Everybody Would Like to Be Rich and Famous
The question is: Would everybody like to be rich and famous? Obviouslly, we cannot generalize because every single person has a different opinion upon the subject. Subsequently I will analyse possible situations.
I strongly believe that anybody on this earth would like to be rich, or at least aim to be. Why? Simply because having enough money makes us feel stable and contempt with our own lives. Successful people always seem to aim for the best. So if we aim for the stars , we will most probably end up on the moon or further.
The statement „ Everybody would like to be famous „ is discussable( debateable).I consider that not everyone would actually like to be famous. Of course everybody enjoys being noticed but not many would like to sacrifice their personal life and peace just to be adored by a public.
I would categorize People who would like to be famous into 2 types. The first type of people who simply enjoy recieving attention from others but would not necessarily be famous for a good reason. For example, people in reality shows.
And the second type : people who have a professional career or are good at something and involuntarily become famous, like athletes, actors, singers, scientists, etc. Fame sometimes comes along with being successful and they have to cope with it weather they like it or not.
As a summary I believe that the statement : „ Everybody would like to be rich and famous „ is extremely partial, and would like to replace it with „ Some people would like to be rich and

    In the twenty-first century people are exposed to the media, whether it is the television, films, magazines or tabloid. Those individuals who are considered as celebrities plays an important role in people’s lives by acting as role models for those seeking guidance or advice, also influencing their body image perception with the impact of the neglected to fully appreciate the impacts that celebrities have on issues such as drug use, eating habits and cosmetic appearance. Consequently, many people possess a dream and imagine to become a principal or a famous in different subjects such as sport person, a television presenter or movie star. It is definitely not a bad dream, but I would argue that being a celebrity, whatever the field, brings…

    Megan Daum's Fame

    • 638 Words

    For example, a Nigerian celebrity Okuneye Idris Olarenwaju, also known as Bobrisky, he is famous for acting stupid and doing unnecessary things on social media. He was able to gather attention when he claimed he had a lover who is assumed to be masculine gender despite the Nigerian constitution at that point in time which made such same-sex relationships an offense punishable by serving 14 years in a penitentiary. He isn’t famous for the good that he has done but for the nonsense, he posts on his social media pages like Instagram and Snapchat. I can also relate this essay to Fame 101 because the author just like Daum talks about how people became famous due to the scandals that they have created. And, they both differentiated fame and fame-iness. In fame 101 the author states that “fame might be a misnomer as many people confuse it with celebrity, Barrack Obama has fame.” The author of fame 101 considers people who have impacted our society and people who have talent as famous people. Daum did the same thing in her essay, “unlike actual fame, which involves some talent and hard work, “fame-iness” requires little more than a willingness to humiliation…

    The concept of Celebrity and Fame are ones that affect relationships both positively and negatively. Fame refers to the state of being known by many people, and Celebrity is the noun for a famous person. The experiences and perspectives of celebrities who have gone through the process of Fame have all had their relationships affected by their status both positively and negatively - whether it is a celebrity's relationship with corporations, the concept of Fame or their peers and rivals. This statement is supported by Brian Caswell's novel _Asturias,_ Jay Z and Justin Timberlake's song _Holy Grail,_ and Donna Rockwell's article _'Fame is a Dangerous Drug: a phenomenal glimpse of celebrity"_ all showcase these arguments with textual evidence. In brief, textual evidence have been provided to establish the implications Fame present on a celebrity's relationships.…

    How many “celebrities” are famous for being rich or pretty? More than there should be. For example: the Kardashians—what talents do they have besides leeching off their step-daddy’s money or leaking their own nudes? With their millions of social media followers and millions of dollars, it’s hard to see a flaw in their life when they can pay three-thousand dollars to surgically remove a pimple. “Having a sizeable nest egg can keep people from becoming lonely and sad,” says Mary Beckman, author of “When Money Matters”. In the case of the rich and famous, this is…

    Rich and wealthy are all based on personal opinions. The average person does not desire to be rich, they just want enough money to live on, and maybe a little more for extras. For the average person, extras include vacations, newer cars, and newer phones. Another question to help answer the big question is, Do people need money to be happy in life?. Many people would say yes and argue that people can buy the things that make them happy. The other side might argue that the things that make people happiest cannot be bought. Such as love, family, and good health. If everyone can find what makes them happy in life, then that should help direct them to their American…

