The individual Tik Tok stars does not have as much influence in the sense that no one particularly take their views as seriously. They ultimately are just doing what's popular and does it as a hobby. However, they hold limited influence in terms of brand sponsorship and determining what is popular on their platforms based on what they are doing. They may have influence over looks and trends, but their impact is still limited. ]]> 2021-10-18 16:51:20 UTC https://padlet.com/jhunter136_1/njjpeukf1emxf7x6/wish/1824742251 https://padlet.com/jhunter136_1/njjpeukf1emxf7x6/wish/1824742282 I dont think that the tik tok stars desreve the fame they have. Although I have lots of respect for other social media influencers, since they worked hard to create content and get where they are such as youtube videos and creative content. Charli and adidson got famous off their looks and the same dance everyone else does and they get millions of likes, for the same dance that everyone else does. Most stars dont advocate for issues unitl the issues are relevent and what everyone else is talking about. ]]> 2021-10-18 16:51:21 UTC https://padlet.com/jhunter136_1/njjpeukf1emxf7x6/wish/1824742282 bhsingh1 https://padlet.com/jhunter136_1/njjpeukf1emxf7x6/wish/1824742301 I think that stars like Charlie originally worked hard to gain their success, but once most stars on tiktok became famous, they started to put less effort and work in with the exception of a few videos.

These TikTok stars were doing what everyone else was doing on this app: dancing, singing, etc. It is likely that these stars because famous merely due to luck, due to the fact that they were not doing anything vastly different from anyone else on the app. I do believe that there are some negative consequences that can result from the 2 stars' fame, as it is very likely that younger kids, especially girls, can become insecure about what they are seeing so constantly on social media, from those women with a large following. Young girls in this day in age can very easily become insecure or self-conscious from what they see on social media, as studies, show, so these 2 TikTok stars are a prime example of this issue. Although, these 2 stars can also inspire many people to do what they do: dance, and create any kind of content on social media to inspire themselves and others.]]> 2021-10-18 16:53:16 UTC https://padlet.com/jhunter136_1/njjpeukf1emxf7x6/wish/1824747294 lschneider68 https://padlet.com/jhunter136_1/njjpeukf1emxf7x6/wish/1824747642 As young teenage girls, I do not think they deserve the amount of hate that they get on a daily basis. Their platform grew due to the popularity of their videos but that still doesn't give people the right to make death threats, mean comments and more to innocent girls on Tik Tok. Yes, they don't make much an impact on the world but they are still like everyone else even with a large following. ]]> 2021-10-18 16:53:24 UTC https://padlet.com/jhunter136_1/njjpeukf1emxf7x6/wish/1824747642 https://padlet.com/jhunter136_1/njjpeukf1emxf7x6/wish/1824747901 The generation with the most influence are millennials. They are just starting to see themselves and becoming full adults with compete families, 20-30 yrs old. They finished college and are now making thier own businesses and successes. I also think they are very influential because they are both young enough to be interactive with gen z and know what they want but they understand the baby boomers and are respected by them unlike the younger generations.  ]]> 2021-10-18 16:53:31 UTC https://padlet.com/jhunter136_1/njjpeukf1emxf7x6/wish/1824747901 nleibowitz https://padlet.com/jhunter136_1/njjpeukf1emxf7x6/wish/1824748674 I think that Tiktok stars don't have much of any impact on society.  They are posting videos for entertainment purposes and didn't work hard to gain their popularity and success.]]> 2021-10-18 16:53:47 UTC https://padlet.com/jhunter136_1/njjpeukf1emxf7x6/wish/1824748674 ejiang17 https://padlet.com/jhunter136_1/njjpeukf1emxf7x6/wish/1824749056 People with fame have great influence on their fans and audience, but their reason of fame tends to change their credibility. For example, over the past year, Chris Evans created a platform to inform people about politics from an unbiased viewpoint. However, many politicians didn't want to work with him because they either didn't believe it was truly him or because they thought that the wasn't educated in this field. Athletes commonly also experience this issue because people think they only know about the sport they play. Billionaires are also seen to have power because of their financial status. Many people believe what they say because they seem more educated. People believe that money comes from a good job which stems from a good education. ]]> 2021-10-18 16:53:56 UTC https://padlet.com/jhunter136_1/njjpeukf1emxf7x6/wish/1824749056 jfinkle1 https://padlet.com/jhunter136_1/njjpeukf1emxf7x6/wish/1824749616 Famous athletes and actors have a greater influence on pop culture and social actions because their opinions are valued by those who follow them.

In totalitarian and communist countries, the government has the most power as they control all corporations within their country. In capitalist countries, like the US, the corporations or those with tremendous wealth have the most power as the country is driven by wealth. In democratic countries, the people have the most influence, however, the government has the final say.]]> 2021-10-18 16:55:12 UTC https://padlet.com/jhunter136_1/njjpeukf1emxf7x6/wish/1824752327 sykhatter1_1 https://padlet.com/jhunter136_1/njjpeukf1emxf7x6/wish/1824752980 Athletes and actors have a lot of social power and can influence others.

For example, in a country that is run through a democracy, the people would have more power in society because rules are made through the majority of votes. However, if a country is run by totalitarian or communist ideals, then the government has absolute authority no matter what the people say.

Although generation X did have the most influence in our society in the early 2000’s, it is currently the Baby Boomers as the most powerful. This is because Baby Boomers account for the most political and economical power in our current society, though this might change soon, due to most of them either being retired or soon to be retired. Though this is true that they are soon to be retired, their wealth is tremendously large. In fact, Baby Boomers hold over half of all U.S. household wealth and their economic influence is nearly half of that in the entire USA. Politically, Boomers have the most power as wells. For instance, political spending on electoral campaigns primarily comes from Boomers. Furthermore, when it comes to money spent on lobbying, organizations led by Baby Boomers are in the lead for the most spent. ]]> 2021-10-18 16:58:18 UTC https://padlet.com/jhunter136_1/njjpeukf1emxf7x6/wish/1824763818 bchoi12 https://padlet.com/jhunter136_1/njjpeukf1emxf7x6/wish/1824768275 I think the generation with the most power as it stand now would be Generation X. While Gen Z and the millennials may have social media, many of them are not in a position of direct power, such as a legislature or the board of a company.
