Every child is raised with the hopes of studying, listening to your parents so your could leave a longer life and the "do unto others as you would them do unto you" line. We all grow up with the hopes of being better people in the long run, be it a doctor, nurse, teacher, well known singer or a scientist as long as that specific career is going to make the community really proud of you. Those dreams often revolve around having a bigger house than you already live in, having a large closet full of clothes shoes and bags and driving the fastest, most expensive and well known cars.
The role that the media plays in our dreams is HUGE, the entertainment industry actually helps us put pictures on whatever we dream about, it shows us the houses, the cars, the clothes, the designers basically all the works, but never really shows the hard work that needs to put in in order for those dreams to come true, for example MTV, the channel showcases programmes such as Teen Cribs, Pimp My Ride, My Super Sweet Sixteen whereby teenagers are filthy rich, the do whatever it is that pleases them and even get into trouble but show absolutely no consequences for their bad behaviour. The entertainment industry teaches kids that if they want to they can easily be like their favourite celebrities, live large and spend on anything and everything whenever.
What they don't tell the kids is that to actually be successful you have to work hard, maybe fail but go back again and try even harder and the publicity is not everything, if you don't have anything to show for it, it will actually ruin your reputation and leave you jobless and broke... Look at Whitney Houston, Britney Spears, Lindsay Lohan and many more, the entertianment industry chew them and spit the like hot potatoes, even though thier were extremely good at what they were doing but fame ruin them in the long run, and that, the industry does show it just show the perks of being famous not how one is actually supposed to get there to successed.
