In this website they give you tips on how to be cool. Instead of telling you what cool people do or how they act, they give you tis on how to be cool. And some of the tips they gave you to be cool was some of the things that we discussed in class. Things like, not following the crowd and having your own identity, to speak your mind, being different then everybody else and not foloowing the trend and maybe start your own trend. There was one tip that they gave that we haven't talked about in class I don't think. The tip was being calm in any situation that is given to you. I like that one alot because I seen when people thought that the brave kid that didn't choke up in any situation was cool. So this website gives you tips on how to be cool. But who is to say these tips are the actual ways of being cool. Some one could think other wise.

TV show-The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air

This is a 90's TV show that still comes on because it is so cool and popular. It's about this teenager from Philadelphia (Will Smith) and he moves with his aunt and uncle and they deal with his clowning around and crazy life. Cool people tend to be the cool people which is why Will Smith and Carlton Banks seem to stand out above the other cast members. Will stands out because he wears sneakers, Hats and sporty gear while his other family members wears casual outfit's, is one the reasons why he stands out and makes the show cool and different. There was never a show like this becasue the stuff that goes on is so crazzy and it makes you think how someone could have a character like that. Like in one episode they was going to a dinner and the family had suits and ties and dresses while Will had black shorts on with a T-shirt that had a fake Tuxedo on it. He was loud and making jokes. As crazy and disrespectful that is, it's also the reason why so many people watch the show. So sometimes acting crazy can make you cool in a way.

Magizine- PEOPLE magizine

This is a Celebrity magizine that everybody likes to pick up while they are waitin to put their groceries on the conveyor belt. It's a magizine thatEverybody has because of the information and articles that is has in it. Like in Some of those Magizines, they have interviews on celebrities and their sex life whats going on in their lives and so on and so forth. And stuff like that is what people love to feed off. Because to hear about the personal life of a celebrity is so much of need like bases, that the more stories and interviews they have the more popular they get. Not only that but the magizine has Red carpet photo's of different celebrites wearing the same thing. They would have a percentage posted bassed on which celebrity wore that particular outfit better. This magizine is so cool to people because the features that it has in it, allows people to see the world of fashion and celeb life and have opinions about it. So it's not only being the things certain people do to get coolness but it can be a simple magizine that has alot of things to offer to the public that make them cool.
