6. Cultural Exchange Innovation Diffusion Acculturation
The gold miners wanted clothes that were strong and did not tear easily. In 1853, Leob Strauss started a wholesale business, supplying clothes. Strauss later changed his name from Leob to Levi.
Diffusion
During WWII jeans were introduced to the world by American soldiers, who sometimes wore them when they were off duty. In the 1950's, denim became popular with young people. It was the symbol of the teenage rebel on T.V. and in movies. Some schools banned the wearing of jeans.
Acculturation
Different styles of jeans were made to match the 60's fashions. In many non-western countries, jeans became a symbol of “western decadence” and were very hard to get. In the summer of '99 Tom Ford's feathered, beaded, beat-up, torn-knee Gucci blue jeans, seen globally, sell out instantaneously at $3715 a pop.

Ask your parents this question when discussing your allowance.
“Will you give me $200 a month allowance or a penny on the first day of the month and double my total every day? (1 cent on day one, 2 cents on day two, 4 cents on day three, 8 cents on day four etc…)”
Which one would they choose? Which one would YOU choose?
