I wanted to include this website about justin bieber because it is a current topic. Our society got use to Justin Bieber protraying a certain image so now that his image has changed in the eyes of the public is is sometimes viewed negatively. Everything that Justin does wrong is going to become a huge deal because he isnt living up to an image that everyone expects him to have in the eyes of the public.
