Overall Meaning

The song is a mix of blues and reggae musical styles. The lyrics are about a man begging a woman not to leave him. The refrain "You don't have to go" is used throughout the song to reinforce this plea. The opening line "Oh oh oh oh oh oh" is a distinctive hook that characterizes the song.

The song is full of emotion, with the singer conveying a sense of desperation to keep his lover from leaving. He mentions the tears he has cried, and how much he loves her, begging her to stay. The lyrics are simple but effective, with the repetition of the refrain drawing the listener in and reinforcing the message of the song.

The title of the song "D'yer Mak'er" is a play on words, transcribing the phrase "did you make her?" in a strong Jamaican accent. It is a term often used by British reggae fans to mock the Jamaican patois. The song was initially released as an album track, but it became a hit when released as a single in 1973.

Worksheet on Stress Video - I hope someone finds this and makes use of it :)

1. According to the video, where in our bodies do we gain weight when we are stressed? How is this fat different from the other fat in the body?

We gain fat in the abdomen and it is special because it produces different hormones altering the effect it has on your health even further.

2. In Robert Sapolsky’s research on monkeys, there was a tragedy which occurred that changed the group’s dynamic forever. What happened to the group and who was affected?

The baboon troop got infected with tuberculosis after eating bad meat, however the dominant males were the ones mainly affected. This meant the females and timid males were the only ones left, changing the group to be much more passive and far less hostile.

3. What did the video say about social dominance and those who are lower on the hierarchy? How are each affected?

People that are lower on the social pyramid suffer higher stress levels from things like lack of control. This can cause bodies to be much less efficient and it can even lower immune systems leading to shorter lives.

4. Name three specific ways that stress affects our bodies/brain according to the video

One way stress affects our bodies is by forcing us to only power the essentials like our senses. This can cause other functions like the reproductive system or the immune system to shut down. The immune system shutting down increases risk of disease and even death.
The system that controls our metabolism also slows causing us to gain stress weight. This stress fat also provides hormones that have a worse effect than normal fat.
Our brains are affected because stress can lead us to different types of memory loss, poor blood flow, and flat out stupidity. These can make it even harder to get out of unnecessary long-term stress.

5. According to the video, what causes ulcers?

Primarily a type of bacteria. However most of us have this bacteria so it's the stress that lowers our immune system’s walls allowing the bacteria to take over.

I actually have two x husband's and one has passed but i will tell you they both were high strung people on the go all the time and would insenuate that i was lazy although i kept a spic and span home but they both ended up with high blood pressure and one has past from an accidental fall but he was on two different BP meds so I've been lucky in that department so far at least but I'm glad im a very calm person because it does make a difference and i run a very peaceful home.

@@yvonnekerezman6144 I'm sorry to hear about the troubles from your past and I'm glad to hear you recognize and appreciate your calm nature now, which allows you to live a more peaceful life. Reading your comment really validated the stress and burden I feel in not wanting more in life, or at least not wanting to be so busy. This semester, I returned to school for the first time in nearly two years. During my break and my time since returning, I have tried to console myself, saying you don't have to be on the same path as others or it's okay to be different. But this whole time, I still blame myself for not wanting to be as ambitious or driven. I kept asking myself why I didn't want more from life. While I know there are more reasons that underlie why I don't, I feel a bit better from this video and your experience that I don't have to be so serious or so worried about my achievements in life. I know there is a lot I have to work through (with my own trauma), but thank you for making me feel like I'm a bit normal. Haha, and I'm sorry to dump all of this.

Sapolsky's most impactful finding and philosophical statement comes at 48:00... "We belong to multiple hierarchies. And you may have the worst job in your corporation—and no autonomy and control and predictability—but you're the captain of the company softball team that year, and you better bet you are going to have all sorts of psychological means to decide it's just a job—9 to 5—that's not what the world is about. What the world is about is softball; 'I'm the head of my team, people look up to me.' And you come out of that deciding you are on top of the hierarchy that matters to you."

Stress is one of the most recognized factors of total health, and can be the elephant in the room when it comes to a variety of chronic diseases. Health professionals typically keep stress management to vague notions of "taking it easy", "try meditation", "sleep more"... while these textbook remarks fit standard of care of medicine, they still leave the average person no practical steps to live by. I think it's important to organize a practical, simple step by step approach that is personalized.

Love your work! Thank you for sharing - stress plays such a critical role in health and wellness. Being a dog trainer, I like to study stress because it's something I always try to minimise when developing training protocols.

Wow, we'd not seen this before and it seems to have been made quite a while ago.

Very eye opening indeed. It's a shame only 384,000 people have viewed this video.

It might look like a big number but it's tiny compared to how many people are negatively affected by stress and the millions it costs our economies each year.

