Document Summary
Contemporary celebrity: not a particularly broad demographic when searching up the word celebrity. Attributed: famous for being famous --> reality tv stars. They often are interrelated (more than one category) Difficult to judge the effects of celebrity culture on people"s lives, some studies show that a majority of school children believe that anyone can be famous. Early celebrity culture was based in oral and print culture not visual culture. Class: stable system and there was very little movement between classes in the feudal system. Modern class systems -- working class not the rich/powerful. Classes were based on the type of labor performed, middle class -- office jobs. Being in service meant living in and asking permission from one"s employer to date or to marry. Money has become an increasing definer of class - having a lot or a little. Actors (female ones in particular) often assumed to be prostitutes. In the 19th century acting became more respected.
