Hans Selye wrote that many different environmental stressors lead to a three-stage physiological reaction called the general adaptation syndrome. Create your own example of an environmental stressor and then provide details of each of the three stages

What will be an ideal response?

Answer: A good answer will include the following key points. Examples will vary.
? Example: A person living in a country that is at war is faced with constant danger and threat of death.
? The alarm phase of the general adaptation syndrome might occur when a bomb goes off nearby or they hear nearby gunfire. They would experience the initial stress response (fight-or-flight).
? As they continue to be exposed to such stressors on a daily basis, they would enter the resistance phase, where they would try to cope with the war and the danger.
? Eventually they reach the exhaustion phase when the persistent stress has depleted the body of energy, and they can no longer cope successfully with the threat.
