How does each person respond to these stimuli?

Teacher Javier Urbina Soria , of the School of Psychology of the UNAM , explains that the stress environmental urban is caused by the living conditions of large cities.

 

The inhabitants of the Federal District, for example, are exposed to stressors such as roadways. congested transport , the pollution atmospheric and visual, noise, overcrowding (excess of people in one place) and poorly planned constructions ".

Several of these factors are part of the day to day in large cities , but each person will respond with stress or not to them, depending on the circumstances and the valuation assigned by the individual.

A person experiences stress as a natural mechanism of the human body to react to potentially dangerous events. Some of the factors that cause it are economic or couple problems, job failure or a bad family relationship.
