The Causes of Stress
It's hard to find a person without any stress in our society today. Regardless of sex and age, stress is so commonplace that it has become a way of life for many people living in this society. The bad thing is that stress may bring depression or tiredness or even severe health problems. In my opinion, to actually eradicate stress, people need to know what exactly lead to it. In fact, a lot of things can cause stress. But most of all, I strongly think financial problems, work, and personal irritations are the biggest causes of stress in modern society.
The first cause of stress is financial problems. I have no doubt that this is the number one source of stress these days. People are not able to do what they want to do if they suffer from lack of money. Some people may be stressed by major purchases they have to make such as a house or car. Others are stressed by a loss of income or credit card payments or mounting debts. The worst thing here is that financial stress has the possibility to eventuate in bankruptcy. While college students get stress over expensive tuition and other costs paying for an education, Baby Boomers and seniors find that retirement income can be a major cause of stress. Without financial difficulties, we cannot talk about stress.
Work is another main cause of stress. It's closely related to financial problems. Stress of work can be stress from getting a job or stress from workplaces. If college graduates are asked what their biggest worry is, most of them would say finding a job. They worry about getting and keeping adequate employment. At workplaces, employees may be worried about their next promotion or frustrating behavior of their bosses. Also, they might be under stress because of prospect of losing their job. In fact, people always worry about climbing a career ladder and having new responsibilities. The jobs or careers seem to cause constant stress to people.
Finally, there are those annoyances and irritations that people encounter in daily lives. They may include financial and work problems, which I mentioned above, but they are wider and more related to personal things. I, for example, get so irritated when a bus comes so late in the morning and it becomes like a stress to me. Many people may have same experiences as mine. Problems in workplace, too much workload, not enough sleep, not enough time to relax, can turn to be stress. More trivial things such as being late for class or forgetting to meet friends for lunch can also be the sources of stress. People deal with those annoyances and irritations every day.
Nowadays, the number of people who suffer from stress is uncountable. The major causes of stress are considered to be financial problems, work, and everyday irritations. People must remember that gaining knowledge of the leading causes of stress is important. Using that knowledge to win over unhealthy stress is vital. To break out of the daily stresses, you should start by identifying what really causes your stress.
First, I like your specific classification of each main causes like stress from work -getting a job or workplaces-. This makes me understand clearly about what you're trying to say. And, I like this sentence 'People are not able to do what they want to do if they suffer from lack of money.' I think it's quite a good analysis. And lots of examples are also good..
ReplyDeleteThings that I want you to reconsider are about your conclusion and words. Restatement of thesis sentence is just same as the sentence in the introduction. I think it would be much better if you give changes on it. And 'words', I mean, I think you wrote 'stress' too much in this essay. You can write another term instead of it or just delete it to avoid unnecessary redundancy.
