The tendency of human beings to copy one another is shown in the popularity of fashion clothes and consumer goods. To what extent do you agree?

During the

last

decades, it has become evident how every day more and more

people

all around the world share their taste in fashion and aesthetics in any kind of good of consumption.

However

, while it is known that human beings develop by copying other

people

it is

also

true that mass

media

have had an impact on our current behaviour and elections. I will explain my thoughts on

this

topic below.

First

of all, human beings’ development in the

first

stages is based on repetition. Namely, children learn by imitating their

parents'

parents

show examples

or caregivers’ behaviours.

For instance

, the

first

words of any baby are learnt because his parents have repeated them constantly until the baby can say them by himself. The same situation occurs with eating as some studies have demonstrated.

On the other hand

, mass

media

and communications in the globalization era make

people

more susceptible to being influenced by the fashion industry. Nowadays it is quite common to see on the internet

people

from different cultures wearing similar clothes or decorating their homes with the same type of furniture. As a matter of fact, brands have colonized social

media

and other communications means with ads that shape the way

people

consume. In conclusion,

people

learn their

first

words and behaviours based on repeating them from their parents and caregivers’,

nevertheless

in my opinion mass

media

and the fashion industry have shaped the tastes, beliefs and habits of consumers all over the world and

as a result

,

people

are copying one another more than ever before.
