A trend was a shift in societal opinions which led to action. In 2369, Data attributed the dropping of the prefix "Pel" from Orton's family's surname to the recent Arkarian trend toward a society that was more egalitarian. (TNG: "Starship Mine" ) In 2370, Garak advised Quark that there was nothing worse than following the wrong trend, and suggested that he discourage Natima Lang from associating with the Cardassian Underground, as she might get caught in the crossfire were they to become unpopular.

- A trend is "[a] series of related measurements that indicates a defined direction or a predictable future result."
- Cultural trend, a measurable change in behavior that develops among a population of individuals. As opposed to fads, trends are usually longer lasting and indicative of a broader cultural shift. While trends can result from technological change (the Internet and cellphones facilitated home-offices and flex-time, for example), the reverse is more common, as exemplified by the broad adoption of green technologies in response to a widespread cultural embrace of environmentalism.