    Fame is heaven and hell for the influential among us. Of course, it is most of humanity’s goal to be remembered. No one wants to fade into obscurity, their life becoming nothing, but a wisp that doesn’t leave behind any lasting remains. However, if you are to become famous, your privacy and sense of security is stripped from you immediately. Any secret or past scandal will bubble to the surface.…

    Being popular and rich in “America Today” is defined as being successful. I don’t agree with this assumption but it’s acceptable in American culture. With fame and fortune you supposedly are happy and with the success of accumulating money you are truly happy. According to CNBC Reporter, Robert Frank, “Surveys show that among Americans, most say they need $1 million or more to feel wealthy”. Americans connect money with happiness. But it has been proven that money cannot guarantee one’s life will be filled with…

    Arthur Schopenhauer once said, “Wealth is like sea-water, the more we drink, the thirstier we become; and the same is true of fame.” People all around the world have many different beliefs about a variety of different things. These beliefs can be about science, religion, relationships, family values, or how to be successful. What about wealth? What do people think about being wealthy?…

    On June 25th, 2009, the world was thrown into a shocking standstill when hearing about the death of the famous King of Pop, Michael Jackson; who suffered from depression, anxiety and was ultimately killed by Cardiac arrest. Later we would witness the passing of many stars including Whitney Houston (2012), Prince (2016), and our dear Robin Williams (2014); driving us into what the Washington Post calls a “now all-too-familiar process: mourn[ing] the loss on social media, downloading music and re-watching old movie.” While we may honor their names, we tend to find reasons why these instances even came to pass; blaming their deaths on drugs, anxiety, and fame. Today, the words Popular and Fame are looked at cynically and with scorn. Many Parents and Advisors have strongly discouraged our youth from viewing success within Hollywood or celebrity lifestyles, especially if those with standards and restrictions in their religion. However, I believe that as a society it is wrong for us to predestine a career as unsuccessful or label an individual negatively based on their environment. When we are apart of such…

    For some reason, unknown to me, the human race tends to value and follow specific people because of a talent or look they have. Because we do this egos grow, stress levels increase, and the other "normal" people feel less of themselves. If this all happens, why do we put these special people on pedestals in the first place? Sara Voughn expresses perfectly how we should all behave. "I don't go for that star stuff. All the stars are in heaven." These words show how we are all equal, even though some believe this to be wrong.…

    Rich vs Poor

    Being famous does not necessary mean bring rich, and vice-versa. Both generally bring satisfaction if brought to one in a positive manner, or in a way he/she intended it to. Because being famous and being rich are both signs leading to success, which in most cases, is the human’s ultimate goal. Being just either rich or famous, other than being a positive thing, could produce highly negative and unwanted end results too. A huge percentage of people are famous as a result of all sorts of negativity, such as criminal acts and negative politics. At the same time, a good part of the world’s drug lords and terrorism-driven groups are fairly rich too. So when does being rich or famous become a good thing? Usually, a combination of being rich and famous, surprisingly, doesn’t do as much harm to coexisting peers, as the former would. Although criminals who fall under lists such as ‘FBI’s Most Wanted’, turn out to be rich and famous, regardless of how they got to where they are. But a bigger portion of the ‘rich and famous’ category are occupied by highly paid movie stars and sportsmen, neither of whom does much harm to the society.…

    Is Fame Good Or Bad?

    Phenomenom of fame is widespread around the world. Being famous today is not the same as it was 50-100 years ago. Andy Warhol once said : In the future everyone will have their 15 minutes of fame. Well, in my opinion, that time has come. People from all around the world are trying to get their way out there on the stage. It has become easy to acquire fame, but difficult to keep it. People get famous for doing nothing and the ones who want to become famous don't have many obstacles on their way. They can just apply on a reality show and soon their names will be on the tops of „the most searched“ lists on Google and Yahoo, and not to mention the yellow press. Little girls and boys from all around the world are, when asked what do they want to be when they grow up, usually answering that they want to be famous. Fame has lost its value. Celebrities with or without justified reasons to be famous are followed by a bunch of paparazzi each day. They are getting interviewed and photographed for worthless magazines intended for masses. Their private lives become a matter of abstraction and are endangered. As for those whose fame is a result of hard work, talent, high IQ or great achievements, their fame is well-earned. Such are, for example, great writers, mathematicians and artists. They are usually the ones who are, no matter how good they are at what they do, less famous than the ones who deserve it less. That is good because they don't need to sacrifice their private lives, they have their freedom of expression + they make a lot of money.…
