Lesson 2 Parts of a Whole,
Emerging Patterns
Causes and Consequences
Identifying Parts of a Whole
It is mentioned that tends are formed from the combination of things. Thus, a
trend has constituent parts or portions that are interrelated. Their confluence, as well
as how the people adopt them, makes the trend viable, especially the megatrends and
gigatrends. Remember that microtrends can become macrotrends if they affect more
lives and societies. Then macrotrends can become a megatrend if it can affect a much
larger group for a long period like a decade. Megatrends can become gigatrends if
they have everlasting effects and influences. Therefore, it is evident that a larger
thing (a whole) consists of smaller things or parts.
Identifying Emerging Patterns
A pattern is a design, shape, form or configuration that emerges from
repetitious appearance of lines, curves, and behavior. In the study of trends,
repetitive behavior that gives rise to an emerging pattern is the main interest. Rehn
and Lindkvist (2013) categorized the activities into four that a trendspotter could find
handy to use as a tool to detect a trend.
Documentation
This means that you are able to record your observations which you consider
related to any trend. Whatever tool one uses, the important thing in documentation
is the ability to physically keep information and data wherever and whenever you
may be
Archive or Memory
This means being able to easily retrieve any documentation you have kept.
Nowadays, the most space-saving way of archiving is turning the physical into digital

Analysis
The stage where the examination and combination
happen. Looking for patterns on prospective trends can be
achieved through these methods: brainstorming, grouping,
and crafting combinations.
Presentation
This is representing your findings for easy understanding as a way of
analysis.
You can present your findings through, among others, a mood board and a
storyboard. A slideshow is also another option.
Identifying emerging patterns can be used to introduce to individuals,
organizations, and communities change, improvement, transformation, and new
opportunities.
Once patterns are identified, trends are given rational explanations for their
emergence or existence, and are provided with a better understanding of their
cultural origins.
Differentiating Relationship between Causes and Consequences
A cause refers to an agent that brings about a result or a consequence. A
consequence is always traceable to a cause which can be a person, thing, principle,
motive, act, or event. There is no cause without a consequence and vice versa.
Let’s Try!!
Direction: Make a short article about emerging pattern and how it affects the trends.
