It is a common
trend
 in many countries for individuals to purchase garments and groom themselves in line with the
fashion
 in vogue. In my opinion,
this
 is a negative development, which has an adverse effect on cultural background.
This
 essay will discuss the reasons for
this
trend
. The obvious reason why individuals pursue

 is due to social peer pressure. The need to constantly mingle with others in the same social status without feeling left out is the driving force for individuals who keep up with

Hence

For instance
, the Aboringal, the original dwellers of Queensland in Australia, have lost their cultural identity. In a report given by James Smith in 1990, he attributed
this
 to the constant drive of the dwellers to purchase sophisticated garments from other countries over a period of time.
As a result
, their cultural dressing as gone to extinction.
