1.    Define stress by giving an example and discussing the psychological conflict at hand (the stressor) and its physiological and psychological impacts.
2.    Demonstrate your understanding of Selye’s General Adaptation Syndrome model of stress by providing an example of each of the stress stages.
3.    Give an example of eustress and discuss how it impacts the body psychologically and physically.
