Week 2 Class 1

The research that I had conducted over the break between classes consisted of:

 - Assisting with decision making after high school

 - Promoting a positive body image

 - Encouraging more socialisation

 - Improving time management

I found that some of the topics that I had looked into were not specific enough, I needed to define the topics through defining the target audience and the issue/background.

Talking to other people, I built on the 'encouraging more socialisation' topic and thought of it from a different view. I thought about Stress and the issue, and socialisation as the action.

Choosing a partner, Georgia's topic was similar to mine, but really stood out to me over the others because it talking about worrying about the small things in life, which is an interesting topic.

Looking more into it I discovered that the name for stressing about the small things in life is 'cumulative stress'. I looked into the biological affects on the brain from the build up of stress, causing erosion in parts of the brain and weakening it to the affects of larger, more significant stresses.
