5. - A trend persists and continues
because people have seen it as part
of a society's culture. A trend shows
a transitory increase or decrease of a
particular idea, event or
phenomenon. It is wider than cool
hunting and refers more generally
to the study of trends and the way
they develop and affect society.
- A significant characteristic of a trend is its
capacity to make sudden surprises and
reversals that we can see around us. It is by
exploring the emergence where we can
anticipate the challenges and future plans. It
includes the countries whose economies are
growing as the number of jobs increases. This
said trend is urgent.
- Another characteristic of a trend is that it
interlocks and overlaps with other trends. Asian
countries formed groups that address security,
economics and political stability in order to
compete with other global forces.

6. - Little things that happen all around us
all the time, the tiny shifts that occur in
everything from clothes we wear and
the snacks we eat to the way, play,
love.
- These trends happen right now and are
outright observable.
- Are synonymous
with fads.
- They offer a
glimpse about
the future
through the clues
they possess.

decades and are
“so pervasive as to
be generally
known.
- Are obvious and
evident.

11. - Trends that are so
general that they affect
most areas of human
life or, at least, more
than one aspect of life or
more that one industry.

of things, thus a trend

Parts of a Whole

13. {
A pattern is a design, shape, form or configuration
that emerges from repetitious appearance of lines,
curves and behaviour. In the study of trends,
repetitive behaviour that gives rise to an emerging
pattern is the main interest.
