Overwhelming effect of Pressure to human existence
Before anything can be said on this, there is need for conceptual clarification of the term "pressure".
According to Merriam Webster dictionary, pressure is the application of force to something by something else in direct contact with it.
We are being driven by pressure through so many sources. One of the major sources of pressure is from our immediate parents. Our environment is another one while the other one takes it source from our friend which we can also call peer pressure.
There are two types of pressure which is gotten from the result of the effect of any of the major sources of pressure mentioned above. They are: Negative pressure and Positive pressure.
1. Negative pressure : As the name implies "negative" means lacking good qualities. There are many pressures driven by any of the earlier mentioned sources which may yield negative results. The result of the pressure may be caused by two major circumstances. The first might be misinterpretation of the purpose of the pressure by the pressured or the method adopted by the pressurer might be responsible for the negativity of the result of the pressure. For example, a parent punishing a child by denying him/her some of the compulsory rights such as feeding, or maltreatment. Some children might run away from the house thereby exposing him/her to negative behaviours inorder to survive. Even the one denied of food may even get better offer from where he/she shouldn't have gotten when hunger starts to strike and he/she couldn't get the food in his/her comfort zone.
In another case, some people are negatively pressurized by their environment or friends they choose. Pressure in some cases are not physical(through action) but behavioral and at times hereditary. For instance, a community filled with thugs have the potential of breeding more thugs due to frustration or something else. Also, a family where the parents don't value education may not have the potential of producing graduates.
In the aspect of showing me your friend and me responding by telling you who you are is also a kind of pressure. When you walk with friends that have no positive vision then their will be negative result since the pressure is negative.
2. Positive pressure: it's the pressure with good results. As i have earlier said that the three sources of pressure may cause negative results, so also, these three sources are very important in determining the positive effect of pressure. Pressure by any of the sources outlined will be responsible for some genuine students graduating from there respective higher institutions. One or more of the sources will also be responsible for the success of some genuine businessmen/women. Positive records settings are even due to one source of pressure or another. Each stage in life of a human being is born out of pressure.
The pressured will also determine the result of the pressure. There are so many successful men/women who have been negatively pressured but turned the effect of the pressure around and are one of the best of their kind. There are also some people that have been pressured positively but couldn't utilise the positivity of the pressure and are paying dearly for it and are saying "had i know"
Every stage in life is driven by pressure which at times we might not see. We can get to a even better position than the best we thought we are in if we utilise the effect of the pressure well. Pressure is being applied on workers of some organizations which the result will definitely be promotion. Some pressure by some other organizations too are always harsh but at the end promotion will fall into place if the pressure is met.
Life itself is pressure, we tend to use or buy the good things our friends, neighbours, families are using or buying, this is pressure on its own. But we shouldn't allow pressure to make us do what we shouldn't do because when you do what you shouldn't do in the name of being pressured then positive pressure has been turned negative through the result.
