Question

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

Answer 1

Nowadays, almost everyone follows the latest fashion trends. For example, we want the latest gadgets that our friends already use. Our choice of clothing is influenced by what celebrities wear. This is a clear sign that humans like to imitate others.

We copy because we want to fit in. We don’t want to stick out like a sore thumb. For example, no one, not even those who wear casuals all the time, will wear a T-shirt and jeans to a party where the dress code is formal.  This is because we have a strong need to get accepted. We do not want others to mock our style of dressing or other choices. We want to be perceived as trendy, stylish and fashionable.
