What Experts Say II ( Role modeling)

According to ,Fairclough (2015) a  "published survey of UK parents with  children under ten years old vote Miley Cyrus and Nicky Minaj as the worst role models for their daughtes". As you could  see in the previous post the video clips of those two artists , it appears to be judged as bad role models regarding their dressing and their sexuality (Fairclough ,2015). And in fact according to the "Duchess of Cambridge" (Fairclough ,2015)  both of them were considered  to have big  influence on young girls.  Also according to Fairclough (2015) , " in the 21 century , the impact of celebrity culture on society especially on young people has come under scrunity" , because as i reffered to the other post girls and even boys when they are obssed to one role model , are loosing the control , and driving their selves in  the wrong paths. Even thoiugh , when your role model , is reffering to the use of drugs to her audience through some interviews , the young children will be even affected, to be curious and try twhat their role modeling is trying, and leading them to act in the same way like them.(Hilliker, 2015)

    Hello! I found this article very interesting, because I also think this is an issue. Seeing the video from Miley Cyrus for the first time and seeing all the Instagram posts she was sharing, I was shocked. The Disney star presented herself mostly as a sexual object which I found disturbing.
    Thank you for your insight!
