How does fashion influence the minds of the masses?

Directions: Read the following passage and answer the given question:

The word ‘fashion’ is usually related to dress, but it also relates to manners and ways of behaviour. With the fast growing consumerist culture, everything which is advertised in a glamorous and charming manner becomes a fashion. Fashion originates in the minds of great economic authorities of a society, who influence the society in every possible way in the market, by producing new goods. Since fashion keeps changing, it expands our area of wants and desires. It is not a bad thing to be influenced by any ‘fashion’, but one should always try to find out the logic behind that ‘fashion’, so that he does not become a mere victim of the consumerist culture by spending money on every possible new ‘craze’.
