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?
Nowadays
people
tend to follow things that are more popular currently as their hobbies instead
of what they are interested to do. Activities
that we love to do in our spare time
have changed when compared to the past. I totally agree with the above statement and this
essay will discuss the reasons behind this
.
People
tend to follow popular hobbies than interesting activities
because of social influence. With the advancement of technology, people
are exposed to an enormous amount of videos that show many leisure time
activities
on the internet daily, thus
, they automatically tend to follow those trends and fashions because of recurrent influence. For example
, the younger generation always wants to try new trending spare time
activities
that are posted by their friends on Facebook and YouTube than activities
they truly like to do. Therefore
, humans are easily attracted to things they frequently get in touch with.
Furthermore
, nowadays most of the trending hobbies are more beneficial in their outcomes. In the past, people
did not consider the benefits of those activities
, but they did them only for passing their spare time
. Instead
of that, today people
are more concerned regarding economical or health-beneficial type activities
. For instance
, these days most of the videos that are passed through social media apps promote people
to do exercises by attractively showing the advantages. Hence
, people
are more willing to do these types of advantageous activities
than in the past.
In conclusion, people
's minds have changed by social influence and lean toward more advantageous spare time
activities
which are more popular on the internet.Submitted by pmamgd22 on
