Imagine living in a world where teens are doing drugs, pressuring their peers, and trying to be just like the models in magazines. Unfortunately, that’s the world we live in today. What do these teens need? They need positive adult role models. It is important for a teen to be influenced by positive adult role models while growing up; because if they don’t have positive adult role models, teens can be influenced by negative media, negative peer pressure, and teen drug use.

Why are people so fascinated with celebrities? What makes people want to be like them? What are celebrities actually like? Facing these tough questions, Ty Burr in his essay “The Faces in the Mirror” forces readers to question their own answers. By explaining the history of celebrities and the worship of them, he gives readers a wealth of knowledge. Wisely, Burr immediately establishes his credibility so that readers know they can trust his educated point of view. His essay is full of strong logic. However, it lacks a substantial amount of hardcore facts. Furthermore, Burr effortlessly snatches the reader’s attention by using dramatic statements and achieving a sense of pathos.

Magazines, news, and social media all portray celebrities to be heroic and selfless people. All the kind, charitable acts these people do, are only for show. All they want is for their reputation to remain intact, but what's the point of having a good reputation if everything they do is an act? Celebrities may seem like they are kind people although most of them are using deception to get what they want. "His face was pale and his shirt was covered in blood. He went upstairs again with the lighted candle and came back down a moment later with the diamond in his hand" (Dumas 194). Cadaverous was only pretending to be kind to the jeweler and loyal to his wife in order to get the only thing he truly desired: fortune. He put on a mask and used it to his advantage. Knowing that he possessed the ability to manipulate everyone into doing what he wanted, the capability got to him and he went insane. After killing the jeweler, his wife, stealing 45,000 francs, and a diamond, he really got what he wanted. But at what price? The diamond Caderousse stole represents the greed and selfishness he carries in his heart because of all the control he thought he obtained. This same reaction happens to the speaker in the song "Viva La Vida". "I used to rule the world, seas would rise when I gave the word...One minute I held the key, next the walls were closed on me" (Coldplay 1 and 3). This person held the whole world in their hands, hypothetically, but with all the control and power they acquired, they were able to tell people what to do because of the influence he possessed. One day, it took over him and he no longer was doing what he wanted to be doing. He was using his influence for evil, not for good the way he wanted to. The key represents the authority and responsibility the speaker had while the walls represent the people realizing

In order to believe in one’s self, they must ignore what the world thinks of them. Emerson quotes, “whoso would be a man, must be a nonconformist.” (Emerson 271) this quote relates to not just the celebrities, but the everyday person. When one celebrity listens to what the world thinks of them they would probably never be the great star they are now. If the “average joe” listen to everybody listen to their peers they would end up doing nothing with their

In the article, “ The Impact Celebrities Have On Our Lives,” Deborah King explores the issue of celebrities impacting our lives, both negatively and positively. To begin with, she mentions that, today, we are overly obsessed with celebrities, whether they are positive or not. The author demonstrates that negative celebrities are more well-known than positive celebrities since they are mentioned on the news due to their salacious actions. Furthermore, King mentions that there are many positive celebrities that are famous despite the negative ones. In addition, she emphasizes that even positive actions performed by celebrities can get on the news, not just negative actions are publicised. Finally, King concludes the article by mentioning that

So many people have said, with regards to the Meryl-Trump incident that Celebrities don’t represent them, and that celebrities should stay out of politics. Here’s the thing: Celebrities many not represent each one of us individually, but rather a group of us as a whole. They show us that we can fulfill our dreams if we choose to work for it. They bring out the emotions that we never thought anyone else could possibly understand. Hollywood creates characters that are easy to find connections with. Of course, you may never have been a sharecropper in the 1930’s, but you can certainly identify with certain aspects of the sharecropper on the screen. Movies, Television, Film, etc. are all devices that matter because they work to try to give every

Each way, no matter how simple, makes a difference in someone’s life. There are a number of organizations that are able to make a difference in the world thanks to the stars that support them. When celebrities take time to get involved they not only help promote the organizations but they encourage others to get involved. When they help financially support a charity, they don’t always draw attention to the organization but they help keep it running so they can continue to help others. Actor Danny Trejo once stated “You can’t have this kind of lifestyle and not give

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

Celebrities are everywhere in the news, the latest gossip appears in the weekly magazines without fail. Whether they be an actor, athlete, dancer, designer, model, singer or just rich; there is someone out there who is watching that person like a hawk, not letting a single breath go unnoticed. Such is the life of the rich and famous, under the incessant gaze of journalists and the paparazzi. Lives that many people take a great interest in and admire to the point where others would liken this great interest and admiration to a cult-like worship of celebrities. This is a brief description of what I think to be celebrity culture.

I really hate the part of our culture where people want to come for celebrities when they feel they have done something problematic, but then completely ignore those same individuals when they correct their problematic behavior as well as do many other positive things with their influence. I will be the first to say there are a lot of extremely unjust practices and behaviors in what we see in the media and the lives/actions of celebrities, but spreading hate for those that actively attempt to make a positive impact with their influence and even recognize and correct their problematic behavior when it happens is completely idiotic and a step in the wrong direction. I get that everyone has their own opinions on what appeals to them in entertainment,

To others, it may seem that celebrity’s only say what they want to say about the charities to make themselves look like an involved person. When these charities take place, the organization throw expensive gathering with so much entertainment going on and to get the public to donate money, organizations invite well-known actors and singers. As said by Ilan Kapoor and Mark Wheeler in their article, “Should Celebrities Promote Charities”, Kapoor, who is against celebrities promoting charities, states that, “charity allows social inequality to continue unabated, the problem is compounded when celebrities are associated with it, their “star power” and spectacle only further divert public attention from the real social and economic causes of inequality” (Kapoor). It is true, having the face of celebrity on a charity only comes to show that instead of having the public aware what the cause really is, all the public is going to be focusing on is who is going to be there. It is almost as if they do not care for the cause at
