What does the popularity of a current fad,
trend, and/or product suggest about society/culture?
A current popular trend is the television series 90210. This
show is about teenagers who are wealthy, have the latest things, nice clothes
and are popular which are also the elements portrayed in the show. This show
attracts a large amount of teenagers especially girls because it portrays the
kind of life every typical teenager wants to live. Everyone wants to have a
high sense of fashion, be wealthy, to have relationships and to be popular. The
fact that this show attracts so many teenagers shows that society today just
wants to be popular, have nice clothes, be rich and have all the latest things.
A current popular fad is the new iPhone 5S/5C. The iPhone 5S
is an updated version to the iPhone 5 with a finger scanner and new features
and the iPhone 5C is a cheaper version to the iPhone 5 made out of plastic in
different colors. Everyone wants this phone because it is new and very popular.
Which can show that society just cares about what everyone has and the latest
things.
My last example of a popular trend is the social networking
site tumblr. Tumblr is a site where you can upload pictures and get reblogs and
followers or also search up a tag such as beach and find many pictures with the
tag beach. This site is very popular towards teenagers because you can upload a
picture and see how many people reblog it or like it and it is also used as a
competition to see who has the most followers. This shows that society now only
cares about popularity or who’s pretty, who wears nice clothes, who has more
likes on a picture than someone else etc.
