Spur Posse
This subject is very prevalent in many societies today, back in the day your sexual life was very precious to young people. But society has changed so much over the years, people think that this is ok it’s a normal way of life. I believe that a lot of the pressure on young people are due to TV shows, parents, internet, and magazines. Now today everybody openly talks about what happens in the bedroom. The Spur Posse is very detrimental to young girls especially if they were kind of forced into sex with these young men. In young lives today there are a lot of peer pressure all around, peer pressure is influence that a group, observers or individual exerts that encourages others to change their attitudes, values, or behaviors to conform to group norms. I feel like this issue is a main reason why this is going on in society today. This is not setting a good example for younger kids, most kids look up to their older sibling when they see them doing it they think it’s alright.
When you are on in a team sport that plays a big role in your decision making. A lot of young people struggle with making the right decisions. When you hear of someone else doing something you tend to want to do it to, even though it may be the wrong thing to do. In any groups there is a lot of influences and curve your decision making and may lead to deviant behavior. These groups learn different attitudes and behaviors concerning deviance and conformity. There is also that control theory, inner controls and outer controls working against our tendencies to deviate. In the Spur Posse scandal I’m sure there was a lot of influences from adults to push this kid into doing such an act on these young women even though they know it was wrong they did it anyways. A lot of times young people don’t understand that this affect everyone
