I am continually surprised by the level of cult stars, we are operating in the United States did not pay too much attention to what happens to Paris Hilton and other celebrities for that matter, but in recent months, we have closed almost are not aware of the media that Ms Hilton was a small problem in their lives to go "in prison." Last night I turned on the tube briefly and I found myself watching his release triumphantly, as she and her flightVehicle was swarmed by photographers and paparazzi.
Because we have such a cultural obsession with celebrities? And because there are even more curious when something bad happens to them? For example: Why tragic death Anna Nicole Smith has been important in the eyes of the media as their life, and why people have got? And even if you try to keep track of all the information about celebrities in the media, we are still faced with the titles reviewed in the box at the supermarketstore. I can be very close to Hollywood illiterate, so I'm not sure why Lindsay Lohan is a celebrity - but for the covers of magazines, while standing in line for food, I know that eating disorders and alcohol problems. I find it strange that I actually know.
Some experts point out that the root is planned this mass obsession with celebrity in our DNA. Stuart Fischoff, Ph.D., professor emeritus of media psychology at California StateUniversity of Los Angeles, said: "What's in our DNA, as a gregarious animal, the interest in relation to alpha males and females, the ones that are important in the box," and that there are up to "follow the leader . '(see A New Age Of Celebrity Worship, CBS News, 3/3/06). But who would classify most of these characters, especially those that seem to attract attention as a leader? What on earth are the leaders?
Another psychologist quoted in the same article, AbbyAronowitz, Ph.D., says that the average, at least partly to blame for the creation of people who are believers celebrity extreme. "The whole Hollywood spin machine works together for the live images that are impossible for all of us up. They deliberately set to be admired and something that we can never wish for. ... There are fates by fans caused to victims and all begins with the preparation of this madness known as the cult of celebrity. "
For me, both the DNA and is theBlame-the-media statements by thinking the smell of a victim mentality. We can not fail, it is in our DNA. Or did we take the average. Sure, there may be genetically programmed to follow the leader of the pack, but - I still wonder why our culture should hold the leader to be a celebrity? As for the media that this is a chicken and the egg seems to matter. What came first, the media coverage of celebrities or our search for the company for more information on the famous?
I think a much better explanationour fascination with the lives of famous people from a spiritual approach, psychological. Many people have a deep, unconscious, have unmet need in their lives - the need to feel better about themselves, they must help somehow feel superior to - and celebrities to be resolved.
Eckhart Tolle points, this idea in his book "A New Earth, when he says:" the absurd overvaluation of fame is just one of many manifestations of the ego-madness in our world. "
People's unconsciousHigher self thrive on sensation. How does the celebrity worship you can feel superior to?
* If the celebrities and their PR machine are at their best, celebrities look better than the rest of us sound better than the rest of us, and we believe that they live much more erotic and fulfilling than the rest of us. Only by knowing about them, we can try to imitate them and think about how we are human. For example: When I saw Mrs. Hilton to get out of prison last night, Inow they are free from their cell is learned, you work hard for the launch of her new perfume. Maybe if I buy her perfume, I smell like Paris Hilton, and I'm a lot better than the rest of the poor fool out there. My ego is thrilled with the opportunity!
* If we closely follow the stars, so we feel superior, because it can provide more information than our friends and neighbors. We feel satisfied and I think that if we have more knowledgesomething your neighbor - even if that knowledge practically useless.
* We can also inflate our egos celebrity collection apart. I'm always curious about the excitement of Hollywood awards ceremonies like the Oscars. Why do people spend hours watch celebrities go on the seats, get statues, and make it obvious, thank you speeches? Perhaps because our ego satisfaction to know how the celebrities and looked at the critique ofClothing choices that we can not know with those who received the prize (the information)? You can take a breath to think of my ego-feeling when I say that speeches are banal thank you? I mean, really, I could do the job better than they do!
* Finally, we can feel superior, when we see celebrities fall. With everything they have - all the opportunities that simply do not seem to get their wealth and all its beauty - many celebrities their life together. And our ego lovesee them fall apart, because our life seems much better, much more under control.
In a society where we seem increasingly disconnected from our true inner spirit and are increasingly affected by the achievements in the outside world, the place of worship celebrity makes sense. To live, people begin to ask more informed and indeed, why feel the need to glamorize images of celebrities, the media continue to help us satisfy our egos, giving us all the goodthe bad and the ugly that can be found for the rich and famous. And we will continue to suck like sponges intellectual and dry, we have become.
