People on undercover cases pour everything out into their jobs, and more often than not conflict a little to stop them ultimately for good. Another case once again fictional, Captain America also known as Steve Rogers achieved his goal, but conflicted upon the killing the nazis. He just wanted to stop bullies, as he frequently injured himself as bullies targeted him his entire life, and believed he tried to make a difference. Nonetheless, these arguments fall short because they conflict, but they sometimes conflict to actually accomplish something they don’t want to, which normally people typically stop before they commit the confliction; unless peer pressured into
Unit 2 Assignment: Diagnostic Writer’s Response Whether it is a little or a lot, everyone experiences stress at some point. Stress does not always have a negative effect, most of the time the effects can be positive. On the other hand stress is associated with the development of most major mental health problems such as depression, Posttraumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD), and pathological aging (Marin, 2011).

In Homer’s epic poem The Odyssey, Homer portrays loyalty as a guiding force in one’s decision making. In “The Test of the Great Bow”, Eumaeus is loyal to Odysseus even after twenty years of Odysseus’s absence. Eumaeus trusts Odysseus enough to allow him to “‘judge what stuff is in [him] / and how [he manages] arms”’ because he desires to please Odysseus (1136-1137). Through this, Eumaeus gives up his free will and allows Odysseus to make his decisions for him.
The Conflict Of Wants And Needs Seen Through The Lens Of Loyalty Charles Caleb Colton once said, “We are sure to be losers when we quarrel with ourselves; it is a civil war, and in all such contentions, triumphs are defeats.” In his quote, the use of an oxymoron and the metaphor, “civil war,” outline the concept that when humans encounter an inner conflict, they must lose some part of themselves in order to achieve something as well. Just as in a real civil war, where two sides of a single nation are pitted against each other, even though one side of the conflict may triumph, the body as a whole is still losing some other part of it. In war, there are casualties and sacrifices from both ends that must inevitably be made no matter what is gained.
Loyalty Is the Best Policy Imagine a world which had been ruled by a trustworthy leader for decades. The land and people are all at peace, but as soon as the leader turns their back to protect them, many of the once trustworthy and loyal citizens are now betraying this leader. Among all the traitors, some loyalty is still scattered about the land. It's hidden in small and unsuspected ways. This land is called Ithaca, Odysseus' home in the epic poem, "The Odyssey" by Homer.
Although some may disagree, the need for survival, physical or emotional, can outweigh loyalty. For some strange reason, people go through things that are usually unexplainable. One of the most important things, to many people, is protecting their family members and in order to do so, they must think more about their loyalty than their own survival. This counterexample is uncommon but still true.
“Honesty and loyalty are key. If two people can be honest with each other about everything, that's probably the biggest key to loyalty” Taylor Lautner. This relates to the novel by John Steinbeck Of Mice and Men by showing that two men that are honest with each other will have loyalty in their friendship. George was loyal to Lennie even after all of the scandalous acts, Curley wanted to make sure his wife is safe and another significant example is Candy’s dog was Candy’s best friend. These three examples show that friends should be loyal to the extent that they do not inflict unnecessary suffering like Georges tolerance for Lennie, Curley's allegiance to his wife and Candy’s devotion for his dog.

loy·al·ty ˈloiəltē/ noun the quality of being loyal to someone or something. a strong feeling of support or allegiance. Loyalty is very strong and very meaningful, like true love or brotherhood.

What is being loyal to someone, how can it be seen? Why is it that when one is betrayed, that is all that they think about night and day? The truth is loyalty cannot be seen but only felt between people who have faith within one another. As for betrayal, it can affect one so severely that it cannot leave their mind, especially if a loved one has caused it. In “Choices” by Susan Kerslake and “The Veldt” by Ray Bradbury, the authors suggest that a person can change based solely on their needs, and question their ability to stay loyal or betray.
Examine how far George and Lennie are loyal to each other throughout 'Of mice and men' In the novella 'Of Mice and Men', by the well-known author, John Steinbeck, the reader is introduced to a varied range of different characters on the ranch; within this realm loyalty between George and Lennie plays a significant role in the lonely itinerant lifestyle. The characters in this short novel act in a world of their own, having no connections to any other type of society; through this Steinbeck can strongly depict the theme of loyalty and friendship in dire situations during this period of time. During the 1930's, at the ranch, a predominant role of intelligent white-males is seen to retain power over lesser groups of people, of which Lennie is portrayed to be this part as he is mentally disabled. Despite this George and Lennie strike up a friendship of loyalty: showing firm and constant support. ' Guys like us got no fambly...they ain't got nobody in the worl' that gives a hoot in hell about 'em' sums up the reason why their loyalty and companionship is so vital and special to each other.
American society tends to tune into the belief that loyalty is not given, but earned. While this might be coined as the correct way of thinking, it strikes up the age-old question of what makes a person “deserving” of loyalty. On what grounds does loyalty become a factor of “if” and not “how”? Should loyalty be given to anyone? Do they have to do something in particular to get it, or could they just be a good person?

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).
