“Freedom is not worth having if it does not include the freedom to make mistakes.” <\/em><\/p>\n

\u2013 Mahatma Gandhi<\/em><\/p>\n

Celebrities are influencers who influence people to be more like them and what they stand for. The image these women have crafted for themselves, and these women are influencers of their audience<\/strong>. Is their image one that is ruining women (doing more harm then good, degrading women, ruining women socially or psychologically, negatively affecting a woman’s valuation of herself)?<\/p>\n

Every generation is becoming more and more hyper-sexualized<\/strong> all by themselves. Sure, maybe it’s because celebrities are portraying themselves more “sexily” than ever these days, but it probably has more to do with the extreme ease that content can spread across the world. Our easily impressionable youth learn about things much earlier in their lives than they used to.<\/p>\n

The birds and the bees? Is that ever still told anymore to children? I myself still don’t know what the story is. And I’m pretty sure the young girls I ever interacted with don’t either – but they do learn fast what guys like a<\/strong>nd how to make themselves more attractive to them. Celebrities<\/a> are probably to some extent playing off of the fact that they can be popular by being “adult” – by looking “hot” and being “sexy” or “sexual.” Then it might become somewhat of a vicious cycle. We learn from each other.<\/p>\n

Second of all, not all celebrities portray themselves the same way<\/strong>, especially with the recent & ongoing backlash against impossible body image standards. There are the Miley Cyruses in the world, but there are also the Jennifer Lawrences in the world. Young women see both, and they can form an opinion on which image is better<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

And on that note, even if they can’t form an opinion on which image is better themselves, the media does it for them. When Miley Cyrus shamed herself<\/a> at the VMAs, people were so horrified and critical. Women across the world likely subconsciously etched into their minds that doing such a thing was not a good idea<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

However, then you have Jennifer Lawrence: she trips up stairs and laughs at herself, she speaks whatever is on her mind, she drinks and eats whatever, and in all of it, she’s incredibly graceful. The world loves<\/em> her. The media<\/em> loves her. She’s young, beautiful, and real<\/strong> – and whether or not that’s her marketing image doesn’t matter at all. Women across the world probably consider her more of a role model and influencer.<\/p>\n

So you have two spectrums and a guiding force. I think it is safe to say that even if women for some reason decide, no, Miley Cyrus<\/a> and trying too hard to be sexy is better<\/strong> than dignity and grace, society will push them. And if that’s just who they are or end up being, then that’s their problem.<\/p>\n

So what is a pop stars life about? Does he or she have to play an exemplary role to society<\/strong>, that is to stay behave normally, or on the contrary, the whole story is about the strectching of the boundaries, finding new horizons, forgetting odd, ingrained patterns which may be considered hypocritical and redundant? Art was always a form of resistance against the rigid expectations<\/strong> of the society, the status quo, am I right? Let’s see 6 of the top popstars of our time:<\/p>\n

6. Britney Spears<\/h2>\n

\"best<\/p>\n

The singer’s first clip was the \u201c…Baby One More Time<\/a>\u201d in 1999. She formed a bored high school student<\/strong>, who of course is also terribly hot, despite her odd hair style.<\/p>\n

Seventeen years passed since then, and Spears made a retro trip to the eighties<\/strong> in her latest music video last year, in Pretty Girls which she perfomed together with Iggy Azalea<\/a> (but if you are wondering what the last clip is like, in which she is only somehow cool, is the Perfume from 2013, can be viewed online).<\/p>\n
