Many people enjoy to watch famous celebrities and famous people on TV and in the movies because people fantasize about being that person they see. Everyone wants to be successful, when I watch people on TV that are rich I like it and at the same time i dislike it. I like it because i can visualize myself in the future being that person on TV, but at the same time i get upset watching these shows and movies because i start to think that it is not fair. Many of these people that are rich are Caucasians, i am not saying that they did not work hard for what they got. But they probably grew up in a stable economy and an okay environment. Unlike a lot of us minority growing up in a economically disfranchised family, and living in the ghetto's and slums. This always pushes me and drives me even more to be more successful, and thus giving me the need for me to get what i want in life.
