The lecture aims at introducing students and guide them on how to deal with stress and university challenges and provide psychological support for them to overcome these pressures.
Aweida explained the concept of values, which means a set of principles, teachings and ethical controls that determine the behavior of the individual. Pointing out that one of the most important reasons for the pressure is that the person does something that he or she is not aware of and this pressure generates an inability to accomplish.
