Effects of Peer Pressure
Human beings are social by nature, and this has always affected the relationship between different members of a particular society. While people will always be quick to indicate that whatever they do is intended to fulfill their personal desires, there is always the element of some influence from their peers to some level. For instance, the success of social media in the contemporary society is largely traceable to the influence among peers, in which case people always find it easier to interact with the peers in the environment where they belong. Therefore, if a person’s friends are all using Facebook, then there are high chances that the individual in question will also use Facebook to improve his or her interaction with the said friends.
