Selena Gomez
Throughout history, transcendentalism has become a part of an idealistic philosophy and has become a major social movement. Transcendentalism is a philosophy in which their beliefs consist of believing in yourself, and not being discouraged by others views around you. A true transcendentalist is someone who would absolutely be themselves, and would express views that support that same philosophy.
Selena Gomez, can be described as a true transcendentalist. Through her conveyance of transcendentalist views through her music, she has been able to move a younger audience in support of these beliefs. Her music supports the belief in yourself despite what others around you might think, and is against negative opinions of others. The use of her music has helped move a large audience in support of transcendentalist views by expressing that everyone is different, and that your potential is whatever you make of it. In her song, Who Says, her transcendentalist beliefs are shown through her lyrics.
You made me insecure,
Told me I wasn’t good enough.
But who are you to judge
When you’re a diamond in the rough?
I’m sure you got some things
You’d like to change about yourself.
But when it comes to me
I wouldn’t want to be anybody else.
Told me I wasn’t good enough.
But who are you to judge
When you’re a diamond in the rough?
I’m sure you got some things
You’d like to change about yourself.
But when it comes to me
I wouldn’t want to be anybody else.
Her music supports her younger audience to build their own self-idealistic ideas about achieving their goals and aspiring to become whatever they want to be.
Selena also expresses her same transcendentalist views through her personal life. Although she does not dress eccentrically, or express wild views, which may have supported a more transcendentalist belief, the way she handles her personal life is an example of her transcendentalism. Her personal relationship, which is her relationship with star, Justin Bieber, shows how she uses the transcendentalist views that she expresses in her music. Justin Bieber is world known and has millions of female fans. After the two began dating, Selena underwent some extremely negative and sometimes violent slander. Fans of Bieber, all over the world began to insult and threaten Selena for her relationship. And because of her transcendentalist views, Selena has been able to ignore all of the malicious comments and enjoy her life.
Selena can be described as a true transcendentalist through her music and her beliefs.
