Stress has many causes, and these causes are most prevalent in our modern society. Three of the most common causes of stress involve events that occur in our lives, our jobs and careers, and our lifestyles in general.
Major life events such as births, deaths, moves, marriages, divorces and any endings or beginnings can cause much major stress (Nelson 70). There are drastic changes that happen periodically in life that measure heavily on the stress scale (71). When family members or friends are seriously ill or have died, those close feel tremendous stress. Divorce, which is usually a highly charged emotional event also is a major stress producer (72). Even happy events can cause a great deal of stress. A birth of a child brings major changes into the parents’ lives and creates a lifelong stress (Henson 74). Marriage brings changes to many lives and stresses not only the bride and groom, but parents, family members and friends as well (75). Major life events can take a toll on our health just as our daily involvement in our jobs.

Divorce, usually a highly charged emotional event, can be a major stress producer (72). Even happy events can cause a great deal of stress. A birth of a child brings major changes into the parents’ lives and creates long term stress (Henson 74). Marriage brings changes to many lives and stresses not only the bride and groom, but parents, family members and friends as well (75). Major life events can take a toll on our health just as our daily involvement in our jobs.
Minor and major stresses are tied to jobs, job related activities and careers (Henson 76). Work with its demands of time and effort inherently causes stress on everyone’s life. The every day grind of work, overtime,
and work related projects can stress us even when we are not at the work place (77). Technology promised tomake work easier, but it has actually created more work and stress since work can now be performed from anywhere at anytime (78). People who work are also stressed by the prospects of unemployment. Fear of losing a job and the income needed to live can be a constant form of stress (Nelson 77). Even a promotion causes stress with change and new demands (78). Ironically, when away from work, we are still under stress caused by the way we live in a modern society.

Even a promotion causes stress with the change and new expectations that follow (78). Ironically, when away from work, we are still under stress caused by the way we live in a modern society.
Modern life styles add a great deal more stress to Americans’ lives. Working parents find less time for family, household, social activities (Stevens 87). Whether both parents work or a single parent struggles to get by, family responsibilities suffer, and this neglect weighs heavily on the parent (88). More stress is added when parents cannot find time for personal enjoyment (89). Additionally, “our consumer society adds greatly to financial stress and worry” (Mason Interview). When people are constantly bombarded with ads, they associate purchasing things with happiness; they always want more. The pursuit of more can lead to debt which in turn leads to long-term stress (Mason Interview). Along with life events and jobs, our modern lifestyle adds to stress with all its negative consequences.
