...The Kardashian’s and Jenner’s are very interesting families with many weird things about them. What if someone were to give them their own day? Well there would be a few reasons why I believe they should get a day and some of them include ones that I am about to share. Both of these families are very busy and always up to something weather its weird, funny or is something important. Many things go on in their lives, and this is why they have their own reality TV show, though it is called Keeping up with the Kardashians it also includes the other sisters which are the Jenner’s. Now having a show is nice but I believe that all of the people who watch the show agree with me that they deserve a day to their self’s every year. Most of them have...

...threaten to kill you. It may sound a bit far-fetched but it is the sad reality for reality television star Kim Kardashian West. Not only has this event left her mentally scared but the men also got away with over 10 million dollars’ worth of her belongings, including 4.9 million dollar engagement ring. Many journalists have blamed Kardashian West for this horrific event, although there are masses of evidence to prove that this was in fact an inside job. The staff at the apartment were the only ones who knew Kardashians whereabouts, the police were not contacted by a member of staff and it was a very unprofessional job. One of the most obvious pieces of evidence that proves that this was an inside job, is that the staff at the apartment where the only one who knew that Kim did not have any protection at this time. When the incident occurred Kim was in her apartment with her assistant who was asleep and unaware of the silent struggle Kim was facing just one floor above her. Her bodyguard was out doing his job, looking after her two sisters, but how would an outsider know this? Of course the only people who were there to witness the bodyguard’s departure were the members of staff, leaving only them to blame....

...celebrities are setting an example that is corrupting our youth. We have celebrities dying from over dosing, being arrested for drug and weapon charges, but most importantly people becoming socialites and famous for sex tapes. Such as the infamous Kim Kardashian. Kim Kardashian born October 30, 1980 was a pretty normal child. Her father Robert Kardashian was known for being a lawyer to the infamous O.J Simpson. Her father later died and mother Kris went on to marrying former Olympian Bruce Jenner. At 20 years old Kim Kardashian went on to marrying a known music producer, but after 4 years they got a divorce. Then in 2007, Kim became a well known name and famous for a sex tape. The sex tape was heard to leak from her former ex boyfriend Ray J. Ray denied leaking the video and vivid entertainment decided to let people view it. Kim Kardashian was supposedly devastated and filed a law suit against vivid entertainment to pursue ownership for the tape.

Kim Kardashian then became a celebrity, and everyone was talking about her. She began modeling, acting, and was a paparazzi magnet.

...definition of true beauty can sometimes be shaken and distorted by society. Society often deems celebrities as perfect and beautiful. Society’s expectations of beauty are all wrong. In society’s eyes, you are only beautiful if you have an amazing body and your hair and makeup always look perfect, but they have it all wrong. Beauty does not have to mean the outside appearance. True beauty is what is on the inside. For instance, someone who is genuine, friendly, and giving can be very beautiful even if she or he does not have the perfect body. Appearance is only part of the definition of beauty. For example, Taylor Swift is an all around beautiful celebrity. On the other hand, Kim Kardashian does not really fit the beautiful term. This is because Taylor is beautiful on the inside and outside while Kim Kardashian was only made famous because of her appearance and wrong doings, not her talents or personality. Beauty is a very broad term. Many people believe that it is hard to be beautiful, when it really is not hard at all! True beauty can be seen on a day-to-day basis, sometimes without you even realizing it. The smallest acts of kindness can be described as beautiful. For example, sunsets are beautiful and often taken for granted. The fact that Mother Nature can create such amazing colors...

...Small Business And Entrepreneurship Assignment Topic: "Rob Kardashian" Written By: Tariq Al Lawati Entrepreneurship is one of the most successful ways of starting a business, and this essay will outline the story of an upcoming entrepreneur who could or by all means will not make a huge success in the market. However, first lets explain what the term "entrepreneur" means. An entrepreneur is "Someone who exercises initiative by organizing a venture to take benefit of an opportunity and, as the decision maker, decides what, how, and how much of a good or service will be produced"[1]. In other words, it is someone who initiates or starts a business by spotting an opportunity in the market, has a suitable place to run it and by being the decision maker of the business can eventually make a self benefit or profit from it. However, it is not as simple as it sounds. Along with having a suitable place and having creative ideas, there are some risks that come into play as well. Therefore, we can safely say that an entrepreneur is by nature a risk taker. That being said, the risks are neither negligible nor too vigorous. Entrepreneurs like to describe themselves as moderate risk takers. It is to my understanding that entrepreneurship is more like a stereotype, in the sense that most entrepreneurs have the same set of traits or behaviors. According to many recourses, whether it was the internet, or the "Small Business and Entrepreneurship" text book that we study...

