Lifestyle was originally coined by Austrian psychologist Alfred Alder in 1929. The current broader sense of the word dates from 1961. In sociology, a lifestyle is the way a person lives. A lifestyle is a characteristic bundle of of behaviors that makes sense to both others and oneself in a given time and place, including social relations, consuption, entertaiment, and dress. The behaviors and convencional ways of doing things, adn resoned actions, A lifestyle typical also reflects an individuals attitudes, values or wordview. Therefore, a lifestyle is a means of forging a sense of self and to create cultural symbols that resonate with personal identity. not all aspects of a lifestyle are entirely voluntaristic.
Surrounding social and technical systems can constrain the lifestyle chpice avaiable to the individual and the symbols she/he is able to priject to others and the self

The lines between personal identity and the everydays doings that signal a particular lifestyle become blurred in modern society. For example,"green lifestyle" means holding belief and enganging in a activities that consume fewer resources and produces less harmful waste, and deriving a sense of self from holding these beliefs and engaging in these activities. Some commentators argue that, in modernity, the cornestone of lifestyle constructions is consumtion beharvior, which offers the possibility to create and further individualize the self with different products or services that signal different ways of life.
