How to use "Pressures" in context?

When people think of pressure, they often think of the negative aspects - like being crammed into a small space, or having to perform under intense scrutiny. But pressure can also be a positive force - motivating people to achieve their goals, or forcing them to think creatively.

There are several types of pressure: social, emotional, cognitive, and physical. Social pressure comes from the people around us - our friends, family, and co-workers. Emotional pressure comes from our feelings - happiness, sadness, anger, and fear. Cognitive pressure comes from our thoughts - whether we're worried about making a mistake, or trying to remember a difficult fact.
