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.

"As long as I can remember, I've been the kind of person who wants to share the things that makes life better" (Winfrey). This quote best fits Oprah because she is a caring person out in the society today and in the past. She has impacted the lives of many humans in the united states and also other countries in the world. Oprah Winfrey was born on January 29, 1954, in Kosciusko, Mississippi. Her childhood consists of being lonely, unhappy, and friendless. When she was young girl, her parents left her. She had no brothers and sisters. She was the only child. So, she had to move in with her grandmother and live with her. Her grandmother lived on an old rustic farm in the country
Oprah Winfrey was born to a teenaged mother and spent her infant years with her grandmother. At the age of six, she went to live with her mother. She was left alone for most of the day due to Venita’s job as a housekeeper. While she was gone, her male relatives came to visit and abused her. Once she was old enough, she flew out to Nashville to live with her father. There, she accomplished many important things to her career. She won the Miss Black Tennessee Pageant and won a scholarship to the State University and was offered a job on the radio at WVOL (the local radio station in Nashville). After a couple of years having that job, she was offered to be the very first African-American Women to host a talk show. During this time she faced many
What exactly is the definition of promiscuous? Most people would say being sexy, others might think it’s being revealing. Promiscuous is defined as having or involving many sexual partners, as said from the Merriam Webster dictionary. If that’s the case, the Kardashian clan falls into that category. The Kardashians are known for plowing through many successful lovers. This consistent hobby has gained them a major spot in the spotlight. It has also started their known “careers” and is responsible for their many businesses and fortune. Their platform promotes young girls to be sexual.
Can you imagine going through poverty, sexual abuse, harassment, and racial discrimination and then being able to overcome the trauma? Yes, it seems almost unheard of but Oprah Winfrey managed to do it. These are extremely dreadful things to have to experience. She was able to not only overcome these obstacles but to also become a better person for it and affect lives of many people. Oprah inspired so many people and has made herself a name that will never be forgotten.
The uprising of gay and lesbian entertainment in shows such as “Will & Grace,” Showtime series “Queer As Folk” and “The L Word,” has overthrown the former cookie cutter husband and wife TV series. Gay and lesbian affairs in the media emerged quickly after the coming out of Ellen Degeneres in her hit sitcom, “Ellen.” The comedian now has her own daytime talk show, achieving mainstream popularity for obvious reasons: she’s funny, down-to-earth, and openly gay. In earlier decades homosexuality was previously limited to a closet of taboos, where no one knew about it, and no one admitted to it. Primetime programming would never house a show in which gay men and lesbian women openly discussed their sex lives and sexual preferences, nor a show that based its entire plotline on gay and lesbian couples.
Heroes innovate and change the way the world goes about its day to day life. Ordinary people can be heroes when they have enough perseverance to extraordinary deeds. Heroes are leaders who are caring, honorable, and brave. Heroes are people who put others’ needs before their own. These individuals sacrifice themselves for anyone. Oprah Winfrey is a hero to thousands of people across the world many being women and children.
“Oprah Winfrey arguably has more influence on the culture than any university president, politician, political or religious leader, except perhaps the pope.”
