The ideology of jeans has changed in the way it’s viewed and accepted in society. JBC states how throughout the years, jeans have grown to be a social symbol in wardrobe styles in America. Initially the creation of jeans was targeted to working men for protection but was soon adapted to fit and change the style of society. JBC states how the concept of jeans hasn’t only contributed as a style choice but also a big part of the social world through the consumerism and production of the new popular wardrobe. While jeans are sold as one, many steps that go into the process of simply creating the materials to manufacture a pair of jeans. The different forms of processing jeans created a whole social scene for more workers, manufacturers, and capitalism. Consumers rushed to purchase jeans because society told them it was the best product on the market. They soon became a symbol of fashion and were highly demanded by everyone as consumers. The social consumerism scene was created by those seeking monetary compensation for an idea that was once ordinary but was contorted to seem as revolutionary and ingenious. Looking at the social structure of in a more macro view, many people, especially in the U.S. population, tend to follow what is said to be socially acceptable. Not many people deviate from a path of norms established by what the majority says. The motion of following what is popular is a form of consumerism strategy used for many years amongst society. The social reprimand of original thought and decision-making skills were what set forth a wave of similarity and shared interest between society. People now tend to have similar styles in what starts small like clothing but soon branches out to lifestyles to what only can lead to a society lacking of originality and diverse thought.
My First Blog Post
Be yourself; Everyone else is already taken.
— Oscar Wilde.
This is the first post on my new blog. I’m just getting this new blog going, so stay tuned for more. Subscribe below to get notified when I post new updates.
Introduce Yourself (Example Post)
This is an example post, originally published as part of Blogging University. Enroll in one of our ten programs, and start your blog right.
You’re going to publish a post today. Don’t worry about how your blog looks. Don’t worry if you haven’t given it a name yet, or you’re feeling overwhelmed. Just click the “New Post” button, and tell us why you’re here.
Why do this?
- Because it gives new readers context. What are you about? Why should they read your blog?
- Because it will help you focus you own ideas about your blog and what you’d like to do with it.
The post can be short or long, a personal intro to your life or a bloggy mission statement, a manifesto for the future or a simple outline of your the types of things you hope to publish.
To help you get started, here are a few questions:
- Why are you blogging publicly, rather than keeping a personal journal?
- What topics do you think you’ll write about?
- Who would you love to connect with via your blog?
- If you blog successfully throughout the next year, what would you hope to have accomplished?
You’re not locked into any of this; one of the wonderful things about blogs is how they constantly evolve as we learn, grow, and interact with one another — but it’s good to know where and why you started, and articulating your goals may just give you a few other post ideas.
Can’t think how to get started? Just write the first thing that pops into your head. Anne Lamott, author of a book on writing we love, says that you need to give yourself permission to write a “crappy first draft”. Anne makes a great point — just start writing, and worry about editing it later.
When you’re ready to publish, give your post three to five tags that describe your blog’s focus — writing, photography, fiction, parenting, food, cars, movies, sports, whatever. These tags will help others who care about your topics find you in the Reader. Make sure one of the tags is “zerotohero,” so other new bloggers can find you, too.
