the fact that we have to be politically correct about everything.  Supposedly America is the land of free, but we are not allowed to voice opinions anymore with the fear of getting sued by some jackass

First, figure out what trend you want to look at. Do you need real statistics to back you up (in which case you should look for those numbers first) or can you do something more general based on your experiences.  I would look at the trend of clothing getting more risque.  I would find several examples of this, then would try to come up with reasonable reasons for it and go into detail for each reason (physical and monetary practicality, shifting social mores, youth and counter culture, etc).  Otherwise, usual essay considerations apply: organization, intro and conclusion paragraph, proofreading, ect

This is a difficult question to answer because it depends on where you were.\n\nIn modern societies:\n\nMusic\n\n1930's\n\nSwing, big band music and crooners were all popular. Bing Crosby was the most popular singer. Radio play was important for deciding hits with markets dominated by major networks. \n\n1950's \n\nThe 1950's saw the rise of rock and roll with Elvis Presley becoming the most popular artist of the 1950s. Crooners and other traditional pop were still popular in the first half of the decade with Frank Sinatra being the most notable.\n\nTransport\n\n1930's\n\nMotor cars were becoming more popular although the Depression delayed their spread. Railways and other forms of public transport were still popular. Few people travelled overseas and when they did it was by ship.\n\n1950's\n\nCars were dominant.

There is a book called "The Twilight of American Culture" which talks about technology causing people to lose sense of national identity and kind of meld into a one world culture.\n\nIt's a pretty interesting read. The author is Morris Berman.

The higher the level of education a person or society achieves... the smarter or more educated a person or society becomes... the better they can recognize errors or think of better solutions to personal or social problems... therefore laws are changed... rules are changed and etiquette standards are change.  This can be called... social or cultural evolution!

Cultural behaviour is the behaviour that is 'learned'. In marketing, you need to 'know' and 'understand' about consumers' preferences, desires etc so as to find and retain them. The idea is that the product/service should be 'loved' and 'owned' by your customers/consumers and not just 'preferred' over competitors' product/services.

Wellll, I'm no expert on this, but I'll give it a go.  A "trend" is a movement, or general tendency, or direction toward something.  "Representational" means to speak for, or serve as an example of, or typify.  So, I'm thinking that a representational trend is a course of action or a course of events that typifies, or is representative of, a certain time and place. \n\nFor instance, hiphop music is a representational trend (as well as a style) of the l990s with bold expressions of anger, societal  disillusionment, rebellion, and even love and acceptance.  It was a trend embraced, primarily by youth, across all levels of society.\n\nSo, perhaps, from current daily life, reality shows like, Real World, Survivor, Project Runway, etc., depict a trend away from primarily scripted/acted television programs in which viewers watch a fake scripted program (like "The Brady Bunch", where everyone got along and lived happily ever after) toward programs that feature real people in real life in real situations coping with real problems and trying to find real solutions (although many of these situations are, likely, faked).  Also, in television, there is a trend back to game shows, such as Millionaire, Deal or No Deal.\n\nA documentary film that might be a representational trend is "Super Size Me" by Morgan Spurlock which capitalizes on and skewers Americans' love of food.  Or a film like "Roger and Me", which skewers large corporations that have the power to make or break people's lives.   \n\nI would highly recommend that you talk to your instructor and ask for specific examples until you understand just what she is trying to teach.  After all, that's what you're paying her for, y'know, to teach you.....\n\nGood luck!

We have become a passive society, waiting for something interesting to come to us instead of seeking out that which might be of interest.\n\nIn and of itself, entertainment is a necessary part of our culture.  It is a distraction from our everyday routine--something out of the ordinary that appeals to our love of music, literature, theatre, even laughter.  I think we all need at least some of it in our lives--when it rises above just the popular, it can educate and uplift us.\n\nBut modern entertainment is delivered to us much of the time so we need do little to receive it--other than to push a button.  That has resulted in a diluting or "dumbing down" of so much cultural content that it's all pretty much pablum--easy to take, but not much going on.\n\nSo, yes we need entertainment in our live--just not most of the crap that finds its way into our homes and multiplexes.

Technology, general term for the processes by which human beings fashion tools and machines to increase their control and understanding of the material environment. The term is derived from the Greek words tekhnē, which refers to an art or craft, and logia, meaning an area of study; thus, technology means, literally, the study, or science, of crafting.\n\nMany historians of science argue not only that technology is an essential condition of advanced, industrial civilization but also that the rate of technological change has developed its own momentum in recent centuries. Innovations now seem to appear at a rate that increases geometrically, without respect to geographical limits or political systems. These innovations tend to transform traditional cultural systems, frequently with unexpected social consequences. Thus technology can be conceived as both a creative and a destructive process.

Not exactly sure what you're looking for.  Cultural practices are a very wide field--you want marriage traditions, festivals, cultural and moral values, etc?  I'm sure lots of folks could tell you about all of these things.  I read a great book once called "Modern German Cultre", that's a good place to start.  Or Gordon Craig's, "The Germans".

Cultural lag - that time frame between where one culture has progressed and another has yet to attain.\n\nSterling example:\n\nChristian Europe and America vs. the Islamic nations.\n\nMuslims think nothing of sequestering females and denying them the same rights given to males. They claim paternal rights when selecting a husband or wife for their offspring, giving the young no choice. Their masculinity is tentative at best and they compensate via intimidation, bullying and muscle. Such attitudes were common in Europe in the Middle Ages. They, and we, have by and large culturally progressed beyond that point.\n\nBut I don't worry. After all, their faith is 700 years behind ours. It's no wonder their cultural lag is the same. They'll catch up to where we are now, eventually. Too bad we'll be 700 MORE years ahead. sad.
