Joseph Epstein “The Culture of Celebrity”

And at least two outside sources

Here is the question that needs to be answered:

In Joseph Epstein’s article, “The Culture of Celebrity,” he      quotes Dostoyevsky’s The Brothers      Karamazov, stating “So long as man remains free, he strives for      nothing so incessantly and painfully as to find someone to worship” and      goes on to say, “If contemporary celebrities are the best thing society      has on offer as living gods for us to worship, this is not good news.”      Epstein clearly asserts that our current fascination and cultivation of      celebrity culture has a detrimental effect on our society. Do you agree or      disagree with this assessment? Take a stand on this issue, using examples      from Epstein as well as outside examples present in our culture today.
