Back in the day, Miley used to be the star on the hit series Hannah Montana, which is a show that I'm guilty of watching almost every single episode and the movie. Her songs were actually inspiring and projected a positive image upon children, teens, and more. After her departure from the Disney Channel, she was looking for a breakthrough to turn into an adult and prove herself as being mature. There are certain ways to do that… promiscuous dancing that looks rather slutty and singing about society's glorified version of a party where everyone gets dangerously messed up is not a way anyone should want to portray themselves to the public eye. Knowing how the media is these days, one wrong move and you will be scrutinized for life.
Some people may wonder "who is society looking up to" or "what happened to Hannah Montana and her Disney image"… She's having a new CD come out soon too, which I'm sure is going to be huge now that Miley has gone viral. People keep making vines, videos, memes, etc. of her now that she is the center of mostly negative attention. It seems like everyone enjoys focusing on the bad things that someone does, as opposed to "hello world, this person just volunteered in Africa to bring drinking water to impoverished families". Why not glorify that instead as opposed to making people appear to be worse than they really are? The world really isn't "THAT" bad of a place, but it seems the news these days likes to only present topics of controversy or how some person in the south side of Chicago was murdered. Apparently, the rest of the world cares more about 10 minutes of a ridiculous display from a famous star on an awards show than how we can make the world a better place…
Here's what I have to say. No matter how crazy inappropriate both of those were, I think that the rest of society has more important things to focus on than a young adult who decided to act like a crazy fool on TV for the rest of the public to see. Of course there's freedom of expression and I think she crossed the line to a very large degree, but to me and to everyone else, she should just be considered some famous teeny bopper trying to find her way in the world who did so in a very poor fashion. She's definitely doing a good job making a statement of being herself. If something as trivial as this can trigger as many hits as the current issues with Syria, society should shove its head back on straight, get a grip, and try to fix ACTUAL problems. Yeah, it's entertainment, but still, get over it, stop making such a big deal over it, and move on. We can spend our time doing much better things than harping on something as silly as this!
