Can peer pressure really help fight crime? Give at least 3 reasons why you think so.
Yes, peer pressure really can help fight crime to a large extent.
The first reason is that in today's society,peers play a very significant impact to youths.From their actions,to their hobbies, many of these are influenced by their peers. For example youths are introduced to different genre of music e.g. K-pop via their peers. Thus, peer pressure can help fight crimes as youths have the ability to influence each other and in this case, influence each other to not commit any crimes.
The second reason is that young people today have a strong desire and need to not only be part of a community but also to be fully accepted as one in the larger community. Hence, many young people would go along with the flow, going along with the ideas,believes or values of their peers so as not be an odd one out. With such mentality, peer pressure can help fight crimes as young people would go along with the flow, supporting the notion to never commit crimes.
The third reason is that in today's society, young people choose to listen to and agree with the viewpoints of their peers as oppossed to their parents or any grown-up. For example, youths may treat their parents asking to go to bed early as nagging and not be bothered by it. however if their peers were to point out the same point, youths would more likely listen. As such, peer pressure can really fight crime as young people would be more likely to listen to what their peers say and change for the better.
Thus, i conclude that peer pressure can really help to fight crimes.

Hey hi! I think this article really makes sense because I agree that peer pressure does help to fight crimes. Maybe xingjie can include some concrete examples as well.
ReplyDeleteWell Said (Y). However i feel more examples can be listed. Cheers
ReplyDeleteYes, I agree. However, I feel that we have to be very careful in choosing our friends so that we will not do the wrong things as some people may be bad influences to us. We must not always follow our friends blindly due to peer pressure and have our own opinions sometimes.
ReplyDeleteYes, i agree with xing jie! Peer pressure is a prevalent issue that many youths today face, knowingly or unknowingly. Perharps suggestions of how youths can overcome such peer pressure might be included.
ReplyDeleteI agree that peer pressure can help to fight crimes too. :) However, i feel that peer pressure can also help to create crimes. Some friends may be of a bad influence and may pressure you to commit a crime such as stealing or taking drugs. Thus, peer pressure can also create crimes as well.
ReplyDeleteI agree that peer pressure can help to prevent crimes. The need for acceptance and belonging within the youths’ circle is critical during teenage years, thus the peers often have a strong influence over youths. Positive peer pressure can encourage youths to conform to healthy behaviour and deter youths from committing crimes
