This last week, the famous 18 year old actress has now been spotted with her fifth tattoo- a dream catcher. The dream catcher has four feathers that represent her four siblings. Miley Cyrus already had 4 tattoos (on her finger, ear, and torso), all which she claims have a "special" meaning and are reminders of people who are dear to her. Miley Cyrus, who had previously aired on the popular TV series, Hannah Montana, has been trying to break out of her Disney channel star shell and this seems to be one of the ways to start.
This is not journalism. Honestly, I don't think that needed to be stated if you had read the article yourself. Journalism is providing information to the public about themselves so that they can be independent and self-governing. Knowing about Miley Cyrus' tattoos does not help the public become independent or self-governing. In fact, if an individual invests their time in reading articles like this, it would seem reasonable to believe that their IQ would drop at an alarming rate. Knowing the details of an individual's personal life and writing about it is not journalism- it doesn't even come close.
Revelation (Social Science): In society, truth is not relative to the individual, but rather is absolute and its source is solely God. Tolerance understands other's ideas, but does not require a surrender of your world view. Miley Cyrus has claimed to be a Christian throughout her whole singing and acting career. Being a example to a younger generation of girls, it would seem reasonable to believe that she also holds to the same standard of truth- that truth is solely from God. Yet some of her past actions don't reflect the truth of God. In this case, a younger audience should tolerate her behavior but not surrender to it, nor follow it because they admire her.
