What I Need to Know
A trend is a sequential pattern of changes 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. This
module will present the elements and characteristics of a trend.
After going through this module, you should be able to:

1. point out the elements that make up a trend (HUMSS_MCT12-Ia-b-4);
2. describe the different characteristics of a trend (HUMSS_MCT12-Ia-b-
5); and
3. illustrate the elements and characteristics of a trend through symbols.

Lesson Understanding the Elements

1 and Characteristics of a
Trend
When you see cumulonimbus clouds suddenly formed within the horizon, you
would probably guess that a rain or thunderstorm is imminent. When rain comes
moments later, surely you would exclaim that you were right about your guess. You
were able to spot an incoming rain. That was about spotting an incoming rain, but,
how about a trend? Can you spot a trend? In the previous module, you were
introduced to the descriptions, definitions and distinctions between a trend and a
fad. In this module, you will learn to spot the elements of a trend, and what
characterizes it from microtrends and macrotrends at one end to megatrends and
gigatrends at the other. What starts as barely perceptible oscillations in our
immediate environment may become the great movements of history. The trick is to
spot which ones will develop and how far it will last. Some people like to categorize
trends and a good place for you is to start this hierarchy.
What’s In
Directions: Read and analyze the statements carefully. Identify whether the given
descriptions pertain to a trend or a fad. Write T for TREND and F for FAD. Write your
answers on a separate sheet of paper.
________1. It is something such as interest or fashion that becomes popular for a

short period of time.
________2. A recurrent phenomenon that takes place over time and gives rise to
speculation on the future.
________3. It is a pattern of group behavior that lasts for a long period of time.
________4. It is sometimes referred to as “rage or craze”.
________5. It is a pattern, a direction, or a movement in a way something is changing
towards a style or idea.
________6. Examples of this are hula hoop, yo-yo and virtual pets.
________7. It is a new item that stabilizes to an enduring product or a practice that
transforms into a habit or a lifestyle.
________8. It is characterized by a quick rise in sales and popularity followed by a
quick decline.
________9. It fades when the perception of novelty is gone.
4
________10. It appears suddenly, becomes enormously popular, and does not
disappear but rather gets stronger over time.
________11. It may come as a general movement registering statistical changes for a
longer period of time such as the increasing cost of living and rate of
unemployment.
________12. It is an intense but short-lived fashion.
________13. It is something that covers almost all of human activities such as but
not limited to politics, beliefs, economics, lifestyle, social life and the like
whether the individuals or groups of people are aware of it or not.
________14. It has a certain beginning at a particular time in history, but it evolves
and changes as it continues to grow.
________15. Examples of this are business process outsourcing, online ticketing, and
cashless transactions.

What is It
What makes a trend a trend? In the previous module, you have learned the
distinction between a fad and a trend. A trend is a pattern of behavior demonstrated
by a big number of people within a particular period and that which continuously
grow and evolve overtime while a fad is an intense but short-lived fashion. With this
distinction, we can therefore identify the elements which comprise a trend. In this
regard, Urgel (2017) enumerated the following elements and characteristics of 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. For
example, the prevailing fashion of a period, follows what celebrities are wearing
or what fashion designers offer. People often copy the trendsetters and so a new
fashion trend develops. In the recent century, styles of clothing are usually
distinguished by decades. One example of this is denim jeans that became a
casual wear by all genders on a regular basis. Jeans are especially perfect for
crafting swoon-worthy ensembles mostly due to the fact that they work well with
just about anything especially when it comes to different looks (Griswold and
Maguire 2020).
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 has now become a cultural
trend. It is almost impossible not to see someone taking a selfie in any place - be
it in a tourist spot, in a restaurant, in a hotel lobby, beside a movie poster in a
cinema, in a concert hall, and at an event, among others. 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 a gauge for acceptance.
Taking groufies has been prevalent that everyone is into it, too.
7
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. A
good example of this element of trend is the telephone. It is a communication
instrument that revolutionized modern living and created various social impacts. It
was soon overtaken by the popularity of mobile phones in the late 1990s that have
text messaging feature. Then newer technologies allowed smartphones to include
many applications and internet connectivity. Although telephones are still present in
homes and offices, smartphones clearly have gotten ahead in functionality and
usage.
The picture shows the evolution of cellphones over the years.
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. Let us go back to the evolution of telephone
mentioned above. If you will try to think about it, it was Alexander Graham Bell who
first invented and engineered the very first telephone back in 1876
(https://www.britannica.com). What do you think prompted him to such an
endeavor? Well, if you guessed that it began with an idea of bridging the gap of a long
– distance relations though live voice communication then you must be right. So,
besides the snail mails which were already prevalent those times, people had another
option – the telephone. Fast forward a bit, back in the late 1990’s, these messages
through mails or letters evolved and entered the digital world through beepers while
telephones also evolved into cellular mobile phones. At present, all those separate
features plus some more were combined into the devices we presently called
“smartphones.” Believe it or not, all of these were one’s ideas which eventually turned
into a reality.
The Walkman revolutionized music

playing. Portable audio players today can
trace back their roots to the Walkman.
8
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. Currently, these social media platforms
and their messaging and video conferencing features are finding their relevance
today especially for the students and teachers. For example, due to the pandemic,
teachers, students and parents use these features for the virtual teaching and
learning process. However, this trend can also create a rather negative
consequence among its followers. One example is depicted on the illustration
below. Quality time among family members to share one another’s presence is
being diverted to other less relevant concerns brought about by the social media.
They can literally be described as “near yet so far” which means that they may be
physically near each other, in fact, sharing food on the same table, yet their
attention is far from the family moment.
Characteristics of Trends
Trends are difficult to study and analyze. Studying them is like predicting the
future and determining what changes may possibly last and thus have wide effects
on society and the people. Just like predicting an incoming rain or storm, it is quite
difficult to measure its impending aftermath. It may yield a good outcome for the
farmers especially when they are in great need of water for their crops, but at the
same time it can also yield damages to other areas.
Rehn and Lindkvist (2013) mentioned a so-called hierarchy of trends, which
explains why trends seem to have varying reach, effects, and influences on people.
This hierarchy is a representation of the scale of the development of a trend. To better
explain this, here is the tabular representation of these characteristics with some
examples.

Besides the above example, trends can also refer to movements, ideologies,
concepts, beliefs, and more. The important thing in studying trends is to observe
them closely for subtle and sudden shifts that ultimately affect people, cultures, and
societies in general. In the next module, you will be provided with a more in-depth
study of the characteristics/ hierarchy of trends.
