UNDER PRESSURE


Being under pressure to do things that isn’t what you want to do is apart of the world’s culture. I think that in America it attacks at all different angles. Pressure in America is also seen through all different age groups. It is preventable and also avoidable.
In the American culture pressure is apart of everyday life weather we know it or not. I believe that it comes at us all the time. In the American culture not everyone can understand the strain of hard pressure, because they are the interrogators of pressure. Everyone could be applying pressure to someone eventually, with out knowing it.
Pressure comes to us in many different forms. I think that being under pressure to do something that we don’t want to do, is the biggest strike. Also being under pressure caused by ones self is another form of pressure.
When you are putting yourself under pressure, people around you can usually notice. When you are pressuring yourself to do things you know is wrong it causes stress. When you add your own stress to a situation that’s when pressure builds up. When you build pressure on yourself it causes outside problems. By taking time to dilute your self inflicted stress, you could prevent migraines. Checkout Mayoclinic.com for information on pressure related stress.
Being under pressure that other people cause is much more difficult to prevent but it is avoidable. When people are being put under pressure they could be doing it on purpose. People get put under pressure for many different things. Such as sex, drugs, alcohol, fashion, sporting activities, school, and more. When being told to do something that you don’t feel you need to do, it can cause pressure. Being asked questions that can lead to things that are wrong, it could cause pressure. Having the best grades but its not good enough, can cause pressure. Also having bad grades and being told to be better than you can do, causes pressure. All of these pressure causing situations will occur eventually. Being able to relieve stress from pressure causing situations is a better way to live with less pressure.
All different age groups are attacked by pressure. From infancy through adulthood we are all under pressure at some time. Babies receive pressure from their parents to be the best. Children are under pressure by peers to be in certain sports and join clubs. Teens are under pressure to try things that could lead to a rough life style. Adults are under pressure to do all they can do for other people, and fend for themselves. Every age group is prone to pressure eventually because that is that is the American culture we live in.

  4. If our society as a whole took life a whole lot less seriously, stopped letting the little things in life bother them, and just take a breather whenever something bad happens, I have a hunch that not only would our quality of life rise, but the years we are alive would as well.

  7. I think stress can be a dual edged sword. It can cause nervousness to the point of a mental breakdown or it can motivate us to finally achieve what we can do.

  8. We all need to just relax, but it's a hard thing to do, which is why there is so much pressure and stress!

  9. The members of a society end up working themselves too hard and too much to produce products which are advertised to make consumers feel less self esteem if they dont have as much as other people. It's the "keeping up with the Jones'" that stress people out. i love this post!
