Today’s society lives in a world that would cause much confusion to others in the past. The people who are “known” are not necessarily people who are loved. Many so called celebrities have just as many haters and they do fans, but that does not stop them from becoming a household name. For example, the Kardashians are a household name across the world. Many people love them, but just as many people love to hate them. Even though, people do not like them it does not stop the family from being one of the most known families in the world. Even if someone has a strong hatred for the family, it does not mean that their name won’t ever come out of their mouth. The love hate relationship society has with the Kardashians reflect how in this society

The kardashians are like Aristotle, they are born into the fame and lifestyle that as they go on with life, they expect the best. Vincent Van Gogh is like Epictetus, they both started from a small and as time went by there work became known. Even though they are still well known, only Epictetus had to work for his name. Aristotle still had challenges he had to overcome but he will never be able to say I went through this situations so I know what you're going to as Epictetus can.
As a thirty-five year old, Caucasian female, Britney came from an unstable home life. Britney Spears experienced major successes in her life, but went through some major losses. As a group, we are analyzing the period in Spears’s life that she seemed to break away from social norms and had odd behaviors: such as alcohol abuse, drug abuse, vulgar public actions, and changes to her appearance. We intend to approach this period in her life with a sociocultural perspective in order to get to the root of her spiral and how she came back on top.

As she was being known for her music she was then determined to be known as an actor as well. Then, Beyonce finally made her appearance in her acting career. “ In 2009, Beyonce also made her first movie appearance in a role that didn’t involve music.”(Beyonce 2011). Before making an appearance on a movie, she made one in The Pink Panther with steve Martin, a comedy superstar, in 2006. The Pink Panther was popular worldwide and made over 159 million dollars.

Standing up for what one believes in can be a challenging task because no one knows what the outcome may be. It is all about striving for an impactful result hoping that the world be more accepting and less judgmental. In the passage “Small Change” written by Malcolm Gladwell, he makes a compelling argument that deals with the issue of making a difference in the world, both social media or in the form of hierarchy. Social activism has different variations for people to become aware of any news or trends present in the world. Hierarchy, which means "A body of persons or things ranked in grades, orders, or classes, one above another,” is the best form of movement that one may take in order to establish a change in the world because people tend
When you're a Kardashian, you just can't seem to steer away from reality shows. Even though Rob Kardashian had been reclusive for a long time and he didn't appear in his famous family's reality show, Keeping Up With The Kardashians, for years. Now, he's reclaiming his throne as the king of reality shows and he wants to do it with Blac Chyna.
This is the biggest source of confusion regarding Kim. What exactly can she do? She doesn't sing, dance and we all know how horrible of an actor she is. She's simply there to look good and that's it. What happens when her looks begin to fade? Spoiler alert: she'll become irrelevant. On the plus side, at least America won't hate her as much once she's out of the spotlight. Perhaps North West will take her
Watching reality TV shows like Keeping Up With the Kardashians where reality TV stars become famous by just living a luxurious life, teens or even adults might be encouraged that anyone can be famous by going on TV status and just “being themselves”, without any efforts or special talents. As John Humphrys points out, 'we tell kids what matters is being a celebrity and we wonder why some behave the way they do. This can build their desire of fame and to pursue celebrity status while ignoring the importance of education. Hence, reality TV discourages the value of hard work and education (IDEA,
Pop artist Andy Warhol first famously coined, “everyone will be famous for fifteen minutes” (2) in a Time article that we can now reflect and agree with the statement. Reality TV and youtube opened new doors for waves of people that could become famous overnight. Reality stars are a prime example of the type of stars that have no talent and are often times just ‘regular people’. These people get put in a living situation in which the camera keeps rolling until they get anything entertaining that can be cut and edited into a show. Kim Kardashian, Nicole Elizabeth Polizzi (also known as Snooki), Courtney Stodden and many more of these reality stars have all turned into household names in which we made famous by watching mindless reality television.
Have you ever wondered what influences us to behave the way we do? Look a certain way? Or even looked for an explanation to what causes us to apply a certain perspective regarding personal and controversial issues? One of the answers to these questions may revolve around the influence we absorb from celebrities. A definitive term for celebrity is an iconic figure to a category or group who has achieved success in one or multiple aspects of their lives. As a result, these individuals have drawn in publicity and fame. Over the years with the advances in media and other forms of communication, celebrities have become topics of discussion worldwide, rather if it’s at school, with colleagues or at the dinner table, it is fair to say that
A star’s image is a concept carefully molded by the celebrity himself or herself with the aid of many factors such as audience reception and current ideological trends. Star image, by definition, given by O’Shaughnessy and Stadler, is “the qualities, ideals, and values that a star represents, based on their films and other performances, and on media information circulated about them” (430). A change of star image encompasses the sum of everything we, as in the audience, affiliate with that star. That means changing the star’s body of work, promotion, publicity, and audience practices. These factors put together is also known as star text (Professor Josh Jackson, September 8, 2016, University of California, Berkeley). Jennifer Lawrence had a particular star text before she took on the role of Katniss Everdeen in The Hunger Games and was instead known for her role of Ree Dolly in Winter’s Bone. This new role launched Lawrence into a different star text she was previously known for. Though it seemed like the change is solely based on her landing an already popular role, the change in her star text is still calculated in order for her to maintain a certain image that landed her at the top of the celebrity social ladder. This careful manipulation of a celebrity’s image as she takes on a role that guaranteed a big impact on her acting career demonstrates how a star’s image is important when it comes to maintaining what the celebrity, and everyone who is working with that
