My analysis includes three influential icons that have made a great impact on society. The first icon I chose was Janet Jackson, she is an American singer, songwriter, record producer, dancer, activist, and a pop iconJackson is ranked as the second most successful female recording artist of all time, according to Billboard and the ninth most successful act in the history of rock and roll. My second chosen icon is Kimora Lee Simmons. Kimora Lee Simmons is the American Dream. She is the only multiethnic woman to have a successful fashion empire along with her own signature diamond encrusted cell phone, jewelry collection, cosmetics and fragrance. Kimora Lee Simmons is the new establishment. Lastly I chose Oprah to be an icon. He is a outstanding actor, director and an Icon. He has played in over 30 films and has won major awards for his success. He one of the most well known and admirable actors of all time.
I chose Janet Jackson as my first icon because of her talent and longevity in our society. When I see Janet I see a soft, warm, and giving indidual. She has been around for a long time and she has made one of the greatest impact on our culture. Despite all the rumors about her family espesiallly her brother Janet has always seemed to come back even stronger and has let nothing hold her back. I chose Kimora Lee Simmons because she is a strong willed individual who has overcame crulety in her past. She was not always a rich suprermodel she experience racial prejudices and many other tautnts as a child. She is a very hard worker and she is great at what she does. She has let people know that you don’t always have to come from something to be something. Lastly I chose Mr.Denzel Washington as an icon. For number one because he deserves to be recognized as a pop icon. His presense and charisma can just light up the room. He has such amazing talent and a drive to be successful. He received an honorary Doctor of Fine Arts degree from Fordham University. This accomplishments and many others prove that Denzel Washington is truly a pop icon.
I chose each of thes icons because I admire all of them for different reasons. They all have mader society aware that success is attainable only if you want it and work hard for it. It really doesn’t matter where you came from but how you get there is the key.with her own signature diamond collection, cosmetics and fragrance -
