Pressure

Pressure is the amount of force that is applied to an object or emotion.

My Definition of Pressure On an Object: When pressure is put on an object, if its mould-able then it will change shape. If the object is flexible ,when the pressure is stopped, then it should return to its original shape.

If its not mould-able and too much pressure is put on it then it would break!

My Definition of Pressure as an Emotion: When a Person feels pressure towards an activity, it could help them achieve their goal. When too much pressure is put on a Person towards a goal, it could disturb their enthusiasm to achieve it and that could cause stress.

The Scientific Definition for Pressure: taken from http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/pressure

1. the exertion of force upon a surface by an object, fluid, etc. , in contact with it:”the pressure of earth against a wall.”

2.

    This is an excellently researched piece. To conclude, do you feel like there is a proper difference between emotional and physical pressure or not? Which one do you think came first? Check your spellings please and resubmit with the conclusions by Tuesday.
