http://www.scribd.com/doc/11530124/Burnout E/C Web Review I found this article explaining the cycle, causes, and symptoms of burnout-out to be very helpful. It clearly presents warning signs so that people can try to recognize those signs in themselves and others and attempt to get help. The article reflects how burn-out mirrors itself in all aspects of your life. I learned how serious burn-out can actually be and many serious implications it can have on a person’s life. Potter presents this material as a downward spiral that must be stopped before it gains momentum. However, one concept I would change about this article is to add a solution. Dr. Potter clearly explains how to recognize burn-out, but she does not explain how to cope with it. I believe that this site is extremely relevant for all high school students. In a fast-paced world, juggling hours of homework, sports schedules, and a social life can take a serious toil on the students. Yet this site addresses many of those issue and could be a wake-up call to many. It can help prevent students from working themselves to the point of exhaustion or sickness |
