Join the Club: How Peer Pressure Can Transform the World
Is
a book written by Tina Rosenberg and mainly focuses on peer pressure. How peer
presure affects our daily lifes and also how it can be part of our behaviour
and changes.
The
better thing to do is fighting bad peer presure with good one. So for example
let peer pressure help people quit smoking, alcohol, drugs, gambling, fighting fear
and worry, jelausy, egoism, pesimism, stress etc. Rosenberg tells us cases when
social community has positive results.
Not
only peer presure affects us in transforming the world, also political and
economical factors affects us on beeing part of different peer entities and
also our dreams and passions too(as we have discussed about our genes that
affect our behaviour and abilities to change).
I
would say that with the technology that has comed today also social networking
can be considered as peer pressure in a way because your friends and colleagues
are part of it. Have you ever been requested to be friend with someone on
facebook you don’t wanted to be? So you are under pressure to accept or ignore
it, because later you will confront with this person etc.
p.s.
Yes, I also agree that social networks are one of the main pressures in today’s world. Let’s take facebook as an example. Every friend of ours is putting in his/her profile photos of the best vacation he/she has ever had. This puts us into a lot of pressure if we have not been on vacation in beautiful foreign countries. As another example I want to say that I went to Mallorca for the summer holidays. One of the main reasons for going there was that one of my friends posted on his facebook status that he had gone to Ibiza.
