Peer presure is mostlikely seen as a negative thing. In some cases it can also be viewed as a positive thing. When you think of peer pressure you think of someone being influenced by a friend in negative ways, and hope they think of the consequences before they give in. A possitive way that I have experienced peer pressure was from a close friend named sterling. About 2 years ago sterling and I went to golden high school together and one day he decided to leave his home because he wasnt agreeing with him parental units. Sterling came to live with me for 3 months. We always talked to eachother about what ever was on our mind. He would always get me to think in the opposite direction from what my first thought was. One situation in particular was going to school. When he had left his parents he couldnt go to school because he was listed as a runaway. He really encouraged me to get to school. He would wake me up in the morning, help me understand my homework, greet me when I was home from school and ask me how my day was. He is an amazing friend and really helped me through my first year of high school. If it wern't for sterling I would have totally given up on school when I was a freshmen. Sterling was great support for me and I am so thankful that he has been in my life since we first met. He will forever be a wonderful friend.
Language can be guided to influence action because they have a strong affect and can linger in ones mind weather they know it may be right or wrong. When lady Macbeth is talking to Macbeth about what needs to be done for what she wants, she insults him and uses strong words to grasp his attention to listen to her, she also challenges him to prove to him that he is a coward. She got into his head and messed with his thoughts so that he was pretty much tricked into doing what she had told him to do. She gets what she wants.
