Deadly Trends


A popular trend is style of dress, ornament, or behaviour.

My mind is always thinking fashion. I love the history of style and style makers. To see how the economical situations and recent current affairs directly influence and even, yes, dictate what people wear. What people wear...the popular trend? That is what the fashion conscious craves, so much so that it has become a profession. There are experts paid to research follow and report upon trends.

As I heard the horrible news out of the United States today again my mind focused on fashion. A popular trend. We usually think clothing and accessories when we visualize "fashion ". But fashion does not solely and simply embody clothes ornaments and all things beautiful. Fashion can be ugly. Trends may become deadly senseless and beyond what any professional trend researcher can predict, we must become aware that fashion is also a popular trend in behaviour. This fashion of senseless massacre of innocents has become a trend. A trend that has destroyed lives. Ripped apart families and disgusted the entire world. School shootings have sadly become a trend. I love fashion- the sexy styles from the red carpet worthy trends. The trend of killing innocent people continues its ugliness and unfortunately is popular with troubled people accessorized with easily obtained firearms. Fashion- a popular trend in behavior- I hope this one can be stopped.
