How can peer pressure affect lifestyle?

We are all prone to follow the direction of the group and most Americans follow a diet that is popular and unhealthy. Does following the crowd give you an excuse to resist change? It is a factor for some people.

They want to fit in, and will be uncomfortable eating differently because they believe they will be rejected by their reference group. This perceived loss of status from being different can create a subconscious resistance, presenting another obstacle to change. This is an irrational response; following the crowd does not lead to enhanced status or self-respect.

Quite the opposite; doing what you think is right will increase your self-esteem and emotional well-being. It is unfortunate that an unhealthy lifestyle and a disease-causing diet gains the psychological advantage as it certainly is more popular. But remember, you can lead the crowd; you can change things around for your social circle.

By your example, you not only may save your own life, but you also may save someone else's life that you really care about.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
