We are continually overwhelmed by a huge amount of information � sometimes contradictory � and thus involved in a process which increases at a very rapid pace. The moral principles which were safe guidelines some time ago no longer exist and people feel less and less sure of their own responses.

This inevitably brings about a considerable increase in responsibility, exposing us to constant psychological pressure, fatigue and anxiety. IN MODERN TIMES, STRESS IS AN INTEGRAL PART OF OUR PERSONALITY Stress can no longer be regarded as an anomaly or imbalance because it is now part of our lifestyle.
