II. EXPLANATION. Read the following information below.

What is a trend?

A trend is a sequential pattern of change in recorded data. A change evidenced by a rise or fall of variables when measured between at
least two points over time (Gordon, 2008). It is a way of doing new things individually or one society then followed by many people; it
may become a daily routine or a tradition. A trend has a big impact in our society and it has the capacity to make a big change in our
lives.

Examples of trends include food as a hobby or foodie-ism, ethical living, responsible consumerism, authenticity on social media,
blurring of gender roles, and wearable technology. Some fads that you may have missed include tattoos, goat yoga, TikTok, and 90s –
inspired fashion and music.

Differentiate a trend from fad

Fad- Typically spread quickly but disappear equally quickly. The easiest way to categorize a fad is one word: short-lived. Typically,
fads last for a total of one season. A fad is often referred to as “catching on” with the larger population, but will often fade as quickly as
it appeared. The easiest way to remember a fad is through a simple alliteration: fads fade. Although engaging in fads can be fun, they
are often not worth investing a large amount of money or time.

Trends- Trends have a much longer lifespan than fads. They can continue to be fashionable for years and even decades. The primary
difference between a trend and a fad is that trends have the potential to be long-term influences on the market.

Process of Identifying a Trend

Trend analysis is the widespread practice of collecting information and attempting to spot a pattern in the information. It may use to
predict future events or estimate uncertain events in the past.
Trend Spotting is the identification of new trends.
Trend spotting is attempting to see the future in the present (Rehn and Lindkvist, 2013).
Trend Spotter - They are the people who notices and reports on new fashions, activities that people are starting to do.
Projecting Trends - assumes the future will be a logical extension of the past.
Drivers’ continuing what is a trend
Enablers an empowering influence and encourages the drivers
Blockers may take the form of new law, politicking, street protests and other factors
Friction is a resistance to change that occurs naturally and inevitably
 Twitter is a free social networking micro blogging service that allows registered members to broadcast short posts called
tweets. Twitter members can broadcast tweets and follow other users' tweets by using multiple platforms and devices.

Facebook is a popular free social networking website that allows registered users to create profiles, upload photos and
video, send messages and keep in touch with friends, family and colleagues. The site, which is available in 37 different languages,
includes public features.

Rapid change is a constant feature of our lives. As Gordon (2008) put it, we have seen significant developments across
society, technology, institutions, products and services that will surely continue into the future. We know that the future generation will
be different in an easy way. New technologies, market shifts; even our social values and traditions may damage. We use our trends
both local and global, to position our organizations and ourselves. We can also influence some events for our own advantages in the
future.
