(600) YouTube may produce the occasional stars, but those are few and very far in-between. Many more people are becoming what Lushing calls “anti-stars”. They don’t quite hold the same mystique as real life stars because you can’t translate what makes a true star, things like charisma, at a low resolution. It is not to be misinterpreted that by being an anti-star you are consequentially uncharismatic; you are just a normal person, one who could be described as familiar and approachable. If stars have gained fame by just being famous, then anti-stars really are only famous for the fact that they entertain you for such a short amount of time.
Supersize Me documentary by Morgan Spurlock America has the Fattest people in the entire world! Sad to think about really. A lot of people are blaming the fast food chains and restaurants so a man named Morgan Spurlock decides to go out on a 30 day bing of nothing but McDonalds food. He chooses McDonalds because they are the biggest fast food chain. This is some of the information that I took from this excellent documentary.
Then Charles Foster Kane died alone. He was destroyed by a lust for power by too much ambition. Kane once told Thatcher years before money led to his downfall: “If I hadn’t been rich, I might have been a really great man.” Although, he was flawed and self-serving, Kane was a very strong man who had power to control American citizens’ thoughts and very wealthy to live in a giant house that looks like a castle with numerous servants, ridiculously expensive statues, and a private zoo. Even when he was a child, Kane was a strong
president Nixon was arguably one of the best presidents this country has ever had, but he was one of the most corrupt. The difference between him and all the other presidents is he got caught. At 9pm he told the country as of noon tomorrow that Gerald Ford would become president. He had a lot to say to the public here are three most important parts of his speech. The most important issue president Nixon addressed in his resignation speech was the accomplishment that his administration had.
Having such a small amount of people possessing such a large amount of the wealth will pull down society. Our biggest private employer, Walmart, the “Union-busting low-wage retail empire happens to have generated a $200 billion family fortune”, while, not even paying their workers a living wage. People having accumulated all this wealth then use it to pay off politicians to vote and write bills in their favor. America would be better off with the upper class being flushed out of our system.
The average American only makes $41,673.83 annually according to the social security online national wage index, but it is said that the average NBA player makes a stunning $4,790,000 per year. It seems crazy that the average NBA player makes more in a week than the average American does in a year, but yet they are still arguing with team owners over slight pay cuts. The NBA lockout has been all over the news for months, and it seems extremely silly that millionaires are arguing with billionaires over how to divvy up four billion dollars. Due to this topics extreme publicity and silliness; many fans have felt a sense of exigency, in a rhetoric sense, and have decided to speak out on the issue.

Sandra Quinones HIS 103 World Civilizations I Instructor: Pamela Huckins Wednesday, August 01, 2012 There were many things that the Roman Empire had from ambition to lust and even murder. But the one thing that had set Rome apart from any other cities was its technology and engineering, and the technology that the Romans had achieved with the building of huge buildings, stadiums and roads and aqueducts made the Roman Empire one of the most power nations in the world. As early as 44 B.C when the most powerful roman of all was found dead on the senate floor murdered by his own people, Julius Cesar had engineered a rise to power that would never be challenged. The one thing that Julius Cesar wanted to do, that no other person had ever done
Marx opined that conflict holds society in order by a wealthy and powerful few that dominates and control the poorer and weaker masses. There is a clear cut parallel to Conflict Theory and the government shutdown that happened this October. 536 people- the 100 senators, the 435 congressmen and resident in the White House controlled the lives of millions of furloughed employees, the military and many more civilians because they had a visceral disagreement about the funding of the uninsured citizenry. A shutdown that happened because of Obamacare that did not even shutdown Obamacare, a crisis where millions of the poor and disenfranchised were used as pawns in a chess game of politics. No matter what one’s ideology is, some will blame a chamber of Congress, the other will blame the White House.
Have you ever had a great amount of animosity towards pro athletes that make more then they need? In this case, professional caddies for top golfer can fall under this category as well. Why should an individual get paid thousands of dollars to hold a bag full of clubs and say a few things during a match? After the meltdown of Tiger Woods after the “Thanksgiving car crash” in 2009, he showed no signs of improvement of dominance with his once consistent caddy Steve Williams. To make a long story short, the whole caddy thing did not work out and they went there separate ways later down the road.
Our country is the most powerful country in the world and we cannot get along as a people. So, why have all of these bills, amendments, the constitution, and declaration of independence if our government is going to be biased? Honestly, there is no use for a free country if the government is going to make biased decisions. A perfect example is the final decision of Ethan Couch’s court case. He is a 16 year old Caucasian male who was a drunk driver; he killed four people and injured two.
