Popular trends and fads exist across the world, but vary from country to country. We will discuss the popular trends that are associated in today’s society.
Personal
Popular American personal trends that exist in society today are consumers desire for the need of personal possessions such as the I-phone, purses, colognes, designer cloths, shoes, electronics, etc. Once a consumer sees a certain type of product whether, it was advertised on television or the influence of another person, the consumer will try to obtain that personal possession just to acquire the feeling of being ‘in’ or in touch with today’s growing trend. The younger generations plays a major role in today’s society and are also the majority affected by this growing popular trend in today’s society. This growing American popular trend is very surreal in today’s society, especially with electronics such as I-phones. Cell phones also relate to popular social American culture.
