Consider some of the social pressures that you think may shape your behavior and personal image. List the images most commonly associated with the categories or ‘boxes’ you have already listed in Activity 1.
How have you responded to social pressures to conform by adopting an appearance that relates to the categories that you feel you have placed in or have chosen?
In the first activity, out of all the words listed to be defined in this generation, 'Personality' has the most to do with social pressures today. What we like or what our interests are, what we do or what we say, and what we think or how we act makes up who we are and our personality. And all of those things are very easily influenced by the people around us. A way that I have responded to social pressure is looking at the larger picture. This might be the biggest and most important four years of my life, but realistically, high school isn't all that important when it comes to social pressures, yet it's hard to see it that way when you're living in that time frame. But I try my hardest to always see it this way, to not let what other people think about me, and what I like, or what I wear, or what I say, or what I do affect me, because their opinion is irrelevant and I know who I am and what I;m capable of.
Everyone should know their value, and have confidence in themselves, and believe they are greater than what anyone else might think. I think people should make that a social pressure; being confident and be an individual with your own morals and beliefs and goals, stop being each
other.
