Apples Jalandoni, field reporter for abs-cbn's news program bandila, interviewed me on the latest celebrity trend on middle-finger flicking. in a nutshell, i told her that the ongoing fad is a case of "copycat middle-finger flicking."
not only do we assume the values and attitudes of our authority figures, but also copy their behaviors. when we see authority figures flagrantly displaying outbursts of rage and obscene gestures, it sends the message that these are socially acceptable behaviors worthy of emulation.
