Fads are often confused with trends; however, they are not the same thing. The major difference between a fad and a trend is duration. A fad product may be something like the beepers of the late 1980s, which enjoyed a few years of popularity, but as technology advanced, the use of the beeper disappeared just as quickly as it appeared. Fads are usually trivial, short-lived variations in speech, decoration or patterns of behaviour or activities involving large number of people, whereas fashions, although similar to fads, change less rapidly, are less trivial, and tend to be more cyclical. Some examples of fads are crowding into telephone booths, chewing the chewing gum, dancing the twist, wearing T-shirts, playing TV games, and a very famous sample of fads is "ICE BUCKET CHALLENGE" well, jp has experienced it haha i sawit on ur ig duibuqi

3 Whose adorning let it not be that outward [adorning] of plaiting the hair, and of wearing of gold, or of putting on of apparel; 4 But [let it be] the hidden man of the heart, in that which is not corruptible, [even the ornament] of a meek and quiet spirit, which is in the sight of God of great price.Bible Verse1 Peter 3:3 - 3:4

I tried to find some bible verse about fashion and behaviors on the net. And these verse stands out and I think has the connection to my topic.I think this passage is telling us that we should put more design in our soul than the decoration outside We should priorities our soul first than our apparel in our body.

ReflectionI think Mass Behavior create social pressure, which arises from one's belief about what other people expect or want them to do. most people think of themselves as individuals able to make their own choices in respect to behavior, there is often a strong tendency to conform to group patterns and expectations. I think Mass Behavior deals with the influences of people to act in a way when others are presence, and looks at the behavior and action that lead to those behaviors. ... My family is also an influence on my behavior. ... Conformity is a social influence that makes a person's beliefs and behavior change to fit in with a specific group. ..
