ELEMENTS THAT
MAKE UP A
TREND
ELEMENTS
OF A
TREND
 1. Number of participants
- pertains to people who follow a certain trend which
is started by an individual or a group of people. The
group then grows into a community, and eventually
swells into national and international societies.
People often copy the trendsetter and so a new
fashion trends develops.
 2. Pattern of behavior
-refers to a trend that is formed from repetitive
actions of people.For example, the simple act of
taking a selfie had now become a cultural trend.
Before smartphones and portable digital cameras ,
pictures or portraits were taken by another person.
 The selfie phenomenon enabled people to
construct themselves visually and present it to
the public by putting it on social media. Others
view the taking of selfies with disdain as a
symbol of narcissism and superficiality ,while
others consider it as an act of self exploration
and gauge for acceptance.
 3. LONG PERIOD OF TIME
- is one of the crucial elements of a trend
which means that a trend has to have a
long-time frame , sometime running for
decades . A trend may experience some
ups and downs in popularity , may fade
away and may recUr.
4 . Cause
- refers to the starting point of a trend
which can be an idea , a technology ,an
event or a person . All trends have
beginnings and someone or somebody
definitely started it.
The question here is, how did it start Now, this
becomes quite obvious as all material elements of a
culture started with one's ideas, therefore it is also
conclusive that one starting point of a trend was an
idea . Someone or somebody thought about it in the first
place.
 5. Consequence
- refers to the considerable impact
or influence of a trend. Social
networking has become an
encompassing trend that tends to
influence behaviors of online users.
 With the popularity of smartphones ,
users began subscribing to various social
networking portals which enable them to
post activity statuses and photos , and
even connect with celebrities.