...One of the top rated advertisements shown during this year’s super bowl was for Skechers new GOrun sneakers, created by Rob Siltanen, chairman and chief creative officer of Siltanen & Partners. Last super bowl, the company used celebrity Kim Kardashian to create buzz for their Shapeups sneakers by showing a sex appeal advertisement. Kardashian’s contract expired in late 2011 and she was not resigned by Skechers due to her recent negative publicity. This year, Kim Kardashian was replaced by a French bulldog who appealed to a wider audience. The commercial featured the dog named Mr. Quigley who was sporting athletic clothing and two pairs of red Skechers Gorun sneakers. He is shown racing a pack of greyhounds at Tucson Greyhound Park and not only wins the race, but also manages to do the moonwalk across the finish line to rapper Tone Loc’s hit single, “Wild Thing”. The commercial ends with a funny remark stated by billionaire entrepreneur and owner of Landmark Theaters and the Dallas Mavericks, Mark Cuban. The use of animals, especially dogs, was a featured trend of this year’s super bowl commercials. A lot of people enjoy pets, so the use of a cute dog in this commercial makes it easy for anyone to relate to. In the Skechers commercial, the use of Mr. Quigley demonstrates the company’s attempt at humor appeal for their audience and it is also a metaphor for the brand as the company’s CMO, Leonard Armato, states “There’s an underdog in all of us”. Skechers succeeded with...

...so focus on her passed life and worried that it reoccurring, he deprived her of real love. Everyone deserves a second chance better yet should be given the benefit of the doubt. Just because I stole in my past, doesn’t necessarily mean that I am or will remain a thief for the rest of my life. If wanted a robot he should have married one. Nobody is perfect. People learn from their mistakes and sometimes change for the better. Take for example, the many relationships of Kim Kardashian. According to Wikipedia, in 2000, Kim married music producer Damon Thomas; their relationship ended in divorce in 2004. Subsequently she dated R&B singer Ray J, NFL star Reggie Bush and Dallas Cowboys wide receiver Miles Austin. She also dated model Gabriel Aubry. She is now dating rapper Kanye West. Does that make Kim less of a Woman? I do not believe so. Sometimes all of the break ups are not just her fault. But many people are constantly judging her to be useless and unserious woman just because of her pass. When who really Kim is a very smart, family oriented young woman and an entrepreneur. And I believe she is going to be happily settle down when the time is right. When I was in high school, my uncle Fulton had a pretty girlfriend name Patricia. I use to call her “Sis Pat”. She was the most holy lady I have ever met in my entire life at that time. Everyone in my family used to love her because she was polite, calm, could cook, and clean. She did everything to the “T”.

...Advantages and Disadvantages of Technology on Society Annie Martin Professor Marin CS 105 March 10, 2010 Abstract Today’s society is heavily influenced and affected by technology. My paper will explain and highlight many advantages and disadvantages of technology on society. It will discuss some ways it can hinder reputations and how private matters can become public property because of technology. My paper will also reveal how technology can bring people closer together, although many people may beg to differ. Today’s society is driven and greatly influenced by technology. This can be a beneficial fact, and it can also be detrimental and yield major problems. Whether one is using a digital camera in order to snap a photo of a precious moment, or whether one is sneaking and videotaping an embarrassing video that will last forever, these are components of technology that effect society because it effects people. It is in the eye of the beholder of whether technology has more or less advantages than disadvantages on society. My paper will discuss some advantages and disadvantages of technology on society. There are many advantages of technology. Technology allows people to email, text, talk on the telephone, mow the lawn, vacuum carpets, blend food, straighten...

...Kendall Jenner and Her Racy Modeling Photo Cynthia Park COMM/310 June 9, 2014 Terry Marler Kris Jenner, the mother of the infamous Kardashian clan, has recently been in the news due to a scandalous photo of her 18 year old daughter, Kendall Jenner, which she shared through Twitter. Kendall is shown topless in the photo, covering her breasts with her hands. This photo was taken for the catchy “In Bed with W Magazine” Campaign. Although this photo is very racy, the news outlets that were discussing this photo were more concerned that Kendall’s mother, Kris Jenner, was extremely proud of this photo. In the interview that Kris Jenner had with Huffington Post Live, she stated that “She has like, the perfect body, especially one that wants to be in the modeling business. I don’t know, I got a lot of curves and I couldn’t pull that off. But she always looks remarkable.” This interview had many news outlets struggling with the fact that Kris Jenner is very open and honest about her 18 year old daughter and her approval of these photos seems to be too aggressive. There was one show in particular that was very prejudiced when it came to Jenner and her views on her children, especially with this photo. The show, The Young Turks (TYT), had four different analysts that were sharing their opinions on what they would do in their own lives and giving Kris Jenner quite a bit of backlash on her view of her daughter. The points that each show had made was sharing the fact that not...
