Our hard-wired stress response is designed to gives us the quick burst of heightened alertness and energy needed to perform our best. But stress isn’t all good. When activated too long or too often, stress can damage virtually every part of our body. Sharon Horesh Bergquist gives us a look at what goes on inside our body when we are chronically stressed.

RSA Replay: Our Health: Who Cares?

source: The RSA     2015年10月19日
We’re living longer, and with chronic and lifestyle-related diseases on the rise, our healthcare systems are struggling to increase access and quality of care while more effectively managing escalating costs.
At the same time, there’s a growing need for people to find new ways to take control of their personal health – including ways to be healthy, to live well, and to care for themselves and their families at home.
We all know that prevention is better than cure and understand the need for active health management, but despite this, when it comes to our health, we are a nation that buries its head in the sand.
Leading healthcare company Philips has recently carried out a major Picture of Health survey into the nation’s health experiences and attitudes, and the findings show that there is a clear gap between what we know we should do and what we are doing.
How then do we motivate people to care more about their own health and in doing so, enable individuals to make the right choices?

The Girls of War in 1914 and 2014: The Evolution of the Protection Racket

source: Harvard University      2015年10月23日
How have gender roles in war changed over the last century? As women have openly joined militaries and paramilitary organizations, the roles of women in service have advanced and diversified. In the United States, the Combat Exclusion Policy was recently lifted to allow women to serve in frontline combat and complete combat operations. Despite increasing numbers of countries beginning to expand the role of women in their militaries, an analysis comparing the U.S. media coverage of British girls in World War I and the #BringBackOurGirls campaign in 2014 suggests that significations of girls as wars’ innocent, hapless victims in need of men’s protection remain prominent in media outlets. This seminar revisits Sue Rae Peterson’s (1977) idea of the ‘protection racket’ to analyze the current status of women in 21st century war and conflict.
