Popularity in my words is when you are really social and many people know you or know of you. Popularity may affect a lot of people because they want to be more popular. Who wouldn't want to have a lot of friends and people who know you? The only thing wrong with it is that sometimes people are so desprate that they try to hard to get other people to like them, so they aren't being themselves and that is stupid. Everyone should be their own individual because everyone was made to be different and thats what makes everyone interesting. Popualarity doesn't affect me and many other people very much because, sure we care what other people think about us, but not to the extent that we aren't going to be ourselves. Even if other people think your a little "weird" you shouldn't not be yourself. People get so caught up in what other people may think about them and don't even know who they are anymore, and that isn't what we want. Then the world would be extremly boring!
Populartiy is haveing many friends. It is also haveing a lot of people like you. I think everone wants to be popular. When your popular you get to talk to a lot of people. Some people try way too hard to be popular and end up acting stupid. This affects my life because a lot of people know me. I went to Oak Valley and White Lake so I am in the middle of the popularity rateing. It also affects me because I don't care how popular I am. I don't try to be popular I just try to be myself. Being myself has given me my real friends and thats all that matters. This can realate to being transcendental because they don't try and do what everyone else is doing. They just try to be them selfs and become friends with people as them selfs.
In my words popularity is where you are known by everyone. You are a very social person an socialize with everyone. This concept can affect many people. Not everyone is popular and that may lower their self asteem or make that person feel bad. This idea really doesn't affect me in anyway though. This can be an example of transendental because popular people are use to doing what they want and don't follow other people. I try not following other people I try following what I believe in.
Popularity is when you can be very social and alot of people want to be around you. This concept of popularity affects me along with everyone else. Popularity is good because it's great to have alot of friends instead of being anti-social. But even though popularity doesn't affect me negitivly, it might affect others that way. It's easy for me to be social because that's just who i am, but for others where it's harder to just walk up to someone and start a conversation, they could get upset because there not popular. You don't have to know everyone and be friends with everyone to be popular and i think many people think that's the case. This could be the idea of transdental because most people will try to just be themselves to get friends. But without popularity the world would get really boring, with no people to want to talk to you.
popularity can be miss-interpreted if you are "self centered". the reason i say if you are self centered because you might think that popularity is some one that is stuck up and look like barbie and ken. but in my opinion popularity is how well you interact with people and how you think of yourself. if you think positive about yourself then you are popular if you think negatively then its not that your not popular its just you might not be as interactive with people which wont let you blossom. this concept affects my life because of how it judges people and what people think about you. this idea can be transcendental by how it creates groups of people and puts them into a group. that is what i think about popularity and what i think it means
Okay, I have soooo much to say about popularity and how stupid I think it is. But, I'll keep this as short as possible. I read some of the other blogs and they said popularity is having a lot of friends and being the center of all things. I agree and disagree. There are different kinds of popular. The popular most people think of first is the people that have the stereotype of 'prep' or the 'cool' kids. At least that's what I think of, and I know other people that also think that. Those people in my opinion are well known, not well liked. So, that's where I disagree with a lot of other kids. The other type of popular is when people want to be around you. You are a person that is fun, and you are not a fake. Popularity has never really affected my life. And I wont let it start. I don't care about all of that. I'm not the kind of person who needs to have everyone like me. If you don't, it's your problem. I don't like feeling like I have to change to become someone worth your time. I'm not like that. I have met some really great friends by being who I am, and that is a great thing. You should never have to change who you are as a person to try to become popular. Being yourself is the best thing to do.
Mariah Fabean. I'm pretty sure that was really confusing.
Popularity in my opinion is when many people want to be around you. Popularity may affect your old friends because you don't want to be around them anymore. If I absolutely had to I would try to become popular by being myself. Everyone is popular in their own way. Teachers can be popular with their students. A food product can be popular by many people liking it. This can be an example of transcendentalism because people are trying to be different from everyone else. I also agree with everyone else.

Popularity is how many people like you and how much. If you are considered popular, then you probably have a lot or friends. or it could mean you hang out with the popular, cool crowd. or it can mean what the majority of the people think or baleve. For example popular sovereignty, were the citizens vote, and the most votes for something wins, or the most popular vote. This affects my life because, the more popular i am the more friends i have. but i rather have fewer good friends, than a bunch who want to be your friend to be cool. but iv got lots of good friends anyway.
I don't know why but i look up the definition of popular to be exact and look smart. Popular means regarded with great favor, approval, or affection especially by the general public. Bascily what everyone said i just made it look different. This doesn't affect me at all. I don't really care what people think about me. Basicly if you don't like the way i am piss off then and don't talk to me. I get along with 90% of the people i met tho. This could be trascdental because some don't care what people think of them.
When you are well-known and everyone is on a good note with you, is the definition of popularity in my words. Not that you are notorious, but you are known in a good way. When somebody says your name, everyone will know who they are talking about. And when they talk about you, its all good things; you aren't on bad terms with anyone. This can relate to transcendentalism because being popular, means people like you for you; for the way you act. And its not usually a blend-in kind of personality. They really stick out there in a positive way. They take risks with their actions because they believe in them that they are the right thing. They are popular because what they do is something that no one else does and everyone knows about and likes it.
I think that popularity is being know by a alot of people. I dont think it is necesarily good or bad to be popular. If your popular you have a lot of people that will influence you. Which may be good or bad. But if your popular you have a lot of people that you can talk to and hang out with. But if you arent popular you dont have many people to talk to, or to hang out with. Also if you arent popular you dont have a lot of people influencing you. which also could be good or bad. So to me being popular is good and bad. But thats only my opinion.
Popularity to me means to be kind and generous to everyone and to be very social. However, the popular people usually become stuck up and snooty when they realize they have many friends. Most kids waste their time trying to become more popular but to me you are popular in your own group of friends rather than trying to be something you're not. This can be transcendental because usually when you're trying to be popular you are trying to be what you think the popular people are and not yourself. Everyone should be their own individual. I would rather be liked for who I am than liked for who i'm not. If people like you when you are preteding to be someone else then they aren't your real friends. If you're always pretending you never get to be yourself. So instead of striving to be popular just sit back and be yourself and then you will know who your real friends truly are.
I believe popularity means to be friends with a lot of people. It also means not to have a lot of people dislike you. You have to be social as well. Some people try WAY to hard to be popular. They try to make fun of other people to get more people to like them because they think they're funny. To tell the truth, I think these people should go to hell because they're putting someone else down to help themselves. If anything you should be helping other people even if it means putting yourself down. This is what I try to do. Even if your not liked by the "Popular" kids, don't change yourself to try and impress them. They will probably end up catching you doing something wrong and completely humiliate you. I know this is wrong but its the honest truth. The friends you really want to have is the ones that will stick with you through anything, the ones that will help you when your down, and the ones that would take a punch for you. What I'm basically trying to say is don't try and be someone your not. If you can stay true to this people will like you a lot more then your "fake" personality. This idea can be transcendental because your not doing what everyone else wants you to do, your following what you believe is right.
Popularity is one of the most overrated things in the world. Everyone wants to be the popular one when it really isnt that big of a deal. Popularity means how many friends you have. In a highschool being popular is a big deal. Transcendental plays a big part because everyone wants to be popular but not everyone can. Be a part of the "popular group" is not as a big of a deal as everyone makes it out to be. Most people in that group are conformate and just do whatever the group is instead of doing what they believe. This is what I think of popularity and how it plays a role in my life.
