Relative Pressure

Your uncle or other significant relative pushing a beer into for hands and saying, "Here, drink this!"

Comperable to peer pressure.

I got so drunk at the Christmas party due to the relative pressure.

Principle of Relative Indifference

Holding persons, places, things or ideas near to you both in proximity and experience in less regard than those more distant or those considered more exotic.

Jen is showing her bias through the principle of relative indifference when she claims that Americans have no culture especially when compared to European countries.

buyological relative

A mooching family-member who uses reverse-nepotism (i.e., instead of Person A's extending undeserved favors to Person B just because Person B is related to him, Person B pressures Person A to excessively favor him due to family ties) in an attempt to get you to purchase non-vital items for him.

Ethan Couch's parents were way too indulgent of him financially, and so he became a totally spoiled brat who expected ALL fellow humans to cater to his wishes, whether they were his buyological relatives or not.
