Imitation.
Imitation is the conscious or unconscious adherence to a certain standard in behavior, appearance, choice of preferences, etc.
The tendency to imitate in a person is formed in infancy and early childhood, when a child, observing the world around him and people, isolates for himself the most attractive patterns of behavior, which he begins to follow. Imitation is an important component of a person's socialization, his admission to a society of his own kind. At the stage of the formation of life principles, a person uses imitation as an opportunity to adopt the style of behavior of the person most attractive to his imagination.
In imitation, both positive and negative aspects can be considered. At the stage of personality formation, imitation helps to get closer to other people, to rank oneself in a certain group, to develop a certain style of behavior. Imitation makes sense if it is a driving force in a person's life path, stimulates him to acquire certain useful skills (for example, imitation in learning languages, in the manner of dress, in an effort to reach certain heights in business).
Imitation is harmful if a person thoughtlessly follows other people's behavior, without analyzing or evaluating their actions. Imitation can lead to problems in personal or professional life if a person, all the time imitating someone, did not manage to develop his own life criteria, because the turns of fate can be unpredictable, and at some point you need to make your own unique decision, and not follow someone else's experience and someone else's example.
