THE CLUB
Join the Club-Tina Rosenberg begins from the premise that people and societies, often act in flagrantly
illogical fashion, engaging in risky behavior and being unable to change -
often for structural or societal reasons. "Think for a moment about a
cigarette" tells Rosenberg –I believe this is the most significant example
of peer pressure. Almost no one enjoys that first cigarette - you have to get
used to it. It would be difficult to design a less attractive product. Still
millions of people smoke. People are constantly being manipulated into engaging
in behavior that does not serve their interests.
As it goes with cigarettes, so with everything else.
But I think peer pressure can affect both negative and
positive actions.

YanıtlaSilI agree that peer pressure can affect both negatively and positively in our actions. To benefit from it, I think it is a bit “idealistic”.
YanıtlaSilSocieties also manipulate for good things near bad habits. We also should think that moral values are also learnt from the society.
