals control the stressors they will encounter beforehand?
- How could you change the way in which you interact with your school demands or your work demands to change the amount of stress that you feel?
- Discuss how you can improve your health and longevity in light of your findings on this assignment, your understanding of stress, and your knowledge of your family history. This should be your final page.
