CELEBRITIES INFLUENCE IN THE U.S.
Celebrities are constantly under watch in the United States. They influence things like fashion, music, and more. Here are some examples of celebrities both good and not so good…
OPRAH WINFREY…GOOD!
Donated over $300 million dollars to charity
Started the Oprah Winfrey Foundation
Built many schools in South Africa
DUCK DYNASTY…
This television show is not an accurate representation of the U.S. and it is no way similar to the life of an average U.S. citizen. We watch this show for laughs.
