Social influence on emotion is being influenced by culture
and belief of different people in the society. Take for example, the election
coming up between Mitt Romney and President Barack Obama, the voters are going
to vote into president who they are emotionally attach to, based on the way
they project their personal lifestyle and what they do to make them who they
are and also if either of the candidates will touch their lives on each of their
personal needs. The media has helped built up a picture of both party. Now a
days, people don’t have an opinion of theirs; with the fast pace of technology,
people are working hard to meet up to the demands to survive. No one has the time to build up his or her personal
believe. Every one depends on what the society calls norm and what lessons it brings,
which in turn affects their emotion state on issues of life.
Definitely true. I believe social influence has a large impact over all of us but i do believe that some of us have our own personal opinions. Many of my friends don't exactly think the same way i do but just because they say it's dumb or incorrect, it's still my opinion and it's how i think. I'm not going to change that fact because of what my friends think. There are certain times when i do but if it's something i strongly believe in, i don't give up on my own personal beliefs like that. It's sad that peer pressure affects most of our thoughts but there will always be personal beliefs and thoughts.
