RE: Social tendencies, self image and psychology.
That was a great post, @dedicatedguy.
Maybe imitation is part of the human instinct of survival. Yet, I still don't get how people just blindly follow trends or adopt beliefs based on what the others think. Who wants to be part of the crowd anyway?
If before this was exercised in the street, today it is exercised from the solitude of our smartphones, at the time of selecting pictures and tapping the share image button. It is something that everyone can do with simply access to technology, regardless of the social dynamics or the habits of the place in which the person is living.
True. I think we're the only generation in history recording ourselves achieving nothing.
No just humans, animals imitate themselves too. It probably makes bonding easier.
haha well yes, although we are also the first generation with so many tools to record everything we do.
