CHAPTER 2:
Social Pressures
What is SOCIAL PRESSURE?
It is the influence that is exerted on a person or group by another person or group. It includes rational argument, persuasion, conformity and demands. (Psychology dictionary)
Peer pressure
Peer pressure is a social pressure that causes individuals mostly teens in doing something they have never done or don’t usually do. Peer pressure can affect the family because there will be changes in attitudes from a member. Certain indications like when a girl has been pressured to have sex with her boyfriend and he has invited her to a party to do it; her mother says no and her attitude arises from that once peaceful quiet angel to a devil of darkness. Peer pressure can destroy families if influenced in a negative way. Not all peer pressure is a sure bad influence. Some peer pressure like churches and Christians on fire for Christ can help a person to want to be better. Also a smart person who is getting good grades could pressure you to do so as well.
Unemployment
Unemployment is common among the Bahamian society. Many struggle with the lack of a job to sustain living. This social pressure is a very serious one, this can affect the way a family may have to live or is presently living. Parents not being able to provide for their children and themselves become stressed and hurt. This is truly a load or burden so much as a pressure.
Lack of finance
Lack of finance is common amongst impoverished groups here in the Bahamas. These are the people with low income jobs who find it hard to sustain a living. This affects the family because each individual will desire to have things that a common middle class person may have, and will not be able to obtain it because they simply can’t afford it. Lack of finance is a problem too because it causes crime in the country; many people are robbing at gunpoint; selling drugs to get this money and hustling on the streets. All this because a mother could not afford to by
