The Dash Effect


The Kardashians quite honestly are a fascinating trend that has occurred over the last 5 years. Their ability to take advantage of the trend of reality TV and manipulate the interest of the common people is second to none. I myself even find myself watching their television show and I could care less about celebrity gossip. After learning about the three sub groups of celebrities and the other pseudo celebrity categories the Kardashians continue to pike my interest because they are very difficult to categorize. Why the U.S so obsessed with them and what is what made them famous? I always ask myself why I am so enthralled in this show. Frankly I hate most reality TV. Most people cannot even answer the question why they care about these celebrities. It is hard to tell whether we as viewers emulate their lifestyles or a connection with these personalities are built. Now do not get me wrong I am not saying that it is okay to be enthralled with celebrities, however it is very important to see why we care about these people in the first place and how we allowed them to be so recognized and famous.
