...Stress can happen to anyone at any time. People always mistake stress as only negative things, but there are both good and bad stress. First of all, what is stress or the definition of it? Stress is “Any event or environmental stimulus that we respond to because we perceive it as challenging or threatening” (Pastorino 504). In simpler terms, any event that a person encounters that could be difficult or threatening can give an individual stress. All of our reactions to it differ to every type of stressor. Our bodily reactions are also included to how we react to stress. After that, we deal with the stress by coping. Stressors can be divided into sub categories like catastrophes, major life events, daily hassles, and conflicts. Major life events...

...Read the following passage and then write down your answers to the questions that follow it. “Burnout in the Healthcare Sector” Pattie Malone Introduction Stress is a part of everyday life and, to a certain degree, is healthy for an individual. Chronic stress, however, is not healthy for an individual, and chronic stress results in burnout. Burnout is defined in lay terms as physical or emotional exhaustion, especially as a result of long-term stress. Researchers have commonly found that individuals in the human services professions, such as health care, are more susceptible to burnout than individuals in other professions (Maslach, 1982; Pines and Aronson, 1988; Patrick, 1984; Weber, 1991). Today, the economic, political, and regulatory pressures in the healthcare industry have made an already stressful environment even more so (Dubnicki, 1991). The purpose of this study is to determine what burnout is, why it is so prevalent in the healthcare sector, and what human resources management can do to prevent burnout. Burnout Defined Pines and Aronson (1988) define burnout as a state of physical, emotional, and mental exhaustion caused by long-term involvement in emotionally demanding situations. Physical exhaustion comes in the form of low energy, chronic fatigue, and weakness. Emotional exhaustion is characterized by the development of negative attitudes toward oneself, work, and life itself. Maslach (1982) defines burnout as a syndrome of emotional...

...Trauma, Development, and Spirituality According to the American Association of Children’s Residential Centers (AACRC), trauma is considered to be the result of occurrences of mental or physical injury such as sexual or physical abuse sexual abuse, seeing brutality, or natural tragedy (AACRC, 2014). But trauma is not limited to events per se; alternatively, trauma can also be brought about by occurrences of daily living that are emotional in nature and not quite as obvious. Traumatic stress can be evoked by trials surrounding relationships, physical issues, severe neglect, or by circumstances that overpower a person’s ability to adjust (American Association of Children’s Residential Centers, 2014). This essay will discuss how culture can influence traumatic experiences, the impact of trauma on neurobiological development, and how spiritual development can counter the effects of trauma. Cross Cultural View of Trauma Research conducted in Western countries has typically revealed a disproportionately large percentage of accounts of abuse of children among ethnic minority groups. However, mistreatment is not primarily connected to any particular ethnic group, but has been regarded as a global issue (World Health Organization [WHO], 2002 as cited by Cyr, Michel, & Dumais, 2013). The intricacy of examining child abuse from a culturally diverse viewpoint can be made clear by a number of components impeding the progress of awareness about this issue. Specifically, despite the fact...

...and controlling appliances from miles away has taken away just small chunks of brain power, but as technology continues to evolve, those chunks keep adding up and soon humans won’t need to use their brains for much of anything. While technological developments have made life amazingly easier, simpler and anything is just a mouse's click away, it has brought several negative health impacts, psychological problems and stress in daily life. Furthermore, the presence of technology in the world today has created many benefits and issues in almost every facet of life. For instance, in Business, companies are much more productive due to the various advancements in communication. Company provided cell phones, email and instant messenger are just a few of the ways that colleagues, bosses and customers can communicate, allowing instant access and quicker results. One of the newer advancements that I have used recently is called “Telepresence”, which is real-time video conferencing that has the effect of people literally being in the room together when in fact they are hundreds of mile apart. Business’s have benefited greatly from these new technologies, on the other hand, employees are now taking their work home with them and are expected to be available every minute of the day, adding more responsibility and stress. In the same way business has been changed by technology advancements, education has been hugely impacted as well....

