3. At an individual level, people operate in various
levels of awareness. These levels can be best
described by illustrating the differences
between each with regards to a particular
situation, for example, driving.
4. • Tuned out – this level of awareness is similar
to driving in a familiar environment and being
engrossed in thought or a song playing on the
radio.

5. • Relaxed – consider this level of awareness
similar to defensive driving: you're
comfortable while driving but also aware of
other vehicles on the road.
6. • Focused – at this level, you are driving in
potentially dangerous situations and need to
keep both hands on the wheel and attention
on the road ahead.
7. • High alert – it's an awareness level that brings
about an adrenaline rush and a gasp for air
because the driver in front doesn’t stop at the
sign.
8. • Comatose – this is the level of awareness that
happens when you freeze and become unable
to respond to stimuli, either because you are
afraid or have fallen asleep.
