Imitation is also a form of social learning that leads to the "development of traditions, and ultimately our culture. It allows for the transfer of information (behaviours, customs, etc.) between individuals and down generations without the need for genetic inheritance. "[1] The word imitation can be applied in many contexts, ranging from animal training to international politics.[2] Anthropology and social sciences[edit] In anthropology, some theories hold that all cultures imitate ideas from one or a few original cultures, the Adam of the Bible, or several cultures whose influence overlaps geographically. Scholars[3] as well as popular authors[4][5] have argued that the role of imitation in humans is unique among animals.
In the mid-20th century, social scientists began to study how and why people imitate ideas. Neuroscience[edit] Neurologist V.S. Diffusion of innovations. The diffusion of innovations according to Rogers.

I recognize that preaching the importance of social media to businesses is a little redundant.
By now, buy-in to social media marketing is near ubiquitous, but I still find that many organizations have a difficult time quantifying the value they can achieve through the strategic use of social media. While I certainly don’t have a silver bullet response to help everyone understand the actual quantitative value of social media marketing, there are some incredibly compelling stats I’m going to share here to help you understand just how important social platforms can be to your business. 91% of people have gone into a store because of an online experience.

Normcore: Fashion for Those Who Realize They’re One in 7 Billion. Sometime last summer I realized that, from behind, I could no longer tell if my fellow Soho pedestrians were art kids or middle-aged, middle-American tourists.
Clad in stonewash jeans, fleece, and comfortable sneakers, both types looked like they might’ve just stepped off an R-train after shopping in Times Square. When I texted my friend Brad (an artist whose summer uniform consisted of Adidas barefoot trainers, mesh shorts and plain cotton tees) for his take on the latest urban camouflage, I got an immediate reply: “lol normcore.” Normcore—it was funny, but it also effectively captured the self-aware, stylized blandness I’d been noticing. Brad’s source for the term was the trend forecasting collective (and fellow artists) K-Hole. They had been using it in a slightly different sense, not to describe a particular look but a general attitude: embracing sameness deliberately as a new way of being cool, rather than striving for “difference” or “authenticity.”

Chapter 2 : The Consumer. Chapter 1 : The Highstreet. The Fashion Industry. Recession is stalling social mobility for a generation of teenagers, claims report. Social mobility has stalled for thousands of teenagers because the recession has affected their educational aspirations, according to new research.
Economists have found that, during periods of high unemployment, teenagers' plans to remain at school after GCSEs were shaped by their parents' education – not their income or whether they had a job. Children with parents who have few qualifications are far less likely to want to take A-levels and go to university or take vocational courses because they do not think they will get work afterwards. However, those from highly educated families are more likely to want to gain further qualifications.
The research found that the impact of the economic downturn for a swath of today's teenagers could last decades, as those whose parents had little schooling or who do not value education gain fewer exams. "This has the potential to disrupt and stall social mobility for a generation growing up during an economic recession," says the report.
