As she grew up into a superstar, a massive amount of ordinary people started to take interest in her lifestyle. In the sociocultural perspective, the state of gender impacts the way a person acts (Rathus, 2010). As a female celebrity, the media exploits her body image for other viewers. According to the American Sociological Association, media outlets “report on celebrities’ bodies and fashion styles, sometimes offering a price and purchasing information to assist imitative consumption” (Kurzman, 2007). For Britney, the paparazzi feeds on her lifestyle for the demand of people interested in the life she lives. Due to the capitalist mindset of the media, Britney felt that she had no escape from the bombardment of other people. The environment of a popstar evidently shows factors of stress that caused her outrages.
Today celebrities are more known just for the attention they generate and not their achievements. Turner stressed this notion and it was something I never pondered about before. Amal Clooney came to mind when reading. She is a world-renowned human rights attorney but is often only referred to as “George Clooney’s wife” by the public. Amal Clooney is a classic example of the tremendous shift from years past in how we identify celebrities and even who we identify as celebrities. In fact, today many celebrities haven’t even accomplished anything noteworthy.
The celebrities in the media are typically portrayed as people we should look up to and let guide us. They use artifice to make themselves come across and trustworthy and generous, when in reality they are just the opposite. One serious problem has surfaced this year regarding the sexual harassment of actresses in Hollywood. Producers, directors, and other actors have been using artifice to keep their crimes a secret from the public. One of the most noteworthy examples is the accusations made against film executive and producer, Harvey Weinstein. Over eighty women have stepped forward to share their stories about his

Media sensationalism creates an interesting phenomenon; more often than not, the comments made by varying levels of popular culture stars become catch phrases, buzz words, and the be-all end-all definition of an individual. These occurrences happen, for better or worse, and an individual becomes intrinsically linked to those statements for the rest of their living life and well after. Sometimes these comments are uplifting and promote the betterment of man; but sometimes they serve to berate or belittle a group as well, often times with very little thought being put into what has been disseminated. In either case, they are merely the opinions of an individual who happens to be famous. At times, the subject of opinion may hold little

While many people may be familiar with the story of the French Revolution and history of Marie Antoinette, they may not fully comprehend the lively debate that continues to exist around Marie Antoinette. A debate over how Marie Antoinette should be remembered exists, with some arguing that Antoinette was spoiled and careless and others taking the stance that Antoinette was a victim of her harsh circumstances. Before delving into this controversy, background knowledge of Marie Antoinette’s life can assist in understanding the controversy.

In order to be a commendable role model, you must have the courage to perform what is virtuous. Although it may be difficult in front of all the lights and cameras, celebrities fail to have this trait and consequently cannot be seen as exemplars. Under any circumstance a role model must put the right foot forward and direct its followers to a better way of life. Famous people are consistently infected with what is known as the “stardom disease”. Despite a strong promise to stay moral, celebrities always find themselves spiraling into some form of turmoil. The cause of their downfalls is that they do not have the fortitude to remain on the righteous path and avoid doing what is wrong. Britney Spears did not have the bravery to reject the idea of getting drunk and marrying off to a man she did not truly love. As a result, her actions reflect her weakness and
