ACHIEVEMENT OF CHEMISTRY AND ITS CONTRIBUTION TO THE WELL BEING OF HUMANITY

Chronic stress can impact individual perception and thinking in significant ways. Research in cognitive neuropsychology has been particularly helpful in identifying some of these patterns. Psychiatrists at the Dartmouth Medical School have identified certain common styles of thinking present in those who as a result of traumatic stress suffer from chronic life stress (Mueser, Rosenberg, and Rosenberg, 2009, pp. 99-120). These thought patterns, or schemas, shape the individuals perception of the world and have a large degree of negative control over their emotions. The problem with them is that they are inaccurate and destructive thoughts and beliefs. They exacerbate distress rather than alleviate it. For example, such stress-influenced minds have a tendency to catastrophize (worst case scenario), overgeneralize the negative by jumping to conclusions, and think in terms of extremes and absolutes (the world is all bad or Im a failure since Im not perfect). They also overestimate the risk of bad things happening, attribute truth to their feelings (I feel sad, so my life must be hopeless), inaccurately blame themselves when they are not responsible for something, and ignore the positive by focusing strictly on the negative. The person suffering from this kind of stress, therefore, is in ..... This relationship is seen by many researchers as important and mutually beneficial. As one commentator on the relationship between nanotechnology and information technology emphasizes, many electronic devices we see today have nano features that owe their origins to the computer industry. (WHAT IS NANOTECHNOLOGY?) Nanotechnology can therefore be found in products such as, CD and DVD players and inkjet printers. It is this symbiotic relationship between these two technologies that is a central focus of this discussion 2.1. Nanotechnology

Nanotechnology is described as a new technology that had its birth within the information technology wave. (Dewick, Green, and Miozzo) While this technology has enormous potential there are at present still relatively few applications that have been created with nanotechnology. However, some researchers are of the opinion that, although nanotechnology's most pervasive impacts seem some way off, probably after 2020, it is likely that some nanotechnology products will make an impact on the industrial scene before then. (Dewick, Green, and Miozzo) In essence nanotechnology is understood as the technology of designing, fabricating and applying nanosystems. A nanosysytem is a system that is synthesised to a nanometre scale (Kurup P.) The term nanotechnology comes from the Greek word
