Question

A Development Psychologist wants to study the influences that affect the outcomes of Minnesota children. For example, one of the participants in her study is Sofia who grew up in Wilmar, Minnesota, the daughter of Mexican immigrants. Sofia is healthy, bright and outgoing. Her family has taught Sofia to value work and self-discipline. At Wilmar High School, she is an excellent student, and her teachers are encouraging her to continue her education at the Carlson School of Management. Although some of her neighbors and friends of her family are discouraging her from going to college (and Sofia worries about the cost,) her experience at school and everything she reads on social networks convinces her that she can do it, and it will be worth it.

This can be seen even in simplest situation such as when we're deciding to pursue or abandon higher education. The influence from her friends help push Sophia to eventually pursue it and in the future the efforts that Sofia made using her degree will be felt/given back to the environment around her.
