In today's society people are told exactly what to do from how they should look to what they should drive. It is nearly impossible for one to avoid this media propaganda in day-to-day life. Everyday that we wake up, and go to work or school, media and corporate advertisements become part of our daily life. It has become a constant influence and "brainwashing" in our life. We have become addicts to this media driven world and our side effect is depression for people that can no longer think for them-selves and have become lost. With all that being said the real target to this propaganda is young adults and teenagers. With in all the propaganda celebrities are used to sell products from different corporations. Celebrities also use their influence on young people with out even knowing.
Celebrities are the role models of many, especially younger aged people. They are idolized and copied. Their actions have some of the biggest influences on our generation, mostly because of the hype created by the media. Their actions are constantly being talked about in the media, and to society's growing youth, this has caused a great problem. They do outrageous things and are often involved in scandals. Their lifestyles themselves are often one big scandal. They are thought of as god-like, so what they do must not be wrong. They are famous, so they are always right; they have to be. This is the perception of American citizens. They think it is okay to imitate celebrities from what they wear to the lives they live, because they are of higher class. They are the role models, even though they are corrupting the morals of people. Especially now with programs such as MTV, celebrities are being exposed everyday, and these innocent children and teens are being forced images and guidelines to follow in order to be like their favorite celebrity. This is a danger to society. It changes and corrupts everyone's morals.

    American culture has been shaped and influence by visual entertainment in so many ways. Celebrities influence our society every day. In this society celebrities have a large impact on people life. From cars to fashion trends, the way they live, their attractiveness of a celebrity lifestyle, can influence a person behavior and their beliefs. Celebrities even have this weight loss thing going on, as if it’s not ok to be overweight. This often starts at an early age in a kid’s life. My oldest niece is 10 years old and she wants to be like ever young star she sees on TV. She always tells me she can’t eat too much because she doesn’t want to gain too much weight. It’s crazy because she actually sits at the table and pretends as if she isn’t really hungry. She chooses to imitate Hannah Montana. She love her she look up to her as an idol. As a child I looked up to celebrities because they all had big money. Any celebrity you know has a nice car, house, and job. Jennifer Hudson has this commercial for weight watcher where it shows how much weight she has loss. It has gotten me to the point where I want to try losing some weight. The way the celebrities live make you want more in life. I want to make enough money so I can put my boys through college and live comfortable lives were I want have to work all my life. Celebrities influence society in a good and bad way it all depends on how you were raise and were you want to go in life. Like my mother always told her girls “It’s not where you come from in life it were you want to go in life”. In some ways it influences children in a bad way, when they have different movies of artists acting out in a ghetto movie. Some artist plays the dope dealer or the gang banger in a movie. My son love movies like that for some odd reason this type of action gets their attentions. Every time I see him looking at a gangster movie I tell him to turn the TV and put on some cartoon. He…

    Imagine Michael Jordan walking down a busy street wearing a new pair of Nike shoes, holding a Pepsi in his left hand. He is grasping an Iphone 7 in his right hand, jamming out to some tunes with Sony headphones enveloping his ears. Citizens along the road acknowledge his existence, noticing how “cool” he seems with his “cool” items, heeding the name brands that Michael Jordan seemingly supports. Celebrities are popular, therefore what they advertise is simply and utterly awesome, right? Perhaps...However, this is a type of propaganda that companies use to promote their products. Too easily, consumers follow the examples of popular celebrities as they feel more comfortable purchasing something that someone well known is promoting. Donna Woolfolk…

    You always read something new about the hottest celebrity every week, it's always something bad. They either got arrested, is pregnant, or is caught up in some sort of sex scandal. Eventually, young children and teens read tabloids and watch the news and see their celebrity "role models" doing one of those things. Children with no common sense would go out and try to be like them. No one actually wants to be someone who has done something great. Think about it, everyone wants to be like Paris Hilton or Lindsey Lohan and no one wants to be Amelia Earheart or Hilary Clinton. I'm obviously against celebrities as role models.…

    The media affects our thought patterns, expectations, priorities and relationships. The advertising industry influences parents by making them feel that they can buy their children's love. They accomplish this through linking love and guilt with the purchase of products. Instead of being a good parent, they minimize they're guilt by buying their kid the newest product on the market. Parents spend approximately 16 hours a week with their children; while they're children spend about 40 hours a week on any sort of media. This shocking statistic shows just exactly what is most influential in a child’s life. The media especially preys on kids and teens under the age of 24, because this is when they're brains are most impressionable. You’ve probably noticed many teenagers imitating the dress and even the speech patterns of the rich and famous. Take the Kardashian’s for example, how many girls do you see trying to talk like Kim or look like…

    Young people nowadays need role models more than they ever needed before. We can see that crimes rates involving youngsters are increasing worldwide. One of the possible causes is that parents are more consumed with their careers and their children are left unsupervised throughout the day. Young people spend their leisure time watching movies, updating themselves on the latest trends and gossip concerning celebrities. With the publicity surrounding the celebrities, it is not a surprise that they are the number one choice as role models. Celebrities are well-known people who work hard to entertain us and by doing so they catch the public eye because of their fabulous talent. They work hard to give their best impression and earn a lot of money doing what they love. Some celebrities get too engrossed in their art that they cannot differentiate what is real anymore yet young people still aspire to be like them. Youngsters are too fascinated by their idols that they sometimes get carried away, thinking that all celebrities are perfect role models, they try to walk like them, speak like them and act like them. The reality is celebrities are not the ideal role models for young people. Celebrities do not have ethical responsibilities to set good examples for young people because acting or singing is just profession, they are in the spotlight causes the media put them there and they are also human beings who are prone to make mistakes.…

    The celebrities of the modern day are not role models to children, as they exhibit bad and illegitimate behaviour. Celebrities make bad reputations for themselves and most have lost many fans because of this. After watching these unfitting superstars for all of their lives, and noticing that their parents have done the same, the children of the twenty- first century are caring more about “Justin Beibers’ arrest in Miami for graffiti”, then the starving children in Africa and saving the endangered Blue Whale. Our children are growing up thinking that it is okay to ignore the…
