How sad if this is actually true, if a celebrity decides to downgrade a teenager for a diasblity they can't control. First off individuals with autism and all other disablities are actually smarter than you may believe. They see this world for what it really is and more. I am tired of people making it seem like being different is a bad thing when actually normality is. A lot of disabled individuals are in college, have a family, and some are wealthy despite they're disablities. For you to point out they're dissimilarity between what you feel is acceptable and what they are is a
Stereotypes tend to be made by those who lack understanding whether is unintentional or not. Understanding is the key to accepting and valuing all differences. Whether it is about our race, gender, religion, sexual orientation, or whatever else makes up an individual’s identity. It is this lack of understanding that normally leads to stereotyped views, prejudice and discrimination. This sadly is mostly the case for those with autistic spectrum conditions and has a large affect on not only the
Celebrity bodies is an essay written by Cultural critic, Daniel Harris. The essay starts off by talking about the fatal heart attacks of two Uruguayan fashion models after eating nothing but lettuce leaves in the months before her death. He tries to inform the audience the negative effects of society on Hollywood and also who is to blame for what has happened to Hollywood, in his essay and he explains how everyone is so caught up into doing anything possible to look like the famous celebrities with "fit" bodies such as Beyonce and Jlo. He explains how many women do not take in consideration the healthy eating and the rigorous exercise plans that these famous people have to go through in order to keep their bodies looking "thin" or "fit". In
People constantly try to gain direction and insight from their evaluations of other people. One such way they do so is through stereotypes. Stereotypes are cognitive constructs involving an individual’s half-truths and distorted realities knowledge, expectations, and beliefs about human groups. As such, racial stereotypes are constructed beliefs that all members of the same race share certain specific characteristics. In America, the media and Hollywood play an integral role in entrenching and dispelling these stereotypes. However, Hollywood and the media create characters according to stereotypes to attract an audience, from which the viewers can reflect on and laugh at the stereotypes recognizable within American society. This paper seeks to discuss the common stereotypes in American society and how the media and Hollywood promotes those stereotypes and their impacts.
A “Good” Obsession A lot of people feel that celebrity obsessions are good and healthy. This is what Collin Palmer, in his short essay response to Deborah King, argues. I, however, disagree with Palmer because one simple celebrity obsession can ruin someone’s life.

When reading the first chapter of Ten Things Every Child with Autism wishes you Knew by Ellen Notbohm, multiple thoughts ran through my head. I honestly feel that she did an excellent job expressing the thoughts about autism. In my point of view autism is so much more than a diagnosis. Two important people in my life have autism and honestly, they are the most amazing individuals I have ever met. The authors words that brought tears to my eyes was, “My autism is part of who I am, not all of who I am” (Notbohm 17). This statement moved me, because individuals with autism are so much more than a label. Individuals that have autism are talented, intelligent, caring, kind, and funny. We should not judge or treat an individual different by the way they express themselves. Each individual is unique and should be able to express themselves in their personal way instead of being labeled in a negative way. I have personally encounter individuals use words such as, “that autistic boy” or “just leave him other there, he doesn’t understand the material because he is autistic”. When I hear people says these negative things, it makes me angry and sad, because I believe that they have not fully comprehended the diagnosis as well as not allow themselves to get to know
I bet you’ve seen at least one before. You know, those articles on the news about someone with autism, doing something amazing that any typical person would never envision them doing. Getting elected homecoming king, being on a cheerleading team, or carrying out an act of kindness that even non-autistic people wouldn’t ever consider are just some of the things that I’ve seen. Though these are spectacular self-esteem lifters for these individuals, warm and fuzzy stories for the public and excellent publicity for wherever they occur, many often forget that autism is a spectrum condition, and functioning levels vary, from wheelchair bound individuals to those in society whose names everyone recognizes.

The millennial generation has seen the evolution of media representation. As our generation continues to advance and take on careers in casting and media representation we are able to challenge every previous ideal about what people want to see on stage and screen. The stages and screens are meant to be a place for people to come view reflections of our society and societies spanning the globe. 2016 is set to break previous boundaries for actors with autism. The representation of autism began its development as a way for unknown actors such as to break into the limelight for performing as a person with a lifelong development disability. Examples of this include Leonardo DiCaprio’s acclaimed performance in What’s Eating Gilbert Grape and Eddie
“When properly constructed, media representations of characters with disabilities may be able to provide new, more humanizing representations of people with disabilities for the public and to counter act negative models and stereotypes.” This statement, from the reading by EnglandKennedy, is proved by Glee’s portrayal of the character Artie Abrams. I chose to analyze this particular representation of a high schooler with a disability because of Glee’s large audience. The show attracts all ages, but younger viewers are mainly the targeted audience. The way in which Artie is portrayed could have a major impact on how the next generation views people with disabilities.
I believe celebrities can be a positive influence a couple of people may think they are poor influences because a few athletes yell at referees and suddenly kids do it too, but any celebrities can teach children about the hard work that it takes to become the best at anything. Celebrities have unbelievable upsides, they teach people that it takes hard work to be the best at anything. First, remarkable celebrities can be marvelous role models. According to “Adapted from the Impact Celebrities Have on Our Lives” states that,”Anglie Jolie is another celebrity who, although she had a very rocky and well-known past, has come to be one of the great spokeswoman about the living condition children in various third world countries face. ”(King 16)

How many of you know a famous person who has autism or aspergers? Just because you have a disorder does not mean that you can not still achieve a certain goal.
Kylie Jenner and her family, the Kardashian-Jenners, have perpetuated a culture that encourages the use of cosmetic procedures and body modification as the sole solution for our bodily insecurities. Kylie Jenner and her family engage the postmodern theory that we are a collection of parts brought together to form an ideal individual through their body modification practices. Kylie Jenner embodies the postmodern ideology that cosmetic surgery, body modification, and cultural appropriation are acceptable methods of self-actualization.
In Ralph Emerson’s essay “Self-Reliance”, he claims that individuals are not likely to follow their own views, but rather someone else’s, his claim is viable in today because society has created an increase in insecurity for those who follow their own view.
