Don T Get Me Started Joey Essex
Flicking through your TV guide just got better: Joey Essex makes his way back onto our screens. Great!

Honestly, I’m not sure whether it’s the fact I’ve grown up but, I’ve become increasingly miffed by some of the trends, fads, and crazes that are religiously followed by my peers. If you’re unfamiliar with the oeuvre of reality TV’s latest star, Joey Essex, let me explain.

He’s not the smartest person I’ve ever seen.

As characters on Britain’s much-loved soap documentary we, as viewers, have the great pleasure of watching the compelling struggle of Essex life unfold. We get to join them as they addresses such life changing issues like name of guy or girl they met last night – most likely in a drunken state.

To be fair, ‘The Only Way is Essex’, doesn’t host the brightest sparks; nevertheless, I’ve got a bone to pick Joey Essex. I remember strolling around Boots one afternoon before coming across ‘Fusey’. Among other products in his clothing line, which constantly seem to be seeping their way into the real world, by far the worst has to be the hair care. Rushing to be him, boys up and down the country raid every shop’s supply of hair gel eventually achieving The ‘Joey Shine’. His popularity genuinely makes my head spin. Unlike his, however, mine isn’t the size of a pea.

Throughout time, which Joey still fails to get into that pea head of his, many people have played a similar aspirational role: authors, musicians, actors or even models. Understandably, these role models actually have something valuable for us to model ourselves on whereas Joey failed to identify the country boarding Wales despite living in it. From time to time, as you well know, we all like to be a bit idiotic, and I would hate to ever seem stuck up, but since when was it ‘cool’ to be so thick you’re practically moronic?

You may tell me that intelligence isn’t everything, and that perhaps Joey has something to offer in the styling department. There’s no denying that he’s a good-looking

    “Gym, Tanning, Laundry”, these three words have become increasingly popular among teenagers because of MTV’s hit reality television show, Jersey Shore. Television shows and their stars can become very influential to many of their viewers. Many of these viewers strive to be like these stars and mimic their style and attitude, in hopes of living the same careless lifestyle that has made these stars known around the world. Unfortunately, these television shows don’t always portray certain aspects of life realistically, and therefore send a false message that can be very deceiving. Studies show that television shows tend to follow several popular trends that do indeed portray the wrong reality.…

    We continue to buy and follow up on the new trends, fashion, beauty, drama, and gossip, even though it is what is impacted our culture. People magazine’s audience might not even realize they are influenced or basing their reality on false advertisement and information from people that are only interested in gaining more consumers for the most attractive and interesting issue. People magazines have done plenty of covers and follow-ups on the Kardashians, which most people are fascinated in knowing what is going in their lives, which has even spread to other medias, such as having their own television show. We continue to spread and create this culture by changing our ways to the “Kardashian ways” or other influences from magazines that we see, other than our own natural ways of living. Paying for every copy leads and gives People magazines to produce more issues and covers as technology and trends change. As a society, we are creating this culture by following and being these realities that we are not. We are hooked and intrigued with these tabloids and what the new trends or ideals of beauty are to keep evolving to look, act, and even behave like the famous people on the covers of these magazines we buy. I find it crazy how even parents are allowing their kids to dress and act like these people we idolize that is far from what…

    In his essay “Hidden Intellectualism” Gerald Graff offers a critique of the education system for overlooking the intellectual potential of those who possess unconventional “street smarts”. We as a society assume that only the inherently weighty academic subjects grant us “true” knowledge, and that knowledge in subjects such as fashion, sports or even dating holds no intellectual tenor. The problem with this assumption, Graff insists, is that the educational value of these subjects is being completely over-looked.…

    I’m not as glamorous as I might seem. I’m just an ordinary student in 10th grade, who likes to learn things. Others may be more charismatic or handsome, but I have something that they do not. I posses an essential life skill; initiative. You (as the readers from the National Honors Society) may think that what I am saying is absurd, but I am here to prove my worth one paragraph at a time. I am a well educated individual who has repeatedly demonstrated initiative and high standards of reliability.…

    As an avid listener and creator of hip hop music, I have noticed a growing trend in the bay area: rap about what brands you wear. Whether it be Nike, Vans, Bape, or Dickies, the message seems clear: you are what you wear. Even the term "bling, bling" is so deeply associated with hip-hop that you can't say it without an image of a big, gaudy necklace popping into your head. And immediately after that, you think, "that's something a rapper would wear." It's no secret why. The hip-hop culture has been portraying a certain image since it's birth in the late 1970's and has been exploited by big name companies since then.…

    With the de-regulation of multiple government policies on industries, a failing economy, record setting recession and the booming crack-cocaine sales on the streets with Hip-Hop music employing all the facets of larger than life model of life styles, fashion sense became more of a headline than the issues that plagued the ’80s era. People simply wanted to live outside of what their day to day experience was. It was an era where what you wore, watched on TV, listened to on the radio, how you danced and pretty much all your actions was fed to through the mainstream media to the trending youth.…

    Identity & Belonging

    Our identity can be derived in great part from our environments. Whether it be our home, school, work or sporting club, each of these external aspects can have a larger impact on our sense of self than we realise. Demonstrated by Lawler, Emma’s Carlton boarding house in the play provides his central characters with an environment to which helps form part of their identities. The ‘lay-off’ has become an annual routine and thus is the reason why Olive fails to leave the past behind her and ‘come out of [her] day-dream long enough to take a grown-up look at the lay-off.’ The tropics of North Queensland are home to Roo and Barney for seven months of the year, where they spend their days ‘sloggin it out under the sun’ working as cane-cutters. This idea of people being shaped by their environment is also evident in ‘The Cane-cutters’, a short YouTube film, made by The National Film Board (1948), where the men are made to be tough due to the exhausting and physical work they do; ‘stoop, chop, straighten, top’. The men’s’ identities are influenced greatly by their physical environment and occupation, as they would not be able to survive in that type of setting without doing so.…
