Summer's Response To Crisis

Stress is very well known for just what it means: STRESS. Its effect on human beings from a local and a global standpoint is far greater than any of us imagine. Stress can overtake one’s body physically, mentally, emotionally, as well as behavioral aspects. This is not something to take lightly. This is actually very serious. If you notice, it’s not just older people that die this day and time with heart attacks, suicide, and things of this nature. People of all ages. Older people, younger people, and even really young people. Children, yes, I said children. Don’t automatically think that stress only affects older people that have lived a longer

They have also found that there are strong links between prolonged stress and disorders, mentally and physically. Kiecolt-Glaser et al 1995 also carried out research into the relationship between Stress and the Immune System. Kiecolt-Glaser et al 1995 = == ==

All of this stress has a significant impact on one’s overall health and wellness. From cancer to child mortality, nearly every

The October Crisis was a series of events trigged by the kidnapping of two government officials during October of 1970 in the province of Quebec. The kidnappings of British Trade Commissioner James Cross and Quebec Minister of Labour Pierre Laporte were the pinnacle of all terrorist activity led by the Front de Libération du Quebec (FLQ). The FLQ was a radical separatist group who strived for Quebec’s independence from the rest of Canada. The circumstances ultimately culminated in the only peacetime use of the War Measures Act in Canadian history, invoked by Governor General of Canada Roland Michener at the direction of Prime Minister Pierre Trudeau. The use of the War Measures Act had been requested by the Premier of Quebec, Robert

New York was a very big town and crowded, but very crowded on certain events which made people have to be cautious all the time. They were very well known for their mountains, the major rivers that flow into part of it, and being the outskirts of the Atlantic Ocean. Everyone thinks that it is a good town but there are a lot of homeless people, mostly women, there are males who rely on illegal substances to keep them happy and going, and they are mostly worried about people's age and not so much worried about their race.

Lastly, the October Crisis benefitted and affected Canadians in many different ways and is still known today as a big era of Canadian times. At the time it has affected Canadians in Québec as well as the prime minister Pierre Trudeau. First of all the left wing parties of Quebec lost a lot of support and they did not become its own independent country (Katlin, 2012). This Crisis was Canada's first real terrorist attack and because of it, the government learned more to prevent the same events from occurring in the future. The Crisis caused many Canadians to lose support for the FLQ which was the political-left wing party after the kidnappings and various attacks (Katlin, 2012).

In his book, The October Crisis: An Insider’s View, William Tetley specifically focuses on the FLQ as an actor for independence, while ignoring the variety of other goals within the FLQ manifesto. Tetley begins with an evaluation, stating that the ultimate goal of both the 1963 and 1970 FLQ was a separate Quebec. Tetley proposes that the FLQ was less interested in the minor grievances of the Quebec society, but instead focused on a larger goal. Tetley cites FLQ member Pierre Schinder, who believed that “in Canada, democracy never existed.” This statement supports Pelletier’s proposal that extremists ignore the political foundation of Canada. However, Tetley critiques Schinder for his admiration of Louis Joseph Papineau, a Quebec patriot, due to the fact that Papineau “opposed the use of force by his followers.” Therefore, Tetley believes the democracy that the FLQ targeted is in itself a greater Canadian democracy, which has managed to unify the rest of the nation. This differs from Cook’s understanding, because it relies on the existence of a larger, culturally diverse group who understands itself as Canadian, instead of an individual who believes in liberalism and the use of that liberalism within political institutions. According to Tetley, the entire Canadian society was targeted by the FLQ due to its existence within the democratic framework, a symbol of English domination in Quebec. However, as Granatstein cited, the “Rally for Canada” and speaking against the

All people experience stress in one form or another because it is a normal part of

