Conformity and Life Pressures

      As society gets older and more developed, daily pressures seem to alter from generation to generation. For instance, in my generation going to college is considered the norm and a necessary part of human life. In my grand parents generation, however, college was considered a luxury and something not required to be successful. Albeit my grandfather went to college, he claims that many of his friends did not and they thought negatively about him after enrolling. However, now college is a necessity to become a member of the job market. There are less and less manual labor jobs that do not require basic college level degrees. Pressures of a college education are not the only stresses that humans face. There are economic pressures along with a wide variety of other social pressures.
