Dreams are just dreams until you make them come to life. How far would you go to live your dreams? Would you follow orders from the media? I have witnessed how the media has shaped the behavior of my classmates, neighbors, and friends. I have witnessed how the media promotes twerking, beauty, sex, drugs, and extreme thinness. I have witnessed how the media declares what is feminine and masculine. I have witnessed how the media has made us ignorant. But most importantly, I have witnessed how the media has created the person I am today. We learn habits and behavior from the media that surrounds us. Everything we see or hear has to affect us in some way. The media controls a vast portion of our everyday lives. However, I will specify on the ways …show more content…
Miley decided to be explicit in order to clarify the message that she is a mature individual; an individual that is now grown up and mature enough to make her own decisions. However, her actions demonstrate the complete opposite. She was the talk of the media when she was fined for twerking on a Mexican flag during one of her concerts in Mexico. Hundreds of girls were present when she tortured the flag. This can only say that it is perfectly normal to express in such a way. The message is that women have to act sexy. Miley’s only goal in the media is to gain attention, acknowledgement, and respect. These girls want to be liberated themselves, so they look up to Miley for guidance. In addition, girls are like Miley in a sense that they ignore insults or negativity towards them (mostly from their family.) Miley’s fans feel that they can express themselves in such a way. This reinforces the idea that women should look attractive if they want to be acknowledged. These and many more negative messages lead to depression within women if they don’t act as the female figure that the world expects. This learned behavior is passed from generation to generation, and makes those behaviors become normal
Media has changed a lot over time, and it can play a role in not knowing your true self. It can take you away from not knowing your true self by changing your thoughts over something. The media plays a large role because it is our main source of information, we listen to weather reports, financial reports, political reports and we let that information lead our lives. It often times relates to how we feel, are
Beyonce Knowles, daughter of Tina and Mathew Knowles, was born on September 4, 1981, in Houston, Texas. As a child she was a shy child her parents put her in a dance class to try and get her to not be as shy. She did love to dance so she didn’t really mind. The dance teacher then heard her sing and she convinced Beyonce to go into the talent show, and she won. Ever since then she loved singing. She grew up around it because her parents would always have music playing. From then on she continued to do what she loved and that was singing. By her thirtieth birthday she was known internationally for being a famous singer, songwriter, and an actor. Therefore, Beyonce Knowles is a significant person because she was the lead vocalist of the R&B group Destiny’s Child, being a top selling artist with sold out tours, and she followed her dreams of being known as an actor and singer.
Mostly everyone is familiar with the highly controversial and famous Miley Cyrus, a Disney star and role model to millions of young girls. Miley started her career rather innocently on a Disney show, and because of that she soon became an icon to countless girls who watched her show and listened to her cute pop songs, however, this was the young and innocent Miley. As she grew older, Miley began to change for the worse, all due to the extreme oversexualization by the media. This girl has had secret relationships and pregnancy scares; she has been pole dancing, has gotten high and even participated in a risqué photo shoot (with her father nonetheless) all before she was even an adult. Now what kind of example does this set for young girls? The infuriating part about this is that Miley cannot even be held fully accountable for her actions because she’s the victim! The media has taken a sweet, innocent, young actress and pop singer and transformed her into a dirty slut, all before she became an adult!
Many people know of Miley Cyrus, a famous singer and actor, but do you know who Noah Cyrus is? Probably not. Noah Cyrus is Miley's younger sister, She is just as talented at singing, but gets a lot less attention. The song that I chose, "Make Me Cry" is changing that for her. It is a popular song that was released on November 15, 2016 in the pop genre. She created it with the writer artist Labrinth. Even though they are competing in the music world, Miley is very supportive of her sister, and hopes she is successful in the future.
As humans, we go through life believing we control every action we take, but subconsciously we have been primed and programmed to think a certain way. The ways in which we ultimately carry out these thoughts depends upon the imagery, rhetoric, and framing of the media found in our lives. For as long as we chose to watch, read and view the media we will be susceptible to the influence of the material
I. “Oh baby, baby, how was I supposed to know That something wasn’t right here Oh baby, baby, I shouldn’t have let you go And now you’re out of sight yeah” a. From one of the best-selling single of all time, that was “… Baby One More Time” by Britney Spears II.
