CHAPTER I
The Problem and It’s Background
Introduction
The complexity of human activities causes a lot of effects to the lives of every individual. Whatever the effect of these activities, favorable or not, man is affected particularly in the aspect on how every activity is to be carried out using his physical strength thus making him stressed eventually. It is normal for people to experience stress but when it comes, every person should be ready to handle it in order for its effect to become favorable on his part. Though generally, its effects are negative. In the view of many people, on the other hand, it can benefit others in some ways.
No one can live without experiencing some degree of stress at all times (Selye1987). Stress nowadays plays a great part not only on students but also in each person’s daily living, it occurs when there is an imbalance between the demands of life and our ability to cope with them. Most people know something about stress. One may think that only serious disease or intensive physical or mental injury can cause stress, this is false (Selye1978). Job pressures, school works, family arguments, financial pressures and not having enough time are just few of the stressors that people at the present day society faces daily. In fact, it has been accepted in the society that everyday stress is part of modern living (Murray and Pizzorno, 1998).

    Stress has been defined as ‘the adverse reaction people have to excessive pressure or other types of demand placed on them’. (Finlay et al., 2010 page 141). It can affect everyone at some stage and is part of everyday life. Whilst moderate stress can help people react more quickly ‘prolonged or excessive levels give people no time to recover their strength, and this can lead to exhaustion, depression and physical illness.’ (Finlay et al., 2010 page 142). There are many factors that may contribute to stress and a variety of interventions that can tackle it. This essay is primarily concerned with debating the effectiveness of a stress management course as an intervention, and for illustration, I will be referring to the…

    A role model is someone who people look up to as an idol, someone whom many people want to be like, based of his or her good deeds and intentions. Role models are people who have, and continue to do a lot of good in their community as well as other selfless acts; other times we look up to people simply because they are financially successful or athletic. A true role model is someone who you would want yourself or your kids to be like. Not someone who is seen in a negative perspective by the public or society, but rather someone who has done a lot of good for the people around them, and taken steps to make the world a better place.…

    Stress is a condition that most of us have experienced throughout our lives and in the main it is a positive emotion and it can help us to become motivated reaching our potential positively and productively. However, stress can also manifest itself in a negative and weakening way whereby the individual becomes overwhelmed and the balance that would normally achieve positive behaviours and actions becomes skewed - the very opposite can happen - where we are affected in a debilitating way, unable to cope with day to day actions and demands.

    Coping is a technique in which people use when dealing with stressful events. It is referred to anything that one might feel, think, and/or do in order to reduce stress. Because people cope differently, there are several different coping methods that people undergo based on what stressful event they have experienced. One particular coping method, meaning-focused coping, is ways that people find to accomplish the meaning of a stressful situation. When something tragic happens in one’s life, let’s say a house fire, one may look at it as if “everything happens for a reason” or even, “Material things can be replaced, but people cannot, so it’s good no one is hurt.” When dealing with the meaning-focused coping strategy, one decreases the stress by reframing the stress of being rejected. Psychologist, Susan Folkman, argues that people disregard the role that positive emotion plays in coping and reinstates our coping energy. Folkman and Lazarus introduced a stress coping model in 1984 and later on updated it. The initial model displayed an arrangement of activities following an event: Appraisal, Coping, Outcome, Emotion (Britton, 2009). In the model were two pathways from a threatening event that led to positive emotion; as the second pathway led to unfavorable distress. In the improved model, it included impacts of positive emotion while people deal with negative results. There are several different kinds of meaning-focused coping that people deal with when handling a certain situation.…

    I chose this article because it is relevant to my field of study which is Business Administration and also other studies. It raises an issue with me because stress comes in many forms. I want to inform people on how to comprehend, manage, and respond positively to stress and apply it to their life and goals. I know stress can be positive and negative. Positive stress gives me that extra bust of adrenaline to help me accomplish my goals. I know when it is negative stress because I have a lack of concentration of the things I need to do. I also know that I’m in control of my life and the foundation of stress management.…

    Studies about Family income or Socioeconomic status of the family reveals that there is an increased of number of the students who got pregnant during college days. According to (Wolfinger 2008), the people from impoverished families often pregnant at an early age because they lack alternatives, such as opportunity for higher education. Socioeconomic status that does not provide any alternative to young girls directs them to early pregnancy. Similarly, (Ono 2008) in her study of woman’s economic standing and marriage cited the theory of specialization and exchange which states that woman's higher economic standing will decrease their chance of getting married. This will have a further impact on first pregnancy since marriage in societies upholding virginity is considered as the primary factor explaining fertility behaviors. It also supported by the recent study of (Safdar 2012) states that when low income teenagers live in places with high income inequality the risk of pregnancy is even higher. Some studies state that peers can also affect early pregnancy, according to (Shingh 2007) states that “ Adolescent childbearing is more likely among women with low levels of income and education that among their better-off peers”. Therefore, adolescent pregnancy was more prevalent among women from families with a low socioeconomic status as determined be occupation (class) and income.…
