Our culture has seen a number of these 15 minute wonders. We’re going to take a look at just a few of them here.
The Century Of The Celeberity
The 20th Century was the period when the celebrity culture took off, especially from the 1940s onwards. There were people who enjoyed celebrity status before then, such as Lord Byron and some music hall stars, but they were the exception. The more mass media there is, the more celebrities we seem to acquire. There are many reasons for the advent of the celebrity century and sociologists have studied the subject in depth.

As 2006 comes to an end, it seems that the year is determined to be defined by celebrity scandal. When Tom Cruise jumped on Oprah Winfreys couch in late 2005 we had no idea that this seemingly goofy incident would not only affect the career and bank-ability of arguably Hollywoods biggest star, but also create a whole new cottage industry of internet blogging around celebrity misfortunes.

How Movies Are Changing Lives
I take my fourteen year old and off we go. Let’s just say I was already feeling good because I didn’t have to whip out my wallet.
