How Role Models Have Changed Over The Years

We can all form an opinion on what we believe it takes in our society these days to become famous, a ‘SUPERSTAR’ ..some may call them. However everyone can agree that our perspective on what makes someone a role model, and famous has completely changed over the years. If you research the people that were the main public figures years ago, you will see that most of these people were in politics, women and men who made a significant difference in our society. These days who are the people in the public eye, Paris Hilton? Do we really find it appropriate to look up to some of the people who are labeled as ‘superstars’? We have all labeled, in our minds what we believe gets a person ahead in their career, does this not say something about how out perspective on the world has changed over the years? We have children these days looking up to men and woman who are not realistic examples, somewhere between sex tapes and photo retouching our view upon people in the public eye has changed. We have so many aspects of our lives that change overtime, but we can decide who we want our ‘superstars’ to be, it’s simple. Magazines earn their money from us, the consumers buying their products, and what do they have in these magazines? Gossip, pictures of partially naked people, and a warped view upon reality. If we decide it’s not okay to look up to these people all we have to do is stop encouraging them and not buy into it. We can decide if we want our kids to look up to half naked stars, or people in politics. But do we love these ‘superstars’ lives too much? Are we addicted to them?
