Humans tend to copy one another, especially in fashion, choice of clothes and consumer goods. Do you agree or disagree? Provide your view and examples from your own experience.
Ever since mankind appeared on this planet, it has been perceived as emulating peers, while some dissent with this notion. I shall critically analyze this matter, elucidate my views in the following paragraphs.
Some profess that everyone tries to imitate celebrities, elite groups, and so on, to sustain their image. They feel that emulating ways of living in terms of clothes, fashion and products used by public idols would afford them an up-to-date social status. This pattern can be observed among all age groups: youngsters and elders. Moreover, some attempt following precedents/footsteps/examples of the elite: communities, neighbors, and even relatives, in order to be considered at par with them. For instance, the population tries to copy the fashion trends of USA citizens just to make themselves feel rich, trendy and different from the middle class group. A survey conducted by Global Fashion magazine revealed that a majority of youngsters, globally, have been witnessed imitating fashion styles of the USA population: this helps them to highlight perceived sophistication among their relatives and friends.
Nevertheless, the other school of thought debunks the former notion and asserts everyone is born with typical tastes, and rarely emulates others. They have their own style, they have been following for a long time, by virtue of which they feel confident. They consider being influenced by others as disparaging, and attempt staying clear of habits of imitating their peers. Additionally, some are more akin to sustaining their family budgets, rather than being extravagant in an attempt to ape others
To recapitulate, I vehemently agree with the former view that the habit of imitating others for leading a better life is a common propensity. However, one must think logically while copying others, and embrace this habit as per their circumstances.
