Shania vs. Ke$ha : Then and Now
The media is constantly changing. Unfortunately, this can not be considered a positive evolution. When I was growing up, I was faced with images of positive influences like Shania Twain. I would watch her sing and dance so innocently, and secretly vowed to grow up just like her. If my role model had polite intentions, and even after vowing to be just like her, I’m still not quite so innocent, what happens to the girls growing up in the next generation? With role models like Ke$ha exposing them to a world of s-e-x, make- up and blow? Most little girls stare at the television screen, imitating and hoping to become whatever is on M.T.V. So, if theses girls strive to dance disgustingly in the bathroom stalls of clubs, then what happens to the generation? All I’m saying is that we need to bring back positive role models to the media. Young, influential minds need something to take advice from. If all they see is pop culture starlets bouncing from rehabs to hospitals, this is close to what they will become.
