I was very shy. I was insecure. I needed to feel liked and loved, which is why most people go into this business. I wasn’t ever motivated to say, “I’ll show them.” I kept doing comedy out of love—when it works, there’s nothing better than making people laugh. There’s no better feeling.”(Time) Ellen said this when asked about how she wants to change the world. Ellen speaks out on her show and has many guests appear on her show to talk and share their stories. Ellen has many celebrities perform and talk on her show. She’s a comedian so she likes to make people laugh and have

Although a majority of public figures do not identify themselves as Franciscan or consciously follow Franciscan values, plenty of them unconsciously use social media to fulfill Franciscan values such as creating a caring community, showing compassion, and making peace. Ellen Degeneres, ranked number four on Forbes Most Influential Women in Media, out ranked public figures such as Oprah Winfrey, Diane Sawyer, Barbara Walters, and Tyra Banks due to her enormous social media following (Blakeley, 2012). Degeneres uses social medium platforms such as Twitter and Facebook to foster friendship, spread kindness, care for the poor and oppressed, and promote non-violence.

In today's society one of the things that we hold dearest to our hearts are celebrities. We watch them on our favorite tv shows, we listen to them sing, and we watch them walk on the runway. But are they good role models towards teens? No celebrities are not good role models to kids of all ages. Celebrities can cause teen drinking, they can cause teens to have a lower self esteem of themselves, and the create a sense of disillusionment.

In today’s society there are many issues that we face. There are thousands of people that live on the streets; they have no food to eat, no family, and no one to help them. There is the elderly who don’t have any one to help them cook or clean; there’s not enough people that want to help out. The issues in today’s society are not just in the United States, they are world-wide. In some countries they have it worse problems than those in our country. In these other countries they too have children who go hungry and have nowhere to live. They are also faced with natural disasters, and they have no means to help those affected by them. This is why it is important for capable people, like celebrities, to give back and help those who are less fortunate.

Ellen DeGeneres is a comical genius. She can take the most inane situations and use them to deliver punch lines with impeccable timing and inflection. Her warm and disarming deadpan combined with a quick wit has made her a favorite personality on daytime TV. Ellen’s comedy is based on intelligent observation rather than mean-spirited attack or scatological filler. The way she keeps us laughing, crying, and of course dancing, helps us live lighter, happier, better lives. So it’s a little preposterous that some are labeling her a racist for a recently tweeted meme about Olympic gold medalist Usain Bolt.

One of the most charitable celebrities, Ellen Degeneres, is a prime example of this. Ellen is one of the most beloved comedians of the past 3 decades, and the success of her daily talk show has helped brand her into a pop culture icon. Ellen often brings people onto her show and gives them gifts, but most of the time she brings people in need who show acts of selflessness on her show and recognizes their efforts. For example, Ellen once reimbursed a waitress and single mother for paying for the meals of two service people, along with giving her a $10,000 check. Along with this, Ellen has been an active member of the LGBTQ community, being openly gay and speaking about her marriage to Portia De Rossi. Degeneres also supports 45 different charities, and has dedicated her celebrity to making the future bright for many

“I hope I make people feel better. I hope I take people out of their situations a little bit and make them happier. That's really why I do what I do” (Degeneres). Ellen DeGeneres is regarded as one of America’s greatest female television personalities of all time, and is also a prominent gay role model. Besides becoming a household name in the spheres of the American entertainment industry, her humorous and humanitarian self has garnered attention and love from people all around the globe. Her commendable talent, together with her courageous, generous and honest personality is what made her the influential figure she is today.

One in thirty kids in America are either homeless or living in poverty; that is, about 8 percent of American kids, which are increasing every year (“One in 30 American Children Is Homeless, Report Says”). Demi Lovato wants to help as many kids as she can. To do this she has spoken to people to write 104 articles on her and what she’s doing, she’s a part of 18 charities, and has made 5 videos to speak up. Even though Demi Lovato is a pop star, she is making a big impact for the kids in America and is a great role model for young people to inspire them to stand up for what they believe in. Since Demi Lovato has experienced bullying and many other things that kids are experiencing today, she has one of the best ways to help one another from her

Throughout most of my life Lindsay Diehl has always been a role model to me from the first open gym for softball I had with her she has taught all sorts of different things and during softball games she made sure I played to the best of my ability and nothing the less. She is a kind hearted person and can always tell when something is wrong or if you’re upset and she will do her best to make sure you are happy again. I honestly don’t know where I would be without her in my life because she is just such an incredible person and is devoted to each and every one of her students and the softball team. She would rather give up her social life then to give up coaching us because she has became so close to us and we would be a wreck if she left because that's how big of an impact she left on all of us. She has all the qualities that good leaders hold, and that’s why I chose to interview her.

When you take risks you learn that there will be times when you succeed and there will be times when you fail, and both are equally important” (Zack). Ellen DeGeneres came up with this quote because she loves helping people anyway she can. Ellen is a television talk show host. She was born on January 26, 1958, in Metairie, Louisiana.

Ellen DeGeneres is generous. (No pun intended.) DeGeneres gives to a bunch of charities. Some help animals, some help people in need and some help schools. She also gives to inspiring people to help pay for everyday expenses or to help with medical bills.

The role of celebrities, be it in sports or in entertainment, as a role model for youngsters is widely debated, with many people claiming that these famous personalities have hardly any didactic purpose to serve. In my opinion, this notion merits serious consideration.

I watch the Ellen Degeneres show regularly. The American talk show is about comedy, celebrity and human interested story. She usually listens to people life story and help them through their difficult circumstances like financial, transportation, etc. In her show, African-American, Asian, Hispanic and American are all presents, but mostly white female. I notice that almost 85% of her audiences are white female. After researching, the population of Burbank, where the show taped, the majority of the population was made up of American because the statistics shows that there are 55% American and 45% other races. I think most of them are white, especially female because Ellen is a role model for them. She portrayed a successful woman who is the
