Pre-Discussion 2.2 Quiz

In The Stress-Proof Brain, Dr. Melanie Greenberg describes how stress can compromise and harm the human body. She writes: If a stressor persists for more than a few minutes, your hypothalamus signals your pituitary gland to release adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH). ACTH signals your adrenal glands to release cortisol. Cortisol elevates your blood sugar and stimulates your liver to produce glucose, which is used by your brain to support attention and alertness. It prepares your organs to withstand stress, pain, or injury. Cortisol also suppresses non-emergency functions related to digestion, reproduction, growth, and resistance to disease. If cortisol sticks around for too long, the resultant immune-system suppression makes you more vulnerable to infection. This is why you're more likely to get sick if you're chronically stressed.

In The Gifts of Imperfection, Brené Brown discusses the necessity of enforced boundaries in order to practice compassion; she argues that unenforced boundaries can result in someone feeling unappreciated—and, as a result, acting from a place of anger, versus compassion. Brown writes: When we fail to set boundaries and holding people accountable, we feel used and mistreated. This is why we sometimes attack who they are, which is far more hurtful than addressing a behavior or a choice. For our own sake, we need to understand that it's dangerous to our relationships and our well-being to get mired in shame and blame, or to be full of self-righteous anger. If we are going to practice acceptance and compassion, we need boundaries and accountability. (19) Read the student samples below and decide which one(s) contain(s) plagiarism.
