The Royal Wedding
THE ROYAL WEDDING
Every woman in this world has a dream of becoming a princess. Who would not? Isn’t it so lovely living the rest of your life with the man of your dream? Living in a palace like in Disney movies? Kate Middleton, a commoner, now the Duchess of Cambridge, became an instrument of hope of becoming a princess for these young ladies. Commoner or rich, they are all looking up to Kate. It gives hope for all young ladies that someday they will find their prince too.

The royal wedding indeed catches the eye of the world which boosts Britain’s economy. According to the website www.theroyalweddingwilliamkate.com , roughly two billion people around the globe tuned in to their televisions to watch the wedding and around 30 million overseas people flock to the UK to witness the wedding of Catherine Middleton and Prince William. The royal wedding benefits Britain’s capital economy to 30 to 50 million pounds. According to survey, around 1000 USD per day is the minimum amount that the tourist spends in London (www.cbsnews.com) .

Though the royal wedding brings a lot of money to the country, in contrary, it also has disadvantages. In spite of the recession that we are now facing, overseas people still wanting to go to the UK just to watch the wedding which is quiet a waste of money. Though there are no reported cases of people being ill, it is not good for people to stay outside the house during night and to sleep in the park just to wait for the event. It is unlikely that young people will get cough and cold.

In conclusion, the royal wedding brings a lot of money to this country. Though not all people from around the world was able to witness the wedding live, it still brings good mood to all people amid stressful life, hectic schedule and recession. People from different beliefs and race celebrate one event that is the wedding of the Prince and the commoner, the marriage of the Royal family and the mass.

    In "The Princess Paradox" James Poniewozik suggests that being a princess is much different now than it used to be. But many daughters will always want to be princesses, no matter how much the idea of "princess" has changed over the years. Poniewozik starts his article off by stating that people often try to keep their girls from wanting to become princesses. But in the end they always will want to. Poniewozik states that girls used to want to be a princess with a pampered life. But to him this wasn't what princesses want anymore. They don't want help when they're in trouble, some of them go looking for trouble. No need for a prince to come save them, they can do it on their own. In fact, Poniewozik says that the princesses would much rather "save Prince Charming, thank you" (324), because they feel as though they can be independent and confident in life on their own. They don't always need a prince charming, unless they chose to have one.…

    The founder of the modern Olympics, Pierre de Coubertin, believed that the Olympics were the true free trade of the future, that could help increase economics(Doc 1). In 1892, Europe was enduring a lot of political tension, he may have believed that trade could help calm the political tensions and boost the economy (Doc 1). Countries that have been chosen to host the Olympic games, have greatly benefited from it. For example, Japan greatly appreciated their being chosen for the Olympics because, they felt it had helped them recover after their defeat in the World War (Doc 7). The senses of appreciation showed the world that the Olympics gave good exposure to the host country (Doc 5).

    Poniewozik begins by stating that it is a nightmare for the young girls wanting to be princesses today. Society expects every little girl wants to be a princess. Poniewozik blames Hollywood for this. It’s true in recent decades that Hollywood has produced quite a few cinderella stories and also many other fairy-tail type projects. It’s not a bad thing for them to do this because they’re making a large profit off these projects. Princess fairytale stories and movies are surprisingly popular today. Poniewozik claims that we have come a long way from the girls-kick-ass-culture of just a few years ago (Poniewozik 666).…

    “I want to be a ballerina princess”. You see, the difference between a regular princess and a ballerina princess is the elegance. Ballerinas held an elegance and ferocity during performances that were sensational. On the other hand, Disney princesses always had their happy endings and by combining both, my goal was set. Soon enough, ballet performances and Disney movies about princesses clouded my practicality with absurd idealism.…

    Princess Culture

    • 1079 Words
    • 5 Pages

    The twenty-first century has transformed from traditional customs to more liberal ideas. One example is the view of Cinderella and how she may be detrimental to young females or how she can be molded to society’s view and become empowered. Critic from Time magazine and author of “The Princess Paradox,” James Poniewozik discusses how the idea of princesses can be powerful or harmful to the adolescent women of today. He emphasizes Hollywood’s version of Cinderella in real life portrayals and suggests that there are quite a few princesses in existence who are strong and self-determined and not weak and helpless. Like Poniewozik, Peggy Orenstein examines roles of princesses; however, she does so in a different light. Self-proclaimed feminist and author of “Cinderella and Princess Culture,” Orenstein describes how as a mother of the Grranimals era she is struggling with her daughter growing up in the princess world (671). The author points out many different aspects of the princess culture that she fears may be more than a craze, such as Club Libby Lu, the princess franchise, and animated movies of Disney princesses. Although both authors agree that princesses may be just a phase, Orenstein fears from a mothers’ perspective that princesses are a negative role model, whereas Poniewozik describes from a critic’s point of view that princess could potentially do no harm.…

    In James Poniewozik’s “The Princess Paradox”, he introduces the idea that young girls find becoming a princess appealing, even if they are raised to be an independent woman. Poniewozik, who is a media critic for the Time magazine, seems intrigued by the evolution of princesses and how it uses feministic views to create a pleasing appearance to the younger generations who are being raised with feminist ideals. Poniewozik claims that feministic themes find their way into our culture and as a consequence creates the twenty-first century Cinderella, a strong woman who still enjoys her gown. So although some feminist may denounce Poniewozik’s assertion that independent women find comfort in being treated as a princess, evidence throughout his essay could point towards the idea that self-reliant women still want to be saved into sovereignty.…

    It probably never entered anyone’s heads that the funding was taken from their taxes as they donned absurd red, white and blue creations in the name of patriotism. No one asked how much it was costing. Or who was paying for the whole shebang! I wasn’t bothered at the time either, nor the school kids and workers, happy for a day off and an excuse to watch telly. Those who went to see it in person couldn’t even see the Queen properly, unless they were pressed against the gates of Buckingham Palace. If they could, they weren’t able to see each Swarovski crystal they had paid for on her outfit. Whilst she was living it up, waving to her subjects, I reckon she was trying to push one nagging thought to the back of her mind. That by letting the country take the day off, good old Liz had set us back £1.2 billion.…

    With all the marriages taking place, the country would make quite a bit of money. In the first year that gay marriage was legal in New York City, the city reaped $259 million, due to license fees and wedding-related spending, according to CNNMoney. Imagine how much money Kentucky would earn. Marriage makes people more financially stable and less likely to qualify for government assistance, Bloomberg reports. Therefore, legalizing same-sex marriage would save the government hundreds of millions per year in welfare funding, according to Bloomberg's Josh Barro. A recent study from the Williams Institute at UCLA estimated that same-sex weddings would boost the economies in Maine, Maryland and Washington by $166 million over the next three years. Legalizing same-sex marriage would bring in between $20 million and $40 million more per year in taxes, according to a December paper from University of Michigan economist Adam Stevenson. A study found that consumer spending on same-sex weddings could total $2,537,757,118 if the unions are legal throughout the U.S.…
