Overwhelming celebrity-filled society.



Checking out at most stores these days includes glancing at the numerous tabloids for purchase, for those who desperately need to know who actor Jennifer Aniston is dating, or what actor Jessica Alba's newborn looks like. Yes folks, we live in a celebrity-obsessed society where information on the stars is at our daily grasp. It's probably not wrong to assume that American citizens know more about celebrities' lives than the ones and actions of political figures in our country; the ones who make the differences. This is another way in which media is controlling toward consumers. The media delivers constant information on celebrities. As a result, Americans who swallow this news, feel like they know these celebrities personally. They become enveloped in their lives. It's not just television that sells celebrities. It's radio, newspaper, Internet, and magazine.
