We asked the question, "What is fame?" Taking a look into the Kardashian show from, a an analytical standpoint it is important to question why a show that seems so unimportant as been so successful. The Kardashians do a good job keep themselves relevant but this all thanks to their supports. People like us who watch their show and buy their products. What is it that makes them so attractive to viewers. Some argue that it is entertainment because their lives are so ridiculous but I believe that even if viewers feel this way, there is still a sense on envy. We aren't entertained by things we don't like, and this show is not comedy. Although we may find some parts of their lives humorous, their lives can still be looked at as exemplifying ideals of cultural hegemony. By watching the show, we are supporting the idea of cultural hegemony by furthering their success.
