Throughout the novel Brave New World by Aldous Huxley, there are numerous allusions to surveillance of individuals. However, an interesting property of the surveillance state is that it relies heavily on the fear of reprisal from other citizens. For example, in the new world, those who spend time alone or participate in monogamous relationships are chastised by fellow citizens and reprimanded by the government. Although this may appear to be a far cry from our world, there are numerous parallels that can be drawn between the two.…

There was a study trying to pinpoint the effects of stress on twenty college students, and three categories were identified: positive mental health effects, negative mental health effects, and negative physical health effects (Peer et al., 2015, p. 94).
