Social Pressure

We all here at Blabluble.com have a Bachelor degree in Computer Science from Federal University of Pernambuco, Brazil. I remember that, after our first semester, how easy it was to figure out a fact: we went into one of the best Computer Science courses in Brazil.

Most of the students who came there didn’t waste their time, but spent mornings, nights and afternoons studying – by themselves or in groups – in order to get excellent scores. Also, I remember that people who dida not fit this profile, in some way were (naturally) cast away from the community that (naturally) arose in that environment. Because of that, between writing a song and another, we really had to study hard. That was a way to remain inside the community.

We don’t know if this kind of pressure has a name (maybe in some areas such as Psychology), but we decided to call it Social Pressure. In fact, social or peer pressure is natural in any high school level. The more people are doing better, the more they have to strive to reach a better level.

Our challenge will be to bring this kind of reality into the e-learning world. And I can ensure you that we are really working hard to achieve this. Hope we’ll get it!
