Abstract
James Baldwin once said, "Not everything that is faced can be changed. But nothing can be changed until it is faced." There have been great movements throughout time based on change. Recently, however, grand movements of change (such those seen throughout the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries wherein entire nations of peoples have rebuilt every facet of their lives) have withered down to more individually-focused movements. Improving oneself has become the main focus of today's members of society. In an age focused on the individual, there is a realization that making changes in individuals becomes as multifaceted as the subjects themselves. With issues varying from the mass media's portrayal of 'beautiful people' to the everyday struggle for 'keeping up with the Jones', it is now, more than ever, easy to see how one can become stressed. And, as many researchers have noted, stress leads inevitably to certain individual changes; whether they be behavioral or psychological.
