In some societies, stress is now regarded as a major problem, and it is thought that people suffer from more stress than they did in the past. However, others feel that the amount of stress people have today is exaggerated. They say that previous generations were under more pressure, but the idea of suffering from stress did not exist. Discuss both these views and give your own opinion.

Stress
is a common word in everybody's life. Some communities believe that currently,
people
are suffering from more
stress
compared to earlier days while some other communities argue with
this
matter and say that, In past days,
people
were very stressed compared to now but they didn't recognize their
stress
. In
this
essay, I will discuss both scenarios and
then
I will give my opinion on
this
matter. On the one side, Presently, In
this
modern era,
people
are getting stressed more due to various reasons.
People
feel
stress
when they feel pressure on their bodies. Mental pressure leads to more
stress
compared to physical
work
pressure. Nowadays, almost every person in
this
world is facing mental pressures which are leading to
stress
problems. Due to advancements in technologies, traffic problems, etc
people
are feeling stressed.
For example
, A person, who is working in a software company needs to
work
more than 10 hours per day in front of a computer system and he/she should wait in traffic to reach his/her home/office. Another good example is, due to pollution
also
people
are facing
stress
. On the other side, Earlier,
people
used to do more physical
work
. By doing physical
work
their body will feel
stress
but they will be recovered by getting some rest and taking healthy
food
. In earlier times,
Food
is fresh and there are no fertilizers.
For instance
, Earlier, mostly every person is a farmer, they will go physical
work
more and eat healthy
food
and
then
they will some sleep to overcome that
stress
. To sum up, In my view I agree with the former statement that compared to earlier days,
people
are feeling more
stress
in
this
modern era.
This
stress
can be overcome by eating healthy
food
, doing regular exercises, etc.
