Icons

Three American Icons I believe that are in American society today are:

       

The Voice , The Biggest Loser, and the American Ninja Warrior. These are all popular television shows that society watches today. These shows are watched by millions of people my household included. My daughter actually began to learn to tell the difference between the days of the week by what show was on.

I believe these Icons help better American lives. American idol allows individuals to have a dream and a chance to let that dream shine. They go based on blind auditions and not based on appearance, so it is up to the individuals pure raw talent.

The biggest loser shows that with hard work and healthy eating a person can become healthy and stay healthy. It has kid ambassadors on there as well letting today’s youth know that it is not healthy or okay to be overweight and not do anything about it. However, this show does not promote weight gain or tell people they have to be super thin but lets them know that being healthy is what matters. It encourages people to eat and be healthy and helps build healthy relationships with one’s self and with others.

 The American Ninja Warrior personally I feel encourages people to go out there and give it their all. It has people attempting to do what seems like impossible tasks to be the next best thing. It teaches strength, endurance, patience, and determination.

I believe that each one of these shows helps encourage Americans today to get out there and follow their dream of being healthy, determined, and successful in life.
