"because they wish to avoid doing what other people want pressure them" to do." There, fixed. Cooperation needs to be mutual, otherwise, one of the parties will decide not accommodate the other.

Reminds me of a story I read one time.

An older couple always had breakfast together and the man always came to the breakfast table in his shorts and no shirt, despite years of his wife pleading for him to put on a shirt.

One day she'd had enough. She got up, left the room, and returned a few minutes later minus clothing on her upper torso, sat down and started eating without comment.

The next day her husband wore a shirt at breakfast.

Now that's creative thinking. :)
