behavior and fashion trends through Georg Simmel’s lens. Discuss issues
related to authenticity, social comparison, and the commodification of

In your conclusion, you may either show that the theory is still
relevant or challenge the theorist’s ideas by showing how the social

a combination of the two approaches.
