RSS Feeds: My RSS feeds consist of blogs that have been useful to me or blogs that I think will be useful to me in the future. Some RSS feeds contain specific social pressures such as the pressure to be skinny, the pressure to get married, the pressure for higher education, etc. Other RSS feeds contain broader topics such as the pressure to be perfect, the pressure to be a good person, the pressure to be cool. Whichever way, my RSS feeds contain useful information that can either help me on a specific topic or can give me ideas about new topics.

Search Flakes: In both the Universal Blog Search and the Universal News Search, the search term is ‘society’s pressures.’ When other search terms such as ‘society pressures’ and ‘social pressures’ are typed into the search bar, the results tend to be about politics.

Some articles that showed up were the pressure to maintain abstinence until marriage and the pressure to stay in a marriage despite unhappiness.
Zotero Bibliography: My bibliography contains annotations for a couple sources. Most of these sources’ annotations (Being Successful, How the Educational Process Puts Pressure on Students, Students Face Mounting Pressure to Succeed, and There’s No Pressure Here!) can be found on this post. Doing School: How We Are Creating a Generation of Stressed-Out, Materialistic, and Miseducated Students discusses how the American society’s pressure on students to excel in school has caused students’ to adopt unhealthy habits and lifestyles in order to succeed in school. This pressure on students has made them unappreciative of education and the purpose of learning.
