LETTER FROM THE EDITOR - YEAR VII - N 3

Trendy or trend?
The significance of the trend is ”tending toward a particular end.”
The word ”trend”, however, does it also mean inclination; ”Inclination or tendency to paint” for example.
But today the word trend becomes ”trendy”!
And we have discovered a new meaning, ”do trend”!
In a word synonymous with ”influence”.
”Influencing fashion”, ”affect the taste,” ”affect the normal development of something changing, perhaps, the performance or the ultimate goal.”
Think of how thin the transition from one word to a way of being.
Well, yes. Way of being.
How we are subjected today to us the word ”trendy”?
In my opinion we are submerged and, in some cases, unknowingly surrounded.
Some examples? If you say ”Selfie” what comes to mind?
Maybe some of you will think of the photo with your friend / a pose in ”fashion cool” done yesterday.
But few people know that the ”Selfie” element ”Trendy” in recent months is far from 1839 that exists. In fact, the first known self-portrait of Robert Cornelius is precisely the 1839 Few people know, however, that the Grand Duchess Anastasia Nikolaevna was a great ”Selfier.”
But at that time there was a tendency; maybe the people who are photographed in front of a mirror or with self-timer had also taken a bit ’like crazy.
Today, this attitude becomes a trend, it becomes fashion, it becomes a change in our daily lives. How many of you got to your holiday destination, even before you unpack your bags are posing and taking selfie the first of what will be, or at least hopefully, the best trip of your life.
Some of you I’m sure you already start to take pictures even from the airport!
What is clear, do selfie is not wrong but reflect on how, in this society, it is very easy to be ”influenced” by losing our essence.
Strengthen the concept of ”trendy” with our values.
Let’s become ”trendy” to be honest, to be generous, to be educated.
Let ”trendy” read a book, help a friend, be honest.
”Influenziamoci” each other with strong elements and essential to a healthy society and still based on values.
We are ”trendy”, it is but with personality!
