so when I am choosing my fav cut denim, with a ROUGH yet SUPPLE fabric, am i an authentic agent making an autonomus choice or am I a confluence of forces/ locus of experiences just getting swayed one way or another by a passing fad?
were the heck is my dictionary ethel? i need to answer this question for this fashion maven.
locus:
n biology and evolutionary computation, a locus (plural loci) is a fixed position on a chromosome, such as the position of a gene or a biomarker (genetic marker). A variant of the DNA sequence at a given locus is called an allele. The ordered list of loci known for a particular genome is called a genetic map. Gene mapping is the process of determining the locus for a particular biological trait.
Diploid and polyploid cells whose chromosomes have the same allele at some locus are called homozygous, while those that have different alleles at a locus, heterozygous.
ahh just what i thought, you're just being swayed by a fashion fad
ethel? ethel? ethel were are my bellbottoms?
Most likely the latter. We are so influenced by the things we hear and see that it's really hard to assess where our actual decision making comes into play. My feeling is that less and less of our choices are generated from our actual preferences.
I know that some people will disagree but I feel very strongly about this trend.