Miley has influenced bountiful young girls when she was young and innocent, also when she was barbarian. Now as she has changed, the girls that have looked up to her for so countless years, continued looking up to her. Creating nasty videos, partying, getting drunk, caused all these young girls to follow when they reached that age. I would tell her that she need to act respectable for a lady that is a role model for lots of people, and could change many lives in her future. Some more advice
Miley Cyrus is hosting the 2015 MTV Music Video Awards, which will broadcast on August 30th at 9pm (Eastern standard time). The pop singer made the announcement on social media via Instagram. Cyrus posted a double-sided photo; one photo featured her wearing an alien mask while wearing a sign that read, "MTV won't let me perform." The other photo showed Cyrus without the alien mask with a sign that read, "So I'm hosting this year's VMAs." The pop singer has not performed at the VMAs since 2013, for which she famously appeared onstage with Robin Thicke. Thicke performed his big hit "Blurred Lines," while Cyrus twerked while sporting very little clothing. The awards show has not had a host in three years; the last hist was Kevin Hart in 2012.
Humans look to people of high prestige and begin following them in hopes of receiving the same kind of power and wealth as the celebrities do. That’s the reason the younger generation looks up to modern female celebrities of today. They want to find a way to gain fame and prestige and that doesn’t necessarily mean following an exactly intellectual model. On one of Miley Cyrus’s Instagram post she captions the picture of her during a concert, “ Sh!tz bout to get weal fweaky #mileycyrusandherdeadpetz #milkymilkymilktour” The picture is Miley herself posing in scandalous clothing during a concert. With women like these influencing our girls, how can we can expect them to remain intellectual? All around them are pressures to fit in, read less and use text-speak. It’s diminishing the need for
Miley Cyrus, best known for her ever-so innocent role in Hannah Montana, still catches American by surprise with her stunts. From her 2013 VMA performance, to her constantly changing edgy style, she’s a perfect example of and individualistic and non-conforming celebrity. In today’s society, it is expected for celebrities to set the gold standard for how the rest of us should dress, act, etc. But not Miley. She doesn’t concern herself with fitting in or being accepted by others. She goes about her daily life making her life decisions based on how she wants to live- not caring what others think. Although her decisions may not be the wisest, she should still be looked up to for her freethinking approach on life. Many of us cannot say that we
The world of free streaming music was dealt a great blow when country/pop mega-starlet Taylor Swift pulled her entire catalog from streaming giant Spotify two days ago. Clearly heartbroken and beside itself with grief, Spotify responded on their blog: “We love Taylor Swift, and our more than 40 million users love her even more – nearly 16 million of them have played her songs in the last 30 days, and she’s on over 19 million playlists. We hope she’ll change her mind and join us in building a new music economy that works for everyone. We believe fans should be able to listen to music wherever and whenever they want, and that artists have an absolute right to be paid for their work and protected from piracy. That’s why we pay nearly 70% of our revenue back to the music community. PS – Taylor, we were both young when we first saw you, but now there’s more than 40 million of us who want you to stay, stay, stay. It’s a love
Miley is now showing her audience and telling her listeners negative advice that may impact on future decisions. Portraying illegal activities are healing and furthermore helping you, slowly making you think that they may even aid in social awkwardness and gaining friends, the song is sung with enthusiasm. Not only is Miley participating in drugs, she is also making it look okay for others to try even when it is illegal. Therefore blinding her
Appearing naked swinging on a wrecking ball, many claimed this was inappropriate for young girls to see as their role model; but Miley seems to be trying to normalize this for women, allow them to control their sexuality, not allow men to define it. It’s consistently pointed out if star women are sexual but when male stars have naked women in their music videos it is not questioned. This double standard is furthered with the use of drugs; shortly before the release of the video, Miley smoked weed at a MTV Europe music awards in Amsterdam, which outraged people although drug use by male stars is widely
Miley Cyrus just started working on the show The Voice and now sources are revealing that she is butting heads with Adam Levine. Adam has been around on the show for years, so these two are going to have to figure out a way to get along. Both are great musicians and can help out their team a lot if they can keep the drama off the show. US Magazine revealed what a source had to say about Miley and Adam's feud on the set.
Hannah Montana and its craze died down a few years later, but Miley’s popularity surely didn’t. After saying goodbye to Hannah Montana for good, Miley dropped the good girl act and moved on to an edgier lifestyle. Her edgier lifestyle now includes revealing a lot more skin, constantly sticking her tongue out, graphic performances, drugs, partying, and much more. She went from Disney star to pop star and entered the industry of music with an entirely new view on life. Although half of her fan base claim the “new” Miley is obscene or corrupt and the other half believe she is an iconic element of American popular music today, Miley Cyrus’s music and lifestyle impacts her audience and fans with a proclaimed deeper meaning. I would like to inform my reader’s in an unbiased way about Miley Cyrus’s performances and the hidden messages embedded within her songs in which a lot of people over see because of the known drastic changes Miley has recently taken throughout the course of her
