1.1 Background of the Study
Stress is your body’s way of responding to any kind of demand or threat. When you feel vulnerable, your nervous system responds by releasing a flood of stress hormones and including adrenaline and cortisol, which rouse the body for emergency action. Your heart pounds quicker, muscles fix, pulse rises, breath animates, and your faculties get to be keener. These physical changes expand your quality and stamina, speed your response time, and improve your core interest. (Jeanne Segal, Ph.D., September 2015)
Anxiety Disorders, people who are stressed may show quite mild noticeable signs of anxiety, such as fidgeting, biting their fingernails, tapping their feet, etc. In other people, chronic activation of stress hormones can contribute to severe feelings of anxiety feelings of helplessness and a sense of impending doom. Thought patterns that lead to stress can also leave people vulnerable to intense anxiety

It will be shown in a fictional narrative and informative way possible in which the audience will raise the awareness towards stress.

The short film will not only take part to inform and raise the awareness of the audience about stress but to open up their mind on how or what would they do if they encounter the problem as
Often called the fight or flight reflex, stress has been known to save people’s lives, whether it be on a battlefield or some dangerous situation back home. Too much stress ultimately leads to health problems, but too little stress isn’t good for us either. When we go too long without a sharp stimulating response, the body loses its ability to handle stress properly (Tom Scheve, 2009). Somewhere between too much, and too little stress can actually be good for you, helping you perform under pressure. It is when someone cannot turn off that fight or flight feeling that it begins to show its negative effects.
When presented with uncertainty about a decision, or perceiving a threat to survival such as having to swing around a horizontally metal 1-inch pole’s axis completely with nothing to hold on to other than your hands, physiological changes in the body occur (known as the ‘fight-or-flight’ response) that are known to excite the sympathetic-division of the autonomic nervous-system into a ‘hyper-aroused’ state which is described to be “a non-specific response” to stress by Selye (1979) [reference to textbook case study on pg243]. Continuing on with Selye’s pioneered research on ‘stress’, he was able to distinguish between two different responses to ‘stress’ – a negative response would be labeled ‘distress’ and can be seen in worrying situations;
Weight loss. Weight gain. Stress can cause plenty of unwelcome, rough situations, especially in teens and preteens, which leads to thoughts of suicide and drug and alcohol abuse. Wouldn 't schools care about kids ' mental health? You would think yes, and most of them do in some ways, but they do not think about this.
Research has shown that high levels of stress and anxiety can interfere with academic performance, reduce motivation, and even lead to mental health problems such as depression. While some level of stress is normal and can be motivating, too much stress can be overwhelming, leading to negative consequences

When I’m stress it can take me three hours to go over a lecture because I am not fully focused. I am more worried about if I’m going to have time to go over all the information to get the grade I want. Sometimes when we see our grade and we expected a higher grade it causes us to still continue with this stresses. It causes us sometimes to lose our motivation and feel that we will not be able to improve. This is why I would like to write about stress.

INTRODUCTION Stress is a word derived from Latin word “Stingere” meaning to draw tight. (Mojoyinola, 2008) Stress is your body’s way of responding to any kind of demand or threat. When you feel threatened, your nervous system responds by releasing a flood of stress hormones, and including adrenaline and cortisol, which rouse the body for emergency action. Your heart pounds faster, muscles tighten, blood pressure rises, breath quickens, and your senses become sharper. These physical changes increase your strength and stamina, speed your reaction time, and enhance your focus.
Specific Purpose: To inform the audience about how stress develops and its effects on the workplace.

Stress refers to a dynamic interaction between the individual and the environment. In this interaction, demands, limitations and opportunities related to work may be perceived as threatening to surpass the individual's resources and skills. Stress is any physical or psychological stimulus that disturbs the adaptive state and provoked a coping response The increasing interest in stress research is probably because we live in a world that includes many stressful circumstances and stress has been a global phenomenon.

Stress involves interaction of the person and environment. To quote a definition: “Stress is an adaptive response to an external situation that results in physical, psychological and / or behavioural deviations for organizational participants” (Luthans, 1998). Stress has generally been viewed as a set of neurological and physiological reactions that serves an adaptive function (Franken, 1994). Traditionally, stress research has been oriented toward studies involving the body's reaction to stress and the cognitive processes that influence the perception of stress. However, social perspectives of the stress response have noted that different people experiencing similar life conditions are not necessarily affected in the same manner (Pearlin, 1982).
3. Review of literature 3.1 Stress and its types: Stress is an essential mediator of human behaviour. Immediate physiological response to any type of stressor facilitates survival of the species at its maximum. Despite of normal homeostatic regulatory mechanism, the stress responses can become maladaptive. Chronic stress, for example immobilization, exposure to noise, irradiations, psychological stress can leads to a host of adverse health consequences, including cardiovascular diseases, neurodegeneration, obesity, depression and early ageing (McEwen et al, 2004).
