SOCIAL INFLUENCE | PERSUASION

Social influence is when the actions or
thoughts of individual(s) are changed by other individual(s). Examples of
social influence can be seen in socialization and peer pressure.
In the case of peer pressure, a person might be forced into doing something
(such as going to an opera) he might not like but is "necessary" to upkeep the
positive relationship with the other party, such as the family of their partner.
The person could agree to the offering even if he hated it because of many
reasons; maybe he is the possible inheritor of the family/person that asks him
to come to the opera, the family could want to evaluate the person before
letting their son/daughter get married with him/her, etc.
Social influence can also be described by the word power, which means to
possess the ability to embrace a person/group of people to one's own will.
Usually people of good genes (looks), significant sums of money, good jobs and
so on will possess social influence on other, "ordinary" people. So even if the
person doesn't possess any "real" or political power but possessed the things
listed above (good looks, money, etc.), he could persuade other people into
doing/saying something.
An example would be movie stars, who don't (usually) possess any political power
but are familiar to many of the world's citizens and therefore possess social
status. They get a lot of media coverage, they are admired in television shows
and they have many enthusiastic fans.
