Recommended: Impact of media and society

Hello, my name is Mya Mannerfeldt, and today I'm going to be talking about people and the world in general. Things wrong with it and things that we should try and fix. There's a lot going on right now, so I thought this would be a less challenging topic to talk about due to all the information I could get out there and find. For example, if something happens to a celebrity that would happen to a normal person on a daily basis, people seem to make too big of a deal out of those things when there's other issues. I feel - along with other people - that there's more problems in the world other than Justin Biebers new girlfriend and what models use on their skin. There's way more harder problems that affect all of us, for example, war, shootings,

  • Celebrity Activism

    441 Words  | 1 Pages

    There are many celebrities who support and promote causes and charities to create awareness about peace, humanitarian causes, poverty, and illness in the world. Does celebrity activism really have the intention to help others or do celebrities get involved in it because they want to enhance their reputation? Although some celebrity activists do not have a good reputation because of their bad behavior, they contribute to society by giving donations or by supporting good causes. Celebrity activism matters because celebrities are powerful tools who raise awareness of good causes. Celebrities have the power to attract people’s attention, for instance, their fans, to influence them to support the important causes.

    Everyday is a chance to do something you would have never dreamed of doing and a chance to make society a better place. That is the beautiful thing about being an American, every person has the right and the opportunity to be incredible. When I get out of bed in the morning, I make it my personal mission to take advantage of my opportunities and make the world a better place. I believe that incredible things can be done through the smallest or largest actions. Last year, I saw the impact one baseball game can have on an entire community. That event taught me that because I have the right, I have the obligation to do the things I can to improve the lives of others everyday.

  • Chris Brown Research Paper

    698 Words  | 2 Pages

    Few care to admit their flaws to society. What may be considered a weakness to some may be the complete opposite for others, and while we all indeed have weaknesses, a select few tend to display courage enough to confess to their flaws and weaknesses to the public eye. This would make the individual vulnerable, and being vulnerable is one of the most frightening situations in the world. I give you Chris Brown, a man who has been decimated by the media. His once squeaky clean image is now forever under constant scrutiny due solely to the commencement of his never-ending polarizing character. I still recall his debut in the entertainment business. Literally every teenage girl I knew in high school was swooning over the kid, he was a publicist's dream, and literally everything he was associated with was simply adored and devoured by his fans. He had all of the girls asking: “Damn, how can I meet him?” and the guys asking: “How can I be like him?” The man is a walking firework, the epitome of a celebrity. Chris, like many others in his field are dedicated to a masterful craft which deliberately deals with garnering attention. These people will do just about anything to stay in the public eye, most of their jobs are to literally sell lifestyles which they ironically, hardly practice themselves.

  • Should Celebrities Have On Our Lives Deborah King Analysis

    805 Words  | 2 Pages

    In King’s article, “The Impact Celebrities Have on Our Lives”, she states, “Angelina Jolie is another celebrity who, although she had a very rocky and well-known past, has come to be one of the great spokeswomen about the living conditions children in various third world countries face, and was given the title of UNHCR Goodwill Ambassador in 2001” (6). This shows that some people can actually have a tragic past, and still get themselves out in the world, exactly like Angelina Jolie. If Angelina Jolie can recover, can’t someone else recover from an obsession? The article, “Celebrities: Why are some people obsessed with celebrities?” by Oliver J. R. Cooper, states, “A consequence of this childhood trauma is that one's true self is covered up and denied. It creates a disconnection from what is actually true and real. [...] This means that all that has yet to be realized on the inside will then be projected externally and onto other people. And one will then have a tendency to look up to people that display the characteristics that they have yet to realise themselves.” This shows, as someone is recovering, they will use celebrities as a comfort-since they didn’t have anyone else. This isn’t exactly an obsession, but perhaps, a diversion. Over time, you will grow tired of it, and move on, like everyone else. So even though King has been trying to put teens on the ‘right’ path, while most of the time, it will

  • The Importance of Open-Mindedness and Social Awareness

    860 Words  | 2 Pages

    Throughout life you meet many different people and encounter many different personalities. This at first confused me because sometimes due to this people cannot understand or respect each other's opinions and feelings, but after realizing that there are so many people with different ideals all over the world I realized how close minded my views were. I can even use my home country as an example. As a child I was raised to believe that there is equal opportunity but learned eventually this is not the case in America due to things such as institutionalized racism. Nothing is perfect but there are some things in the world that could be helped or prevented and people often fail to take notice of these problems. Things such as water shortages, energy pollution, and dwindling fossil fuels often fall behind things like what clothes someone famous is wearing. Everyone may not be socially aware of what is going on around them but, I think that people who support my views would agree with me when I say the people who are worried about these kind of problems have to be prepared to think of some kind of solution to these problems. They have to work harder to actually help with these problems and they need the work ethic and selflessness to put themselves aside and do it for the
