What is allostasis?

In 1988, Peter Sterling and Joseph Eyer of the University of Pennsylvania named the homeostatic process allostasis in the Handbook of Life Stress, Cognition, and Health. Allostasis is the mind/brain and body’s ability to achieve stability through and despite change. This dynamic process is critical for your survival.

Any threat or change triggers an allostatic stabilizing response. Like a rocking teeter-totter, the allostatic process is in constant motion, responding to change and threat. This occurs whether the changes and threats are real or not and whether you are consciously aware of them or not.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
