Analyzing Stressors in a Scenario
Read the following scenario:
Alex is a university student facing a challenging week. A major final exam is scheduled for tomorrow, but the unreliable internet at their apartment is making it difficult to access study materials. On top of this, Alex just had a tense argument with their roommate over shared cleaning duties. To complicate matters further, Alex's parents called to announce they will be moving to a different state immediately after Alex graduates.
Based on this scenario, identify three distinct events or situations that could be considered potential stressors for Alex. For each one you identify, explain why it qualifies as a stimulus that could initiate a stress response.
