A Role Model or a Victim of the Media?

WHO IS HE, AND WHAT DID HE DO?
Justin Bieber is a Canadian pop musician. Born in London, Ontario, this Canadian can play instruments such as the drums, piano, guitar and the trumpet. Currently signed to Island Def Jam Records, he was discovered in 2008 by Scooter Braun, who came across Bieber's videos on YouTube, and later became his manager. Although he is living the life every teen would die for, he was accused of being the father to some girl’s unborn child in early 2012. He was also rumoured to have smoked marijuana which led to many ‘Beliebers’ cutting themselves to express their frustration and disappointment.

WHAT WE THINK…

We look at this character as a rich brat as all he portrays the thrifty lifestyle in his videos. From being surrounded by girls to luxurious cars, there is not much values that he exhibits, compared to other artists like Alicia Keys or The Script that promotes healthy values. Despite what is shown by the media, he isn’t all that bad, we genuinely think he is a hardworking boy.
