Pigtails, thick glasses, high waisted pants, and headgear. What do those words remind you of? Americas culture has stereotyped nerds and geeks like this. Many people, especially in the past, have felt ashamed and ostracized to be who they were. The word “nerd and geek” used to be a derogatory name according to Leonid Fridman the author of “America Needs Its Nerds”.

A celebrity that comes to mind is Donald Triumph; Mr. Triumph gives the impression of being self-conceited centered around self-image. I’m not surprised he gives off this type of vibe, lets not forget his a businessman first and a reality star second. Mr. Triumph is constantly selling himself and his brand even if it isn’t positive. Mr. Triumph gives the impression that he never turns off that obnoxious mentality; he must always put on a show.

Simultaneously, it’s agreed that we’ve all read one to many fourth grade story endings where it was just a dream and little Jimmy didn’t actually get eaten by a tiger.
