Before social media and social networking became the latest craze, the general
population was almost completely out of touch with their favorite celebrities with the exception
of the rumors and truths the general population heard via the latest news report. Social media
allows fans to know where their favorite celebrities are, what they are doing, what they are
thinking and just about anything else the population could possibly want to know. Facebook and
Twitter make celebrities completely interactive with their fans via the social media world.
Celebrities becoming so accessible to the general population through social media have both
positive and negative effects, just like the general population utilizing social media.
Being a fanatic of any unparticular celebrity you may want to know them inside and out.
The best thing would be the chance to meet them or even potentially talk to them. Celebrities
utilize social media websites causing their fans to feel “like they ‘know’ them through their
tweets [and Facebook updates], and they feel more connected and significant to their favorite
celebs”(“So Many Celebrities” 1). When celebrities make their fans feel this way, the celebrity
becomes more likable and down to earth. Being viewed this way by the general public causes
celebrities to seem closer to a “real” person. This personality trait of celebrities has the potential
to increase their number of fans all together.
Twitter and Facebook not only make celebrities more accessible, these social media
websites also allow celebrities to promote upcoming events, CDs, movies, etc. Fans are notified
sooner than ever before. Facebook and Twitter notifications via smart phones allow the up and
coming to be spread globally within seconds. Social media sites used by celebrities do not only
benefit the fans in order to stay connected, but it definitely benefits the celebrities as well.
Twitter and Facebook help the celebrities “maintain their popularity with fans, agents, and
filmmakers, so ultimately, they're helping maintain their careers, too” (“So Many Celebrities” 1).
Following closely behind Lady Gaga in the highest number of followers on Twitter is the current
pop sensation, Justin Bieber (“Top 100” 1). Justin Bieber is a big user of Twitter and
continuously retweets encouragement and love to and from his fan...

While social media has both positive and negative effects for celebrities, utilizing these
sites to strictly connect with fans and promote their up and coming events would greatly reduce
the potential to ruin their fan base. If the celebrity whishes to utilize these social media sites as a
way to voice their own opinions and to be inappropriate, then they should be kept private and out
of the view of the general population. Social media is a great way for celebrities to advance or
decrease their success globally.(Herzog 1).

Romeo and Juliet, the broadly acknowledged representative of all romantic stories, portrayed a world of chaos with mere moments of tranquility throughout the whole play. Using various literary devices and imagery, Shakespeare presents the audience a vivid picture of Romeo and Juliet and the love between them. Love is the main theme in this story, probably superseding all the others; it is a violent, discouraging and yet intriguing force driving Romeo and Juliet closer to developing an amorous relationship. Love, identified by Shakespeare, is very forceful, can easily lead to violence, but most importantly, requires sacrifice and bravery.
The Tragedy of Romeo and Juliet, written by William Shakespeare, is a romantic play full of suspense and obscurity. Romeo and Juliet first met at the Capulet Feast where they instantaneously fall in love. Throughout the play, their families are enemies but they continue to love each other secretly. Romeo and Juliet are a pair of star crossed lovers that eventually will take their lives out of unconditional love. Their deaths will take place due to many factors in the play.
Is Romeo and Juliet a love story it was not a love story Romeo was not truly in love with Juliet but what she was like on the outside likewise Juliet had no idea what Romeo was like but yet loved him before either of them were ready this haste is what laid the foundation that this shaky marriage was built on and fry Lawrence thought that would be enough to fix the feud but it was not
The truth is historians may never know who truly wrote William Shakespeare’s works. There is no concrete evidence linking his work to another person other than himself writing them. All three of theories that are most commonly accepted among historians have good points and ideas, but none can determine whether or not they are accurate. William Shakespeare is still regarded as one of the best playwrights and authors of all time. Unless someone finds a document proving otherwise he will always be remembered for his amazing works. If someone did discover that he was a fake it would greatly alter theatre history. Until some written document is found, which many never happen, the mystery may never be solved.
William Shakespeare is widely regarded as on the of the best playwrights and poets to have ever existed. “It is a widely speculated topic that William Shakespeare did not write the poems and that up to about 50 other poets could have writen them.”("Shakespeare facts: Read," 2011) “William Shakespeare is the second most quoted writer in the english language.” ("Shakespeare facts: Read," 2011) It is widely speculated that the true Shakespeare is actually Edward De Vere. I firmlybelieve Shakespeare was not the true playwright because of his lack of education, lack of upper class etiquette, and the different penmanship over time.

The use of social media in sports is a relatively new trend. Social media has enabled people to become more interactive with their favorite celebrities, athletes, and sports teams.

There are many ways to become a celebrity. Celebrities are generally not hired to be role models. Actors, professional athletes, politicians, newscasters, presidents of large companies, musicians and people who emerge as leaders in bad situations, like Captain Phillips, are all subject to becoming celebrities. Their jobs do not transform them into perfect people. Ben Roethlisberger is the quarterback of the Pittsburgh Steelers. He excels at the sport of football as evidenced by his two Super Bowl wins. But, displaying acumen in a playing field does not transform the person inside, nor should that be expected. The fact that he can throw a spiral does not entitle the public to know he went to a bar with his friends. In no way are the two things related. However, the quality that should be appreciated and admired is his skill on the football field, not the totality of his life. He did not give up his humanity when he learned how to throw a football and it should not be expected that he did. In no way does his ch...
William Shakespeare was a great writer who lead a very interesting life. In fact, he is often though of as “the greatest write of his time.”

Most people cannot even remember the time before social media was introduced. Social media has become a big part of our everyday lives and it is hard to think of the world without it now. Nowadays the number of places where the Internet is considered necessary is growing. There are more and more cities implementing public Internet access in zones like parks or squares (Gomez-Almaguer, Acosta-Olivo, Garcia-Quintanilla, and Jaime-Perez 69). Life before social media seemed so much calmer and productive. Nowadays almost everyone has their smartphone in their pocket or sitting on their desk while they are at work. It is so easy to stop your work and grab your phone and look at your Facebook or twitter application and get stuck on it for an

As a whole, this phenomenon that expands each day can be seen as a sort of epidemic that infects the minds of the general population via the media.
