On Saturday morning I walked out of the house with my older sister about to head off somewhere for the day when I came across my retired neighbour Anne, bending down scrubbing all outside her house , we stopped and talked and she had told me that a group of kids came along and egged her house last night, She asked 'What has happend to society nowadays'?, after refusing our help we continued on with the rest of the day. We were driving back into Carrick later that evening and as we were doing so came across groups of people that are younger than all of us in this room , sitting outside businesses throwing rubbish everywhere , cursing at those who walked past and even starting arguments with those in the group.
'Peer pressure' -is the direct influence on people by peers , or an individual who gets encouraged to follow their peers by changing their attitudes , values, or behaviour to conform to those of the influencing group or individual. That is one of the answers to the Anne's question 'What has happend to society nowadays?'.
How are kids supposed to make morally correct decisions while they witness the horrific events that are occurring within our society and world today? Kids are now growing up being so heavily influenced by their peers that many now believe that it is okay not to have manners , that it is socially acceptable to deliberately cause harm and upset to others.
And these are the people that are to come after us.
