Popular hobbies and interests change over time and are more a reflection of trends and fashions than an indication of what individuals really want to do in their spare time. To what extent do you agree or disagree?

It has been observed that the activities people perform in their leisure

time

and their choices have changed over a period of

time

since it depends on the recent trends rather than a person's choice. I completely with

this

observation because people try to copy and follow famous personalities and it

also

gives them a

sense

of emotional satisfaction. Most people adopt certain hobbies or areas of interest because few celebrities perform those activities.

This

appeals common man to follow those activities in their leisure

time

.

For example

, reading a self-help book was adapted as a hobby by many people who were inspired by Shahrukh Khan, TV Actor.

Thus

, people make choices based on recent trends and fashions adapted by

such

famous personalities.

Moreover

, performing certain trending activities

also

provide a

sense

of achievement.

Although

, some individuals may not be interested in performing these activities and posting on social media can give them a feeling of pride.

For instance

, it is seen that most people run marathons and post them on social media because it gives them a

sense

of achievement rather than choosing activities in their area of interest.

Therefore

, it can be said that certain hobbies are performed to provide emotional satisfaction. To conclude, activities which people perform in their leisure

time

has changed over a period of

time

and according to some people, it is because of constant change which is taking place. In my opinion,

this

view holds true because choices of hobbies and their field of interest are largely influenced by the role models and the emotional factors

such

as a

sense

of achievement and pride.
