I was just always that kid that just did whatever. And my mom always supported that. So I always looked up to Michael because he was never afraid to just be himself. Never tried to be anything that he wasn’t. Justin Bieber Is there a better reflection of a culture than its pop stars? Like nubile little Tesla coils, our chart-toppers are very often both receptors for and projections of our collective energies. And, at 21, Justin Bieber, the kid who grew up playing for cash on the streets of small-town Canada and now plays to sold-out arenas across the world, is basically living like our collective id—if our collective id were jet-skiing on an ocean of money and fame: stepping out with models, befriending moguls, modeling underwear, and hooping it up at the Staples Center with Kanye West. Bieber’s Instagrams are perfect little portraits of adolescent appetite paired with the kind of material wealth to accommodate it: whirling around on a Back to the Future-style hoverboard, as he was in a recent video, while aboard a private jet.

But it’s not as if Bieber isn’t totally unaware of what goes on down here in the mundane world. In March, he threw a Friars Club-style roast of himself on Comedy Central, inviting the likes of Martha Stewart, Kevin Hart, and Snoop Dogg to poke some holes in the very self- serious, straight-faced image he’d been projecting. Look, he gets it. He knows what it looks like to be arrested for racing a Skittle-colored Lamborghini down the streets of Miami Beach. But he’s ready to laugh at himself too.

“People say that Miss Universe has to be a good speaker. But I want to be the first Miss Universe to be a good listener.” Speech by 'Amanda Abdam', a Thai representative of the Miss Universe 2020 pageant, which at the moment she has left for the Seminole Hard Rock Hotel & Casino, Florida, USA. and has successfully passed the preliminary round. Amanda's clothes, face, hair and walking skills. has created a buzz and a lot of hope for Thai people But that's not all that will allow Amanda to win the third crown for Thailand. If thinking with the same base We will understand that social action is all formed by listening. We listen so we believe We believe so we do It depends on the experience of the listener how to interpret that. Because not every hearing leads to social action that should be accepted and justified. On this point, we might ask Amanda what exactly is the definition of 'listening'? Would she dare to talk about the problem of disobedience in Thai society that she was just facing herself? Or how fierce is the political question on the Miss Universe stage this year? We will know each other on Monday, May 17, 2021, around 7:00 a.m. Thailand time.
