An Example Of Moral Authority And Ethics : Miley Cyrus

NEWS: Miley Cyrus Launches Foundation for Homeless and LGBT Youth. In effort to make that a reality, Miley recently launched Happy Hippie Foundation which fights to raise money and awareness for homeless and LGBT youths. She also travels across the world to help out. “I do these hearing aids for deaf kids in Haiti. We go to the schools and fit the kids for hearing aids, and than go back and give them to the kids. It’s the craziest experience, because you go in and it’s so quiet, because no one’s ever talked. There are people who are 90 years old who’ve never talked at all.” (Miley cyrus on weed and Molly,Interview)“ Unless they want a weed-smoking, liberal freak.” “But my dream was never to sell lip gloss. My dream was to save that world.” Miley isn’t all about twerking, she does care about youth, homeless, and people in other countries and stuff. Miley has had an amazing opportunities to travel the world and be helpful and people just don't see that. They see her on the VMA stage “twerking on Robin Thicke” and her tongue out and naked on a wrecking ball and licking a sledgehammer, but maybe that’s not how she wants to be remember in this world. Therefore, this is why Miley will leave a lasting

For example, the pop sensation, Britney Spears, was arrested five times in 2006 for driving while intoxicated. Britney Spears is one of 156 celebrities that are arrested per year for the same charges. If a child observes these crimes enacted by the celebrities, the actions demonstrate activities that can lead to jail time and deeply affect their future. In conclusion, a boy or girl should not look up to celebrities for their immoral and scandalous enterprises.

In his book, “Money and Class in America,” Lewis Lapham states, “The ardor of the American faith in money easily surpasses the intensity achieved by other societies in other times and places.” This notion is the reoccurring theme in Lapham’s book. America is so taken with the idea that without money your achievements do not mean as much as they would if they came with a large sum of cash. We as a society value money over more important qualities such as knowledge or integrity.

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.

Athletes, singers, actors – what do all these people have in common? They’re idols; people who are loved, looked up to, and copied because they’re so good at what they do. They’re the examples every child patterns themselves after. But are they a good influence? Consider an athlete like Ray Rice, who plays well on the field, but beats his wife when the cameras aren’t looking. Or, an actor like Johnny Depp, who skillfully makes a story come to life on the screen, but slips into a drug-addict lifestyle like it’s a sweater. These are the people who will define our future – not who the new generation is, but who they look up to. If the wrong people are chosen to pattern ourselves after, it turns into chaos. For example, look at the Slender Man

Mostly everyone is familiar with the highly controversial and famous Miley Cyrus, a Disney star and role model to millions of young girls. Miley started her career rather innocently on a Disney show, and because of that she soon became an icon to countless girls who watched her show and listened to her cute pop songs, however, this was the young and innocent Miley. As she grew older, Miley began to change for the worse, all due to the extreme oversexualization by the media. This girl has had secret relationships and pregnancy scares; she has been pole dancing, has gotten high and even participated in a risqué photo shoot (with her father nonetheless) all before she was even an adult. Now what kind of example does this set for young girls? The infuriating part about this is that Miley cannot even be held fully accountable for her actions because she’s the victim! The media has taken a sweet, innocent, young actress and pop singer and transformed her into a dirty slut, all before she became an adult!

In today’s popular culture a big topic of discussion is pop singer, Miley Cyrus. She was a former star on Disney Channel’s Hannah Montana and now we have all seen her transformation from a girl to a woman. To avoid fading away like many other celebrity teen stars as they aged, Miley decided to reinvent herself as an adult musician by pushing the limits. Many people only see Miley Cyrus for her unadulterated VMA Performances and her frowned upon behavior, which most individuals don’t care to get to know. There is another side of Miley that has made a huge impact on society and has reached new levels in giving back to the community. Miley has dedicated herself to feminism, improving society’s image of women, leading the fight against LGBTQ discrimination, charity work, and using social media to expose societal issues.

Have you ever heard of any celebrities’ having irresponsible behaviors? What about ponderous, intangible actions? Or the actions of the celebrities’ hurting fans? We need to consider the role models that kids are acting on.

To illustrate, many still remember Miley Cyrus as the sweet pop-star and down to earth character from her role as Hannah Montana on Disney Channel. At some point many fans believed that the personality of Miley Cyrus corresponded to her role on Hannah Montana. In her honest interviews and real encounters with fans, people connected with her innocence and deemed her as a suitable role model for girls

Appearing naked swinging on a wrecking ball, many claimed this was inappropriate for young girls to see as their role model; but Miley seems to be trying to normalize this for women, allow them to control their sexuality, not allow men to define it. It’s consistently pointed out if star women are sexual but when male stars have naked women in their music videos it is not questioned. This double standard is furthered with the use of drugs; shortly before the release of the video, Miley smoked weed at a MTV Europe music awards in Amsterdam, which outraged people although drug use by male stars is widely

Many people look up to celebrities as role models and imitate their styles, interests, and attitudes. Admirers believe that celebrities’ success gives other people permission to act in the same way, even when these decisions and actions are frivolous or dangerous. A large amount of celebrities are good role models but there are still exceptions.

Disney is one of the most successful and largest companies in the world. They have their hand in nearly every form of entertainment as well as media, and broadcasting. Disney is best known for their animated films, unique cartoon characters, catchy musicals, and fairy tales that most of us were first introduced to as children. They are one of the few entertainment companies in the World whose primary demographic is children and teens. Nearly everybody is familiar with the Disney name and its brand, and its realistic to suggest that nearly everybody has experienced a Disney film and animated character at some point in their lives; which may have helped to influence them or their behaviors or even their

In the one-hour documentary, Miley: The Movement, pop sensation Miley Cyrus grants viewers extraordinary access into her exuberant and spirited life as she ascends to the top of the iTunes chart with her album Bangerz. As a teenage Disney princess, Miley accumulated millions of devoted fans; now, just a few years later, Miley’s suggestive music videos and public displays have permanently replaced the blond wig of her childhood image with an original and controversial persona while at the same time embracing her passion: music. Whether in the studio alongside Britney Spears, preparing for an unforgettable Video Music Award performance, or on set of her latest music video “Wrecking Ball,” Miley radiates confidence throughout her progressive

Role models in the media are also essential for young people. These are idols, actors, athletes, authors, politicians, revolutionaries or any other person who is known because of their fame. Media role models have a high influence over young people because they are often placed on a pedestal, and worshipped like gods. It is important for youth to be wary of negative media role models because they may glamorize truly wrong values. An example of this is seen if we look at Paris Hilton. She lives a fascinating and alluring lifestyle, yet was convicted for driving under the influence of alcohol. Because of her, many other young girls may believe that drinking and driving is okay, or even cool. Role models in the media are important because of the widespread effect they have on youth all over the world.

Nasra Bishumba interviewed singer Miley Cyrus and this is what Miley had to say, “My job isn’t to tell your kids how to act or how not to act because I’m still figuring that out for myself. To take that away from me is a bit selfish.” I agree with her because most of the celebrities our kids look up to are still kids their self, growing up and learning from their own mistakes. So how are we going to let our kids look up to other kids? Then of course there are others who see celebrities as good role models like Kristine Tucker. She stated, ‘’Celebrities who complete college coursework, have an interest in politics, write books, study literature, travel abroad or engage in debates showcase their intellectual skills.’’ Majority of the stars today’s youth look up to didn’t even finish school. They have their mangers write out statements to say in an interview to sound well educated or have others talk for them. This is not how we want our kids to learn. We don’t want them to speak the minds of others to sound well educated. We want for our kids to have a mind of their own, be-able
