Yes, Aran, Unfortunately, there is social pressure in most cultures and these depend on the vision that the people have about what is right and wrong; It is more frequent in conservative societies based on moral or religious concepts that want to impose a certain way of thinking.

An example of positive pressure is that people in Nicaragua value having a job or studying at the university as something positive; but consider something negative if the person does not form a family at a certain age or has a different lifestyle.

Aran:
In my country, peer pressure also happens. Maybe, it could be more obvious in a town, school, specifics groups, companies, etc. Some times it could be in a positive way or accepted by the group. For example, In my master degree group, we are 54 people sharing a stressful environment of hard studies and my classmates, mainly men, and when we felt confident each other, they began to bullying or making jokes to someone every days we got funny jokes of someone classmate, but this not offensive or hurt feelings anyone. Of course, we had negative peer pressure, like for example the excessive alcohol they drunk on weekend, I haven´t never drank alcohol at that time and I felt peer pressure about that.

Peer pressure exists in every culture, it can be i a positive or negative way. An example of peer pressure in a negative way can be doing drugs because sometimes even if you came from a ''good'' family with good values peer pressure can make you do this bad things that affect your entire life, but I think that in these cases you should use your common sense and think about the consecuenses of your actions.

As I said, peer pressure can be positive or negative because there are some social groups that push you to do better in any aspect of your life, or they can make ypu pr cheer you up to do or start something new and positive, it can also be the opposite.

Hello Aran, as I know peer pressure exist in every culture, in every country, that's something that happens in all ages.
In my country, for example exist peer pressure in this cases:
1. Needing to dress or act a certain way.
2. Cheating or copying someone else's work or letting others copy your work.
3. Not including certain people in social activities.
4. Using drugs or alcohol
5. Encouraging a peer to fight or bully someone.
As I said, all of them are situations that can happen in every culture or every country, even in all ages.
For me, peer pressure can be possitive or negative, depends on how you see that or how you react to that. For example, if someone peer pressure on you to do something you don't want or you don't feel comfortable with, you should go away from there. But on the contrary if you feel that all the peer pressure push you to do something that can help you improve on something you want, you should try and do it, if you feel comfortable with.

Hi Aran! Yes, I defenitely think that peer pressure is common in every culture. I'm from Nicaragua and one of the examples I have about peer pressure, specificaly in my professional group, is related to time management. Because in our department we have an amount of cases to evaluate per week and when someone is completing their cuota faster than the others, everyone feels peer pressure and starts working harder to finish early. I think sometimes peer pressure pushes us to make right things and improve some behaviors. However, there are many times where people is negativetly affected by this, for example, if someone wants to fit in a group where everybody do drugs, they will do the same just to feel accepted by the gruop. Even though there are positive and negative things about peer pressure, my biggest advice is: be yourself, think before doing something and take responsability of your actions.

Hi Aran, peer pressure is not always bad, I have realized that it can help make small changes, for example, in networks there is peer pressure for supporting pet shelters, imagine that a few weeks ago I visited a shelter in Jinotepe and it is It is incredible to feel the pressure to support, seek sponsorships and be able to collaborate. Another positive peer pressure is seeing support groups on networks that encourage people not to throw garbage on the beaches, something that personally seems incredible to me.
