Fame and teens



The dissatisfaction of teenagers with their image and what they have leads them to seek more, something that has been offered by the media and it can only become reality, for this reason we witnessed the phenomenon of "copy", ie not there is more originality in the behavior of adolescents, especially when handling the "seems." When we left the streets we see many candidates to rapper, this fashion "bad-boy" is based on the American conquest of quick fame, money, easy sex and violence, characteristics that are desired by the young Brazilian, a phenomenon also present in the style of cars where image is everything, especially the buses, with smoke lenses and powerful sounds, expressing a defiant air. There is a call to all resources to be famous, if the objective is not achieved, at least it seems. The constant search for fame, together with strategies television, makes us remember the words of the famous North American pop Andy Warhol, where he said: "In the future everybody will be world-famous for 15 minutes" [ii], the future has arrived, people seeking minutes of fame in front of telinha, no matter the price. The highest price paid for the viewer who wants to be famous is the loss of intimacy, since you can not differentiate more public space for private space. Today, the most efficient way to make it to the media, "there is as prominent as large star, or as mere mortal who somehow knew the success, the 'greatness', the' heroism '(Rosa MB Fischer, 2001, p.35). This appeal to the fall of intimacy is a feature used very often in programs such as talk show, so the program can cite examples of Jô (Rede Globo), realizes that there is a time when the presenter does not leave to appeal to this appeal, is asking the audience, the interviewee or to the public at home with questions about sex, homosexuality or fetish, everything revolves around the challenge to discover what happens in the privacy of individuals.
