Describe a situation in which a choice you made was influenced by societal pressures.

I was forced to get married.

Explanation:

Societal pressure are expectations put upon somebody that affect their way of behavior. The expectation are usually tied to a community one lives in, their employment situation or their religion.

I'm not against marriage but I wanted to live with my girlfriend without being married to her. I preferred it that way because I felt less trapped and I really did not see any sense in getting married as I believe it's only papers in the end. However, after we moved to a affluent neighborhood, I  noticed that my neighbors there did not approve of our living situation. They thought it was not a good example for their children and they did not see the relationship as a long term one. I got annoyed that they did not take my girlfriend seriously because she was not officially my wife.

So in the end, I gave in to the social pressure (all for the quiet life) and we got married.

new communications technology has affected the way social movements are organized because nowadays, social movements rely on social networks and the media to get different people with a similar way of thinking in contact, and thus, get them to mobilize for a greater cause.

individuals only participate in collective action when they feel identified with it. is in this aspect that social media becomes relevant, because it guarantees communication among all individuals and organizes the social actions that are going to be carried out, i.e., the social movements.

in addition, being covered by the media is important to validate the message and make it relevant in the social agenda, as well as to reach more people who can share interests, appealing to public sympathy for their cause.

in conclusion, it is by social networks and social media that social movement is given birth; by connecting different individuals with similar ideas and organizing them to mobilize for a greater cause.
