Does it seems like many people enjoy to copy other people? With phrases, slogans, or something that brings back a certain memory? What point in history did we begin as a society to conduct ourselves in a manner where our daily speech patterns and the way we act and sometimes even move are copied from TV shows, Movies, or people we notice? Does every culture do this? Well according to social psychology some more than others. What makes it so that to be noticed a simple copy or reference to something that was previously performed will draw attention? This draws back to a prior thought that was all about originality, and if any thoughts, actions, or anything we do is actually original? I guess my big question is, does the mere copying decrease our originality or does it heighten it? Does it improve ourselves or restrict our mental capacity? Does simply copying or mimicking decrease our possibility to think outside the box? Obviously we do not walk around like complete zombies and constantly mimic and copy people with every action, but my broader question is, if copying or mimicking disappeared would more ingenuity or new ideas come about due to the disappearance of the habit of copy?
