Questions for Critically Thinking about Celebrities

In questioning what we see, the motives of a celebrity, and the sources of their information, our culture, which is visually driven, can become more aware of the decisions that we are making. Here are a few questions that help get to the root of a celebrity’s intentions and can help you make better decisions in every area that celebrities affect: Who are they trying to appeal to? What are they selling (their image, an idea, a product, a belief, morals, etc.)? Why are they famous? What is their background? Do they have validity? What other viewpoints have you seen? Questioning is the first step in reclaiming your ability to choose and decide everything from what you wear to who to vote for on your own terms.
