Small Trends - 5

Small trends are becoming tomorrow's fads. Microtrends are little styles, ways, and hobbies with a small start but grow into fashion. Microtrenders are teenage knitters, left-handers, high-earners getting tattoos, and other peculiarities.

Microtrenders are a fast growing people. They seek to convey thier individuality though what trend they choose.

Mark Penn, the author of the book Microtrends, was hired by Hillary Clinton. I believe this is because he understands the fact those making less than $50,000 a year are more concerned on voting for where the candidates stand on issues. If she can connect and apply to that group of people, she has more of a chance at getting their votes.

Penn claims that his book was not a political pun, but with how close to the first primaries his book came out, and his relation with the Clintons, I think it's a political thing.

Mircrotrenders fall under a category of a "free society." The effect of this on America is that everyone is going to be more concerned how you feel and what makes you happy, more than what is right and what needs to be done. Our country is not prepared for what would happen should all be free to do as they please and accept all that goes on. Gay rights is a great example of how our society is alowing everything to take place - just as long as you "feel good."

Here, in the place I attend, a majority of the staff are single. Microtrends even occur in the smallest populations.
