Social Pressure

Famous quotes containing the words social and/or pressure:

“One cannot be too extreme in dealing with social ills; the extreme thing is generally the true thing.”
—Emma Goldman (1869–1940)

“Much of the pressure contemporary parents feel with respect to dressing children in designer clothes, teaching young children academics, and giving them instruction in sports derives directly from our need to use our children to impress others with our economic surplus. We find “good” rather than real reasons for letting our children go along with the crowd.”
—David Elkind (20th century)
