Mission: To find three main sources that we used for our assignment.

Searched up Fads on google":
1. Amy, “History of Crazy Fads”, Varsity.co.nz, www.varsity.co.nz/content/view/805/2/, January 6, 2009

As the group were researching for a thesis, Uzma found an interesting theory called the Bandwagon Effect. It is an observed social behavior in which people tend to go along with what others do or think without considering their actions. People feel more comfortable, being a part of the majority. According to InfoWorld.com, "Simply put, there is a safety and comfort in numbers." The group searches for examples of this effect.
The examples they came up with were:
- cults
- fashion fads
- politics
-entertainment

Seached goodle for the bandwagon effect:
S.E. Smith, "What is the Bandwagon Effect?", http://www.wisegeek.com/what-is-a-bandwagon-effect.htm, January 11,2009


Thesis statement: King Looie Katz shows how the bandwagon effect causes people to follow a certain trend or fad without thinking of what they're doing.
