What has recently sparked controversy is the Kardashian family's "view of struggle": the best advice for professional women.
In this short video, four Kardashian women offer several suggestions for working women:
First: Cheer me up and go to work! Now it seems like a lot of people can think too much, you have to stay with people who want to work hard.
Second: Have a healthy work environment where everyone is passionate about their work and don't stay in a toxic work environment.
Third: If you're the best person in that environment, you'd better hurry up and stay somewhere else. You have to be with people who are successful in order to make yourself a successful person. There are a lot of people who are afraid to spend time with good people and to associate with smart, rich people, but I want to be with them and that drives me to work harder.
Fourth: Success certainly won't happen overnight, but if you're willing to try and put in the effort, you'll always get the rewards.
The content itself may sound inspirational and correct, but the question is, from the Kardashian family's proposal of such a "concept of struggle", it always seems that there is something wrong with the painting style?
On the one hand, they are right that to excel in any field, it must depend on the efforts behind it, and the Kardashians are no exception.
As Jin Jie said in the video, do you think we are just taking photos of the product? Isn't it just that simple?!
From Miss Hilton's former small follower, to becoming a global Internet celebrity aesthetic vane (even our 63-year-old Sister Mai has turned herself into Kardashian!). This is certainly not a casual success, it requires not only hard work, but also a willingness to give up almost all privacy and extremely savvy business acumen.
Look at "Walking with the Kardashian Family", which has been popular for 20 seasons since 2007 and is still full of super popularity in the final season, you will know how playful and willing the Kardashian family is. After last year's final announcement, on April 14, the new reality show "The Kardashians" officially launched. The first sentence of the new drama in the trailer is: Life without cameras is really too much for us.
This reality show is a global hit, and the trailer that was previously released has done its best to throw out all kinds of "gossip". From Sister Jin's journey to Kanye to Kim's second child movements, to Kloe's "very complicated" relationship with her father, a child who has been divided and cheated on repeatedly (and guarantees that everyone will definitely see the direction of the two in the new drama)... The view is very hard at satisfying the audience's voyeurism.
(Kim was very low-key when she gave birth to her first child, and this time, in the trailer for the new show, she promised to witness all the journey of the pregnancy with the audience.) ）
(At the same time, a clip was inserted in the trailer: Sister Jin was eagerly messaging on her phone, and the choreographer immediately took the opportunity to gossip, "Are you chatting with Pete?" Sister Jin immediately showed a happy smile with great cooperation. Whether new boyfriend Pete Davidson will join this season's rookies has also become a major attraction for the masses. ）
In order to publicize this rookie, the Kardashian family also frequently released various big moves, collectively desperately participated in various interviews, and it was from these interviews that the "concept of struggle" was thrown out.
(The whole family went on the famous American talk show Jimmy Kimmel Live, from the principle of family dressing coordination to Kourtney's "fake marriage.") ）
A week before the start of the broadcast, the whole family also walked on the red carpet of the premiere together.
In addition to a long silver dress that couldn't be tighter, Jin Jie also brought her new boyfriend Pete Davidson, and of course, she contracted all the hot searches of the day without suspense.
(The same contract hot search also includes these two backs.) ）
Kourtney walked the red carpet with her fiancé Travis Barker, who was engaged last October.
(Meanwhile, Kourtney also posted photos of the two "getting married" in Las Vegas on Ins.) However, according to her, the Kardashian family will never allow her to marry "secretly" like this, but will hold a grand party for her. Undoubtedly, these will become the material for future reality shows. ）
Aside from the reality shows in full swing, almost everyone in the Kardashians has a business empire of their own.
According to Forbes, Kim Kardashian currently has a fortune of $1.8 billion, mostly from beauty and perfume company KKM, and some from her own plastic underwear brand SKIMS.
SkiMS's latest publicity photo invited top supermodels such as former Victoria's Secret Angel Sugar Candy, AA, Tai Ma Tyra, Heidi and other top models to appear on camera, and standing in the C position is still Jin Jie - even she herself can't help but sayOnic! (Classic)
By the way, Jin Jie also passed the bar exam under such circumstances! "I've failed 3 times in the last 2 years, but each time I started over and studied harder until I succeeded!"
Such a spirit is really in line with their family's "concept of struggle".
But why do we still think that there is something wrong with the painting style? A foreign netizen said one of the true meanings: the information is good, but the people who can pass on the information have some problems.
After all, what made Jin Jie famous overnight was originally a videotape, and the family she was born into and the man she married directly contributed to her position today - throwing away these factors and only talking about her own struggles and efforts, which is obviously to avoid the importance.
(Some netizens called her "teaching" a "rich teaching": A person who has never experienced poverty tells you how to get out of poverty.) ）
Indeed, the subtext in this "struggle view" statement seems to imply an assumption: women are not successful because you don't work hard enough, because you are not willing to force yourself to live with the best people.
Is this really the case?
The documentary book "Women's Poverty", based on an interview with Japan's NHK Television, explores the root causes of the long-term poverty of a large number of Japanese women and finds that the vast majority of women's poverty stems from social structural problems. On the one hand, employers are more likely to position women as lower-earning "contract workers" because of the perception that women (because they are pregnant and have children) cannot work for long periods of time; on the other hand, single mothers have little choice about their careers due to the lack of social security.
Many studies have shown that the poor are often unable to lift themselves out of poverty by working their own, and that the primary causes of poverty come from social inequality and marginalization.
No wonder the Kardashian family's "struggle" remarks have caused great controversy, and actress Jamma jamil has publicly "shelled": "If you grew up in Beverly Hills and had super successful parents... No one needs to listen to your success/struggle rhetoric. ”
So, the Kardashian family's "concept of struggle", what do you think?