...EVALUATION ESSAY EVALUATION ESSAY Most people do not realize that aquariums are not only beautiful additions to your home that can bring a room to life, but they are also therapeutic. Over the last decade many studies have been conducted that proven aquariums can really change your mental state in ways many we never thought could be possible. With all of the stress brought about by daily activities, everyone needs to unwind and find peaceful distractions. Thousands of people suffer from high blood pressure, lack of sleep and malnutrition due to stress. If you are having a difficulty managing your stress levels, maybe the time has come to purchase an aquarium and dive into the hobby of fishkeeping. Researchers have been searching for cures for stress related problems and have found that medication is not the only way to help treat stress and stress related issues. Analysts have found that owning or being around aquariums is one of the best methods to help cure these issues. There are many more benefits of owning an aquarium than just easing stress levels and treating a busy mind. Studies going back as far as three decades reveal that gazing at an aquarium is one of the safest ways to lower high blood pressure, which is the leading cause of many illnesses and even death. Tests concluding that aquariums promote beneficial effects on the human mind started from conducting test with people where they would observe aquariums with no fish versus aquariums that were filled with fish...

...Job Satisfaction It is said that human is the most important resource for any improvements. In the same way, employees have the most important influence on company’s success, and the key to make employees do their best to the company is when they feel satisfy with their job. It also “represents one of the most complex areas facing today’s managers when it comes to managing their employees” (Aziri 2011). That is because if the workers have a satisfaction with any works they are doing, they will do their work effectively and have an enthusiasm for their work. On the other hand, if they do not feel pleased with their work, the success is hard to happen, and it can bring the negative impacts to the business. Therefore, job satisfaction can decrease workers’ stress, and the result is that the worker will feel willing to work to achieve the company’s aim. This essay will firstly give some definitions of job satisfaction. Then it will present and discuss about some theories and the causes of work satisfaction. Thirdly, there are the comparisons among those models. Lastly, the conclusion will show the importance of job satisfaction. There are a lot of people giving the definition of the job satisfaction. They are as follows. Hoppock defined job satisfaction as “any combination of psychological, physiological and environmental circumstances that cause a person truthfully to say I am satisfied with my job” (Hoppock 1935). In (Aziri 2011) Locke (1976) defined it as “. . . a pleasurable...

...Melvina Thomas Prof Christina Elvidge College Writing November 7, 2012 Smoking Smoking has become a trending topic in today’s world, as leading problem in today’s society that starts for many reasons. The habit may start because of curiosity, peer pressure, stress, personal issues, even though people know how harmful it can. Some people begin smoking due to the stress in their lives and are under the misconceived notion that it relaxes them. Others smoke due to the assumption that because their parents smoke, it must be okay. A little common sense would indicate that inhaling smoke cannot be good or healthy for the human body. Smoking is very addicting and it affects youth to adult youth. One effect of smoking, and probably the one that the non-smokers hate the most, is that it stinks up everything around them. Smokers usually have smelly hair, breath, clothes, and, if they smoke indoors, a smelly room/ house. The stench of a cigarette is so strong and very hard to get rid of. Even if the person quits smoking the odor remains for a long time. Another effect of smoking is one that most people don’t even take into consideration. It stains the teeth yellow, or sometimes even brown. Since this effect is long term, most people are not aware of it when they begin smoking. The truth is that a cigarette stain is very hard to eliminate from the teeth, and it can end up costing a considerable amount of money. Yellow teeth are disgusting because they give an unhygienic image and...

...What causes humans to become ill? Humans can get ill a variety of different ways, anything we eat or come into contact with may cause illness in a human. In this essay I will outline different potential illnesses that a human may suffer with. When a human comes into contact with something that causes an abnormal immune response we call it an allergy. When allergy-prone person initially comes into contact with an allergen their B-cells produce IgE antibody, this antibody produced binds to mast cells which are found throughout the body. The second contact with this allergen, the mast cells with IgE present produces histamine which then lead to allergy symptoms such as running nose, sneezing and watery eyes. There are millions of types of different bacteria, some good and some bad called pathogens, which can make a human ill. When a pathogen enters the body it attaches to cells, potentially damaging the cells and releases its toxins. The bodies white blood cells can destroy the pathogens however while the body destroys the pathogens it may also damage the surrounding tissue. In most cases antibiotics can be taken to kill the bacteria, it does this by stopping their growth or killing them it does this by preventing the bacteria from building up a cell wall. An example of a bacteria is acne, acne is caused by bacteria growing near or in the sebaceous glands in the skin which causes inflammation and white pus.