At least this documentary aids in our mission to raise awareness that stress is a huge problem and that there are ways to reduce it's impact on individuals and companies so we can all live better.

@catlogic7934

Yes. One of the best suggestions in the video is to give to others. No matter how low you are on the totem pole at work, you can make your life meaningful by contributing to others - tutor kids, help feed the poor, donate your time, set up a feral cat organization. Like they said about being captain of the local baseball team, you focus on your outside-of-work life, understand that there's more to life than your job, become somebody important in your own social circle. And love each other.

i show this to my 9th graders but i break it up and explain parts. i think it helps but i wish i could show it to senior and junior students. i feel like they get it more. i think as an adult it showed me what matters is the hierarchy that matters is what i have control over. The feeling of control you have and how you perceive the stressors shows you have the control. it lowers your stress

There's another way too,no matter how your world is,its your choice/way that you react to it that governs your condition,simply being recognized or valued is not enough,we over time burden our self with a whole spectrum of conditioning,we can sit alone and allow that conditioning to influence us,therefore never allowing our self to just be and settled/at ease,if our surroundings/social structure has so much influence on us,then not allowing it to have influence,has the same benefits.

@TheAGODAMI

This doc is pretty dope, goes into a lot of the science behind stress, and it's relationship to the brain's production of norepinephrine (fight or flight). Well worth a watch.

@PetadeAztlan

11y↑2

I found this a very fascinating Video and am glad it is available @YouTube. I made a lot of connections with the prevalence of stress in human society, the different hierarchies we live with often without conscious awareness and how stress impacts heavily on our personal relationships in life. We need to see the positive and negative qualities of stress in our lives and aim to maximize positive stress and minimize negative stress. Seek progress more than the endless pursuit of perfection.

Although I do concur on my opinion of Sapolsky. I do respect him more knowing he actually goes out in the wild and collects the samples himself as was shown in this documentary.

For everyone, actually. We are ALL going to experience stress at some point in our lives....perhaps even intensely and/or chronically. Our quality of life, health, and longevity outcomes depend on resiliency.

in america ppl are stressed partly cuz they work more than they want, in conditions they dont like, and get paid less than their worth. another thing which is gonna stress ppl out is environmental destruction resulting in declining food productions and clean water supplies, not to mention pollution

@wertrocks123

10y↑8

Shut the fuck up Americans are the most priveledged, self-entitled and deluded people on earth, followed closely by the english (I should know I am one). Life aint easy full stop. It's not supposed to be. You need to rid yourself of that destructive American mentality you have. Seriously, you think Americans have it bad? Literally everywhere else has it worse. You've no right to complain.

i dont have an american mentality, what i said was very anti capitalist and pro worker control. thats a mentality that has been driven out of americans minds. americans are certainly not the most privileged, theres alot of european countries which do it better. england is better than america, but not much.

@thomasthetans

10y↑4

Not trying to attack you but really this is why older generations of Americans feel that the younger ones are the "entitled" generation. Yeah we're stressed, but its not just work its our education system as well, and basically our whole way of life. We don't get paid less, and don't use the wage gap because that was proven to be a myth. But the fact that young Americans were told that if they went to school they would make all this money, and when they get out of school they are engulfed with debt, and working at an entry level job because in real life not all degrees lead to a lot of money. What conditions in work do people not like? I am curious because this isn't the early 20th century or so. We don't have a declining food production, or clean water supplies. In case you haven't read on many scientific advancements of gmo foods, and water purifier straws. The problem isn't working its what we the American people put so much into our government, and education based on lies and self entitlement.

Obviously Mr Sapolsky is much smarter than me, and I do agree with many of the things he says on this topic. But I can personally say my life was much less stressful when things were much simpler, and at that point in my life I had no desire to be in the upper hierarchy. I feel not everyone is cut out for that. I think you can be happy at the lower level, but each person is different.

@lindakautzman7388

what you say is exactly the main take away lesson of this video..surprised you missed the message that you agree with.

@Nick23at63

@@lindakautzman7388 - Okay, my comment was from over 4 years ago, so it is sorta hard to remember the exact reasons for my post. So I watched the video again to see if something jogged my memory. The message of the video, the point you said I missed, came at around the 50 minute mark. I'm pretty sure I gave up on the video before that point, since the theme up till then was social hierarchy was what determined your stress level. Social hierarchy has perks that can put you in a better position to be happy, but it isn't the reason you have stress or not.

Recently at work, I underwent a six-month period of high stress: change of duties, closer supervision, faster pace, heavier workload, more hours per week, and so forth. I didn't realize the increased level of stress until the period ended. During that time, my type-2 diabetes came under control for the first time since it was diagnosed three years earlier. I think the difference stemmed from my *enjoying* the stressful activities and from the increased physical rate the new work required.
