From the list of stressors that we has to choose from I have personally never experienced any of the stressors. I know that my grandmother had experienced racism while growing up and when she was alive she never talked about it so I do not know how it affected her.
A country that I chose to write about that is experiencing a stressor right now is Haiti. A lot of people are dying in Haiti from cholera. Cholera is an infection of the small intestine that is caused by contaminated drinking water or food. The symptoms of Cholera are diarrhea and vomiting. Children are dying from this preventable and treatable disease. Save the Children is an organization that is in Haiti education children and their families on cholera. They are providing them with information on washing their hands with soap, boiling water, and seeking medical support at the first sign of illness. They have also set up cholera treatment units, distributed chlorinated water to schools, trucking water to camps and distributing chemicals for water treatment.
