Hi Guys!!!
Welcome to another post of "HOLIDAY WITH ME"
All my posts will focus on SOCIETY and MASS MEDIA that related to JM204 subject.


Anyway, I would like to say Thank you for visiting, reading also commenting my post during the last semester. I promise that what I am going to post in this semester are full of interesting topics and worthwhile to read for sure:D "PLEASE STAY TUNED"

Are u guys ready to travel with me again!!!
Let's get started!!!!
------------------------
So Today I will talk about "FASHION among celebrities". 
Talking about fashion is very a big big things since each person see fashion in their own style. But in my opinion I see fashion as a ART. This is because you can mix and match every stuffs in your wardrobe and have fun with it. This is fashion in my own word:D 

 Nevertheless, in today's society we cannot deny that celebrities have a large influence on us in terms of dressing, make up, lifestyle and so on. Hence, today's topic is "Do celebrities play a large role on our society"


It is undeniable that our world become more connected in terms of social network, media. So, we can easily receive a large influence on other societies and cultures. As you can see in today's society a large number of people are able to speak ENGLISH which is compared as a MEDIUM to communicate and exchange some cultures' belief among one another.  According to this many people adopt those cultural ideas, beliefs and gradually adapt to their own cultural beliefs such as Foods, Dressing style, make up and so on because we are currently living in contemporary world and postmodern society which allow every single type of media to shape and change our thought!!!

 So, the answer of today's post is going to be "YES"


Back then people in each country has their own fashion which was considered as trendy things in their culture. But when we are currently in postmodern society, everything completely changed. Postmodern society describes the emergence of a society in which the importance of power of Mass Media and popular culture shape our society. As we can see that in the past we dress up because we need some thing to give warmness to our body, but nowadays people has more passion to dress up and pick up stuffs everyday because they would like to be as their celebrities idol.(Everyone can has their own favorite celebrities, maybe in entertainment, sports, politics, business and so on.)  It can be said that celebrities are people's inspiration which help to make our world become more connected. This is mostly because when people would like to become as their idol, it means that they automatically learn new cultures. For example, one are really obsessed with K-pop, J-pop, they watch and listen their idol's work over and over again. According to this they learn Korea culture automatically in terms of watching music video, listening Korea language and even copying their outfits hahaha. Consequently, celebrities definitely play a large role on our culture.


In addition, social network, Instagram, YouTube, Twitter, Facebook page is another option that allow people to absorb celebrities' s cultural trend. As you guys know that celebrities is a group of people who are always being in the spotlight. Therefore, no matter what they do, people also pay attention to them. Surely, in this era people follow their idol via social net work such as clothing, make up and even life style. That is another reason why celebrities or idol has a large influence on our society!!!!

This is the Example of "INSTAGARM"


As you can see from the picture above, there are celebrities clothing's account which will update all stuffs that celebrities use and wear such as bag, clothing,shoes and so on. Personally, most people think that Instagram as one of another option to see the behind the scene of what celebrities were in everyday life. It can be said that INSTAGRAM is the number one place to catch up current trend of celebrities.

The example of "YouTube"



YouTube is another place collecting several videos about celebrities. So, it is commonly accepted that  people around the world can follow the current trend of celebrities via this media. Moreover, when people watch it over and over again, they may adopt and adapt celebrities' style into their culture. According to this SOCIAL VALUE when people change something, the social value is going to be change too. For example, in the past people may dress up just for protecting themselves from unpredictable weather, but today our world become more connected. People have a chance to see new things such as foods, fashion, technology via social network. 

Additional evidence to support this topic!!!!

According to this chart it show that more than half of people who did this survey think that celebrity is the most factor that influence them to buy a product more than price and quality. So, it can be one of the good evidences to answer the topic of this post which is definitely YES, celebrities did play a large role in our society in many factors.

 To sum up, we are currently living in a technological era which allow us to consume more information than ever. When people consume something, they will automatically receive what they read, watch, listen via media. Then, they could adapt and adopt into their society and culture such as fashion trend, foods and so on. So, it means our world become multicultural which is easy for people to gain more understanding about each other in terms of "Culture". In my point of view, celebrity has a large influence on our society since when I was serving the internet and some topic or something that related to celebrities pop up, I will click to read the rest of it. This is mostly because we are now obsessed with celebrity culture.
