fame is not only for attention, but to have a sense of uniqueness and individuality: “Being unique among 6 million people requires a lot of work”. Smalley notes the appeal of fame may be fuelled by parents’ praise of uniqueness during childhood. Prevalence of social media in current society also encourages people to share themselves with the world. Due to its high accessibility, people are likely to seek out attention from “everyone who will listen”. Similarly to Atwood, Duffy in Text 3 suggests…

their news feed or what they are doing. This matters because if gossip is taken too far, people could start making up ideas of celebrities which might not be true, yet if it is done in moderation, then it is fine to gossip with friends, family, etc. In Palmer's article, he argues “I’d rather bond with someone over the latest antics of a celebrity than all the other dark topics in the news,” (paragraph 1). People like to talk about their absolute favorite celebrities to forget about what is going…

The Hollywood culture is made of looks, a great name, and who holds the most captivation (Blakemore, 2015). The patient, Joan Crawford, reinvented herself completely and has stopped at nothing to reach the top of stardom. The glitz and glamour to her is necessary, and without it Joan feels unfit to be in the public eye. Sources illustrate Joan as receiving eye and dental work, over dramatizing her make-up, and sexually exploiting herself to become famous (Blakemore, 2015). Joan also has…

Aside from the album sales, Twitter mentions and hundreds of rounds of concerts, an artist can be tagged as impressive when he or she reaped a multitude array of awards from coveted award-giving firms. An artist does not need to be known within the widest scale for the trophies, citations and nominations drawn on his or her wake are enough to establish the talent emanating from within. Yes, it will be an added bonus if the majority of the crown adored a certain star, however, for those who…

It does not seem like an uncommon dream for a person to wish they were rich and famous but when we look at some people who become famous very young it seems like it might not be all that exciting after all. Canadian born pop star Justin Bieber is currently one of those troubled young famous people. Justin Bieber became successful at a young age and it seemed right away people started trying to get some of his money and accuse him of stuff that he did not do. Justin Bieber survived his first…

Beauty Begins With You Beauty is in the eye of the beholder, they say. I believe beauty is evolving and therefore there is no true definition. However, I think beauty should be beyond superficial and materialistic - it should be internal – what’s skin deep. Our qualities make us beautiful since it’s what truly defines who we are. I think beauty should be compared to happiness rather than appearance because after all, when we are happy, we are able to see beauty in ourselves and in others that…

raised to accept people for who they are and not judge them on the way they appear. I never completely practiced these beliefs mainly due to ignorance of the moral. I would occasionally act stuck up depending on the company present, always changing my pretense to everyone else’s agenda. Essentially, I was a young man that needed to quit with the façade and find himself. Upon entering my freshman year of high school I had no “real” friends, I had acquaintances. They were mostly people…

In life people have to deal with all sorts of situations big and small. Social psychology has broken down how we deal with those situations into six dyads that are meant to show how we deal with the situations that we confront (Kenrick, D., Neuberg, S., Cialdini R. 2007). The first dyad is that different persons respond differently to the same situation (Kenrick, D., Neuberg, S., Cialdini R. 2007). For an example, let us say that an experiment in which a social scientist is trying to find out…

When he started telling people it’s what he thought of me it was to the point and my way or the highway. He did not listen or care what other people thought of me. The stereotypes I had were very emotional presence and I also very over communicative about everything. I thought all my friends had to know and I expected them to also give this male the silent treatment. Which some did and the other did not give him the silent…

The more accomplished lady just wanted to concentrate on her numbers and wanted everybody to go by what she felt was right. Individuals were getting very aggressive and confrontational because they had ideas that they thought should be looked into. People were more worried on what they wanted to the group to do instead of actually deciding and agreeing on what was best for the group. Group members were not letting each other state their opinions of what they thought were best. Group members…
