Negative Effects Of Being A Celebrity

What is Narcissistic Personality Disorder? Narcissistic Personality Disorder (NPD) is a mental disorder where someone has an exaggerated sense of their own presence, a need for constant admiration from others and they also have a lack of empathy for anyone (Mayo Clinic). A couple questions I have include: How does social media effect society? How does social media have an effect on someone diagnosed with NPD, What are ways you can help someone with NPD, and what are some ways we can conclude that someone may have NPD on social networking sites? Social media is what’s hot right now and someone diagnosed with NPD will only get wrapped up in its web and will be negatively impacted by it. The main focus of my research to further my knowledge includes: The risk factors social media have on someone diagnosed with NPD, signs on social media of someone who may have NPD, and so on.

Phallic narcissism: When an individual is elitist, a social climber, admiration seeking, self-promoting, bragging and empowered by

Kinicki and Fugate (2016) state that narcissism is a negative trait of inflated views of themselves, fantasize about being in control of everything, and like to attract the admiration of others (p. 509). The Air Force has provided

Unmasking the Beast: Infantilization, Abuse, and Loss of Agency in Hollywood and Pop Culture Children who grow up in Hollywood and pop culture should be provided with protected and safe environments where they feel empowered to voice their concerns and discomfort. Sadly, in many cases, producers, agents, and even sometimes parents exploit these young individuals for financial gain, prioritizing their own selfish needs over the well-being of the children they are responsible for. This toxic dynamic can lead to lasting trauma and detrimental effects that have been shown to cause behavior that seems out of character later in life. Abuse and scrutiny in the spotlight can lead to the infantilization and loss of agency in celebrities, particularly

A Celebrity “Obsession” People have always been fascinated, some even “obsessed” with celebrities. In Collin Palmer’s short essay response, he explains that Deborah King is exaggerating people’s interest in celebrities. He further points out that celebrities give us a break from our lives, as well as a great conversation starters. His are strong points, and I agree with him, having an interest in celebrities isn’t as terrible as King makes it seem. A lot of teenagers are busy, all the time, so most would want a break from their hectic lives.

In this world people put lots of stress on celebrities to be perfect all the time. Celebrities are worldwide. Celebrates cannot walk down the street without being bombarded by paparazzi. All of that comes with a reason. Kids look up to them, so celebrities have to be media train. Like with rappers, most of their characters portray a life full of crime and enjoyment. Children see that and they think its real life. Kids are on the internet doing ridiculous things to get frame. In this day and age with no free thinkers pop culture is effecting the youth.

Celebrities or famous people influences and cultures are forced into teenager’s faces, where they become a big names and are always seen, read or heard on radios/TV/magazines. This exposure to celebrity culture encourages teenagers to copy and try to have a lifestyle much like

Narcissism can be defined as “ a mental disorder in which people have an inflated sense of their own importance, a deep need for admiration and a lack of empathy for others. But behind this mask of ultra confidence lies a fragile self-esteem that 's vulnerable to the slightest criticism” (Narcissistic personality disorder, n.d.). With this disorder people generally are unhappy and disappointed when they are not privileged to special favors or given admiration they believe they deserve. With narcissistic personality disorder problems in many areas of life can arise such as work, school, financial affairs, and relationships.

Individuals with narcissistic personality disorder display an exaggerated sense of self-importance, a preoccupation with being admired, and a lack of empathy for the feelings of others (Pincus & Lukowitsky,2010; Ronningstam,2005,2009). Narcissistic personality disorder (NPD) is a personality

“Narcissism falls along the axis of what psychologists call personality disorders, one group that includes antisocial, dependent, histrionic, avoidant and borderline personalities. But by most measures, narcissism is one of the worst, if only because the narcissists themselves are so clueless” (Jeffery Kluger). Narcissists have high self-esteem both on the inside and the outside. They are more in love with themselves than anything else. Many people are so sure that they are narcissistic, but narcissism is more than high self-esteem and loving oneself more than anything; many people also fear having a personality disorder because of how mentally ill people were treated in the 1800s.

The impact of celebrities can be negative or positive. In his short essay response, Colin Palmer had some interesting points that Deborah King missed. One of the things she was missing was that we have been fascinating over celebrities for years it's only human nature that we continue to be fascinated by them. When Collin Palmer claims that it’s not a big deal that we want to be like celebrities, I agree. also I agree because People have been following celebrity trends forever,so it's only human nature that the next generation continues.

Narcissists ruin the bonds that kept the relationships together creating negative impacts on their social, family, and work life (Cherry 1). Narcissists create unrealistic goals and images of themselves, clouding their thought process and reasoning (Nakate 1). The behavioral issues can generate conflict with the people who are really close to them.

Coming from the point of view of a teen who is also an avid fan of movies and TV shows, I believe that child stars have it rough. Just think about it. How many child stars that haven’t gone bad have you heard of? Not many, right? Look at Lindsay Lohan, Amanda Bynes, Shia LaBeouf, Macaulay Culkin, and Drew Barrymore. What do they all have in common you ask? Well the answer is that they all either took drugs, drank, and smoked starting from a young age. Drew Barrymore isn’t as bad as she was before, but did you know that she started smoking at the age of 9, drinking at the age of 11, and doing drugs at the age of 13? That’s crazy, right? I would imagine that they feel a lot of pressure as well because the public feels that these child stars have

In today’s society, is the media mirroring our behavior, or are we mirroring the media’s portrayal of us? That question was posed in the documentary “The Merchants of Cool”, narrated by Douglas Rushkoff. This program examined the teenage culture and how the media is used to manipulate and portray our generation. With examples from Sprite, MTV, WB, and other massive media outlets, evidence is shown that our media-teenager relationship is tainted with sex, music, rebellion and a broad image of what it is to be “cool”. Most of the images portrayed of teenagers aren’t the best. With TV shows such as “MTV Spring Cruise”, teenagers are shown as sex-driven, reckless kids. TV corruption is just one of many examples of the blurred line between reality and perception in media and advertising.

One of the most popular teenage entertainers ever is warping the minds of our youth. Appearing on television commercials, MTV videos, many magazine covers, and the radio, Britney Spears is taking control of raising today’s children. Her perfect looks and sexual appeal have mesmerized young viewers. Children and teens strive to be just like her. Although some people allow their children to idolize Britney Spears, I now see that she is an inappropriate role model for her targeted audience of five to thirteen-year-olds.
