This class helps students understand their own stress responses as they learn the role stress has played in human evolution. Interesting topics include: -human brain evolution & anatomy -how fight & flight and other stress responses (controlled by older parts of the brain) have helped humans survive -the role of the newer 'thinking brain' and how it can mitigate fight & flight responses Students will also consider the impacts of stress (good and bad) in modern life and learn a few ways to apply what they have learned to manage stress skillfully in their own lives. We'll end with a fun debate about the pros and cons of video games (:
