Answer to Question 2

A fad is a temporary but widely copied activity followed enthusiastically by large numbers of people. Most fads are short-lived novelties. According to sociologist John Lofland, fads can be divided into four major categories: (1) object fads are items that people purchase despite the fact that they have little use or intrinsic value (recent examples include Harry Potter wands, SpongeBob SquarePants trading cards, and Lord of the Rings dolls and mugs) (2) activity fads include pursuits such as body piercing, surfing the Internet, and fad diets where a person eats large quantities of one specific food such as grapefruit or popcorn; (3) idea fads such as New Age ideologies; and (4) personality fads, such as those surrounding celebrities such as Paris Hilton, Tiger Woods, 50 Cent, and Lady Gaga. A fashion is a currently valued style of behavior, thinking, or appearance that is longer lasting and more widespread than a fad. Examples of fashion are found in many areas, including child rearing, education, arts, clothing, music, and sports.
