Has Showbizz Lost Its Glamour? - InterSections Alley, Y Village Florianópolis, SC, BRAZIL


Has Showbizz Lost Its Glamour?
Interactive Project

Short Cuts: The Introduction | Test Your Knowledge | The Questions | The Conclusion | The Messages

We are a group of teenagers interested in your opinion. This project we are working on is about the way showbizz has changed within the last five decades. Although the first celebrities used to be unique, nowadays one can run into a celebrity on the corner of one's own street! In the past, celebrities were also fewer, since mass means of communication weren't as popular as they are now. For instance, think of ten celebrities from now. Easy, right? Now try to think of ten from the 20's, for exemple. It's not as easy as it seems, is it? Celebrities had to have 'something' that would catch peoples’ attention. Some of the most famous celebrities were Marilyn Monroe, Charles Chaplin, Elvis Presley and the Beatles.
So what do you think: has showbizz lost its glamour? When was it the better, now or then?
Below you will find two questionnaires: on the first you can test your knowledge about old celebrities. On the second you can send us your opinion about this topic.
We also want to know what the world (you guys!) think about this topic. Based on this project results, your answers to our questions, we will compare showbizz now and then.
Thank you for reading and enjoy the homepage!

Your Opinion

  • What was remarkable about old celebrities is their uniqueness. What do you prefer: a lot of small celebrities (now) or a few big celebrities (then)? Would you mind telling us why you think that?
  • We know that in the past, celebrities used to get paid monthly like ordinary people. On the other hand people involved in showbizz nowadays earn a lot - when we say a lot, we really mean it - of money, even though there are much more celebrities around. Do you think it's fair to earn that much money? Could you elaborate on that?
  • What do you think accounts for that pay-check difference?
  • On the other hand, we could say that showbizz is what it's now because of many different factors, such as the globalization. Can you go along with that reason? On what basis can you say that?
  • Do you think that the changes in the showbizz are positive or negative? What can you say about the positive and negative aspects of this situation?
  • Gender:
  • Age:
  • Nationality:
