Gloria Tesch's Analysis

As prominent leaders of the digital sphere, the value of the celebrity voice as a vehicle for political endorsement is rising. It is not the idea of celebrity endorsement that is new but the platforms and the reach that they afford has expanded. Wheeler (2012) has described this shift as the ‘interlinkage between political rhetoric and behaviour’ as ‘part of a historical continuum which offsets the modernist dismay directed to the

“My goal is around 100,000 hits on an article,” Ruoff states. According to him, Justin receives a flat rate of pay but earns more money if his articles gain more views. “If I don’t try to promote an article, but it was about a recent game, I can get around 30,000 hits.

The author targets those who watch or at least have heard of the new rising stars. It also focuses on the public that uses the media as a source to be part of the “virtual revolution”

Historians constantly discuss the establishment of communism in Eastern Europe following World War II, a major topic being the Soviet Union’s occupation of The German Democratic Republic (GDR). The governing of the GDR by the Socialist Unity Party (SED) is frequently analysed, particularly operations against any perceived resistance to the stability of a socialist state. Erica Riemann was one perceived enemy, serving over eight years as a political prisoner after drawing a bow on a picture of Josef Stalin when she was fourteen, and she provides oral testimony of her experiences nearly fifty years later (Molloy 2009). This essay argues that the main value of Riemann’s testimony is an insight into the lengths that the SED went to in order to

1.In the piece of writing by Jessica Statsky, she writes about children 's sports and how they should not be competitive. In making this claim she uses certain evidence to make her point valid. In one of her pieces of evidence she uses states that, "That a twelve-year-old trying to throw a curve ball, for example, may put abnormal strain on developing arm and shoulder muscles, sometimes resulting in lifelong injuries: (Statsky, 350). From this evidence Statsky is trying to make the claim that sports are hurting children and could put a risk on their bodies and the development of their bodies, if they put too much strain on themselves. Another piece of information Stasky uses says, "The kids get so scared. They get hit once and they don 't wont anything to do with football anymore. They 'll sit on the bench and pretend their leg hurts" (Stasky, 350). In the evidence that Stasky uses is good, but it is not very ordinary situations that occur. She also does not provide any personal experience to go along with her writing. Which in the end, would make the paper sound better and let the audience know that she has her own experiences with playing sports at a young age.

At many conventions across the nation, “cosplay” is a staple piece. Cosplay, short for costume play, is a type of performance art where people outfit themselves with elaborate costumes and accessories to become their favorite characters. While the practice originated in Japan, by the early 90’s it gained traction in North America and is now present at almost every comic-convention.

I have read through five articles of celebrity gossip on blogger, Perez Hilton’s website. Some of the articles were older and I also read the up to date gossip. In my opinion, the function of celebrity gossip in today’s society is to help the fame of any celebrity. The purpose of the negative or positive information is only going to help or hurt the celebrity and in some cases, such as Janet Jackson’s breast being reviled at the Super Bowl, helped her more than it hurt her. As for blogs about celebrities helping maintain stability and order in our society, I believe that it serves no purpose and also create false perceptions of the real world. Today’s youth can easily be influenced by the celebrity gossip. The media and blogs create a distortion

670,000 people. Internet famous poet, Madisen Kuhn, has 670,000 followers on Tumblr. To put it into perspective, that amount of people could fill Soldier Field to capacity about 11 times (ESPN). Kuhn has been a part of Tumblr for about 5 years now, and her writing continues to gain supporters every day. Although Kuhn is very young, her poetry is influenced by the tragedies of her past and also her hope for a better future.

Weishar also gives an example on the fact that although there are people who do not give in to the hype that the media creates on these celebrities, there are still millions of people who buy into it. “Not everyone buys into this corporate pop-culture non-sense, and not all pop-culture is created by corporations. Social media has allowed us to create our own pop-culture behind the scenes, but at the same time we follow trends more than ever and they are often dictated by celebrities on outlets like twitter. Celebrities like Kardashian who get paid $10,000 every time she promotes a product in 140 characters or less” (par. 13). In a society that has been enveloped by social media, these celebrities have more power than ever before, and they utilize this niche by creating several social trends that they know the majority will follow. With new trends created every day, and celebrities dictating on how people should live their lives, how does this benefit the population on focusing on what’s necessary?
