Like most modern celebrities, Miley and Monroe both received their fame due to the movie industry and modern technologies of the time. Without the technological advances of the time, neither celebrity would have received near the amount of fame that they do now. Miley Cyrus and Marilyn Monroe are also very similar in their great wealth and egotism that comes with it.

For these reasons, Marilyn Monroe can be closely compared to similar “star” Miley Cyrus in the media

Miley is important to MHK students is that he supports the lower, working class of US citizens.

Miley Cyrus can easily be explained through the eyes of Sigmund Freud, the father of Psychoanalysis. Freud was the first to develop the “talking cure”, in which one makes their unconscious thoughts, beliefs, and motives, conscious by means of catharsis, or a free discharge of emotions.
