Kourtney Kardashian

For my pop study I wanted to explore social media from a different angle than normal. As we all know social media usage has exploded in the global culture. Social media is almost unable to escape. Every day we are influenced to “go like my page” or “follow me on twitter” or “show support by using hashtag (insert topic)”. It has gotten so out of control you can even order a pizza by tweeting at Dominos! Social media has become such a huge role in our everyday lives that it has even emerged in the…

public image intentionally to be viewed in a different light. The year 2014 was a break through for the now global sensation Kim Kardashian (Wong, 2016). Once known as a talentless reality TV star that gained fame not through her talents but rather for her connections as Paris Hilton’s assistant,her lawyer father in the OJ Simpson’s case and her infamous tape, Kim Kardashian has made a full transformation of her image to a now “powerful…

magazine, niche at best put Kim Kardashian on the cover of its November 2014 issue. Kardashian, a cult product of 21st century’s obsession with fame and wealth, became a goddess whose buttocks held a champagne glass in front of the lens of famed photographer Jean-Paul Goude. Another cover saw Kardashian showcasing her bare buttocks, which are coming out of a fabric that resembles a trash bag. Both covers serve as a majestic tribute to the Internet who crowned Kardashian as one of the most…

The new age of celebrity worshipping shows the negative impact and positive impact on social media. There’s nothing wrong with showing love to your favorite actress or singer but when it gets to the point of obsession that’s when we as a society needs to change the mindsets of the young generation. People who are overly obsesses with a particular favorite celebrity of theirs can sometimes end up having depression or even anxiety. There’s something good about showing love to your favorite actress…

Chuck Klosterman incorporates Perez Hilton, Kim Dotcom, and Julian Assange to a book of villains to corroborate the influence technocrats have on technology. Klosterman explains that what parents worried about in the past has changed due to the modification of technology since the Clinton presidency. Technocrats share the beliefs that the future makes the rules, so, we should just move with the changes because it's already happening whether we want it or not. The power that technocrats have it’s…

beat, the punks with their spiked hair and anarchistic views and, the Goths; full of obscurities, plastered in black. What are there now? Does individuality and eccentricity exist? Or are we all the same? Let’s face it, when the designations Kim Kardashian and Kylie Jenner…

the Kardashians. Both of these shows are about the lives of people but one is primarily men as the main characters and the other is primarily women. What both of these shows have in common is the characters are insane! Sal, Joe, Q, and Murr in impractical jokesters go around trying to do whatever the other guys tell them to do and most of the time the tasks are plain stupid. Yet throughout their stupidity they still get unbelievable ratings. On the other hand, Keeping Up with the Kardashians is…

society, gender, ethnicity and many other social themes. I also wanted to watch a variety of different genres to determine if they would deliver different messages about society. Within the sixty minutes, I watched segments from Keeping Up With the Kardashians, CNN, a Victoria’s Secret Bombshell Bra infomercial, Say Yes to the Dress, Friends, and the University of Florida vs. University of Georgia football game. As shown in the statistics I referenced earlier, it is safe to say Americans are…

Whether it is the Kardashians, the false reporting of a celebrity's death, or a Shakespearian era wedding gone awry, people are drawn to the drama caused by miscommunication. This truly shows the brilliance of Shakespeare for being able to understand this integral part of the…

Kim Richards of The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills has been through a rough year, but things are looking up for the reality star. This week Kim went on Brandi Glanville's podcast Unfiltered to speak out and share about how things are going for her now. Even though Kim took some time off the show to work on herself, fans want to know how she is doing. People shared what Kim had to say about life now and being sober. It does sound like Richards is doing great and working hard on staying sober.…