A few years before the October Crisis happened, a popular politician named René Lévesque formed a party called the Mouvement Souveraineté-Association (MSA). On October 11th, 1968, the MSA merged with the Ralliement national to form the Parti Québécois. The Rassemblement pour l’indépendance nationale (RIN) disbanded and its leader, Pierre Bourgalt, joined the PQ. All the separatist forces were united, with Lévesque as their leader. Before the October Crisis, Lévesque was badly defeated in an election against Robert Bourassa’s Liberal party. Consequently, he decided to return to journalism as a columnist for the Journal de Montréal. After the October Crisis, the Parti Québecois had a comeback. However, it was not very successful. The PQ engaged in years of soul-searching and came to the conclusion that they need to be elected on a good-government platform and then, they needed to hold a referendum on Québec’s sovereignty. On November 15th, 1976, the PQ finally won the election and René Lévesque became premier of Québec. Six years had passed since their failed but determined comeback. For many, these six years passed easily but for Lévesque and his inordinate lack of patience, the road to power was too long. He had had far too many obstacles on the way. First, there had been Robert Bourassa who had been with him until he had decided that he did not support Lévesque’s opinions. Bourassa was highly underestimated, for he was actually a difficult politician to beat in an election.

I feel stress is something that can overtake a person when an event or problem happens in their life that becomes difficult for them to handle. However according to Soomo (2014. Chapter one) we learned about the epigenetics of identical twins and how the epigenomes can become affected by environment, health and even stress. These things do change the epigenomes they just trigger signals that turn the epigenomes on and off, which in much later years of life can make identical twins become quite different from each other. According to Soomo (2014. chapter two) we learned about the sympathetic system and how if something alarms you like stress your sympathetic system will increase your heart rate, high pressure, raise your blood sugar (Soomo, 2014) Even prolong effect of stress can cause brain changes that may lend to anxiety, depression, and even addiction (Harvard Health Publishing, 2011). It also works together with the parasympathetic nervous system when stress lessens to create an opposite effect (Soomo,2014).

Stress can build from following a boring daily routine and trying to balance work, social and school life.

Stress is one of the number one causes that contribute to people’s health problems. According to Weber.edu, “in Healthy People 2000, a report from the U.S.

It is scientifically proven that young adults are the most stressful people. Because they run in a really tied schedule that it is cause by school, working full time jobs and others activities. At the age of 18-25 years old people tend to build their future. Long hours of studies and writing are spent in libraries and at school to finish

Stress is part of our lives. We live with it, deal with it, and above all worry about it. Our way of life, the area in which we live, the economy, and our jobs can cause a great deal of stress. Not everyone deals with the same level of stress and there are several factors that can impact our lives and cause us to have higher or lower stress levels. We can have stress caused by Cataclysmic events which according to Feldman (2009) are events that can affect many people at the same time and are “disasters such as tornado and plane crashes, as well as terrorist attacks”. (p418). Other factors are personal stressors and can be caused by events such as a divorce, death or a loved one or the loss of a job. (Feldman, 2009). The

Stress is also linked low fertility in one’s reproductive organs, and can cause problems during pregnancy or one’s menstrual cycle (www.everydayhealth.com). This happens when one is overwhelmed with the stress he or she is going through in their lives. No one person is the same, meaning stressors as well as stress levels differ for each individual. This is why it is hard for scientists to reach the core because it is a subjective sensation related with a variety of symptoms that differ for each of us. Because of this, stress is not always a synonym for distress. Situations like a steep roller coaster ride that cause fear and anxiety for some can prove highly pleasurable for others (www.stress.org). Each person also responds to stress differently. There are numerous physical as well as emotional responses to stress. Stress can cause an ocean of different emotions that are often times unpredictable. It can have wide ranging effects on people’s emotions, mood and behavior (www.stress.org). Stress has said to have been America’s number one leading health problem. It has been shown that stress levels have escalated in children, teenagers, college students and the elderly for reasons that of which have lead to: increased crime, violence, and other threats to personal safety; pernicious peer pressures that lead to substance abuse and other unhealthy life style habits; social isolation and loneliness; the erosion of family and religious
