How celebrity fan culture affects social culture

By: Carmen Ballesteros Botin

Media, celebrities and social influence

Powerful influence that celebrities can have on those who identify closely with their mediated images.

Role modeling values – for example, athletes. Somebody you look up to

People developing strong identification with these role models

Celebrity identification and their mediated social influence

Celebrity influence through social media

Change the way we look or act

Boost your character

What makes someone a celebrity is their ability to gain attention

Looking down on yourself after comparing their look to the pictures and wanting to change

Changing looks, behavior, good influence? Changing yourself

Positive side

Some celebrities inspire us in a positive way

Showing passion for example sports men making them push harder at a certain sport, or keep working at a talent because its all worth it in the end

Promoting things like charities is a positive side to having a larger audience

Negative side

Being good looking is how someone defines you

When a celebrity decides to change their lifestyle, so do many others by setting ”trends”

Becoming insecure because of the standards being set.

Changing the way you do things because they think its “cool”

Conclusions

Everything goes through social media which is being used on a daily base

Good or bad, people will change because of it

Having a role model is great, but having it for the right reason is more important

In all, people change, instead of changing to fit in, or to look/feel cool, try changing to be better you
