A critique

The author’s, who wrote this bibliography, main point was ‘stress at work’. He wants readers to know what the causes of job stress are. He emulated some information about causes of job stress that are well-organized and easy to understand. Background knowledge was not pretty much needed because we’ve had experienced about it every day. Moreover, the author stated some examples about job stress in details, and made me feel as if it were real.
One thing I want to criticize, however, is among the examples, one of them was ‘job stress and women’. He agreed with women’s feeling in their workplace where they have to endure mental and physical harassment. Also he said that women usually get stress from unwelcome verbal or physical conduct, and offensive or intimidating behavior. I thought it can be true. On the other hand, I thought that the writer had better write not only women’s but also men’s side. Because men also can have stress from women who don’t want to work same as men. In other words, now the author wrote very well, but if he treated both sides, it could be more perfect without any discontent.

According to Robert Burns in "Unwind‐ 10 Ways to Manage Stress and Improve your Wellbeing" published in 1992 , when stressed, people experience a number of physiological responses and get physical and emotional problems easily.
According to Burns, Physical effects are as follows. “A sudden shock may cause people to sweat, to start trembling, or may faint or even vomit”. (Robert Burns, Unwind, 1992, p.59) He stated that if disorders persist long enough, these may become organic illnesses. In other words, excessive amounts of stress over prolonged periods can lead to serious illness, including heart disease and cancer.(Robert Burns, Unwind, 1992, p.84) Moreover, he showed emotional effects of stress that are including anxiety, depression, hysteria and obsessions.
In this book, Burns suggests some managements of stress, one of them is “Managing your time effectively”.(Robert Burns, Unwind, 1992, p.214) He said that there are main points to remember. One of them is to establish and schedule priorities.(Rubert Burns, Unwind, 1992, p.221) Another one he said is to do the things you want to do. Burns explained that people should increase their time to choose when they can do the things they want to do. Like this way, he gives advice people to manage their time effectively.
