Wealthy people who are celebrities in American society are practically idolized and many people think that if they work hard enough, they too can achieve celebrity status. Consequently, young people frequently have a greater desire to join the elite group rather than question the social structure that allows some people to amass immense wealth and power. Would you agree?

Expert Solution

Step 1

A celebrity achieves an ideal, high, and creditable social status as a direct consequence of the name and fame earned through their abilities. The majority of celebrities are inferred to be in the professions of film actors, actresses, musicians, artists, players, and so forth. Most countries, including the United States, India, and Russia, perceive celebrities as having a status that accords pride and leaves a long-lasting impression on the minds of their audiences.
