Is Michael Jackson a positive or a negative influence? Do you believe that his positive behaviour outweighs his negative behaviour?Michael Jackson as an Influencer “It’s been my dream since I was a child to somehow unite people of the world through love and music” Obviously, one of the ways Michael Jackson influenced people was through his music and his dancing. We recognise his dancing because of his famous crotch grabs, shrieks, twirls and his unique moonwalking.
Using his fame for good, Michael Jackson supported and donated to Cancer research, AIDS and various refugees. He also influenced celebrities to use their social media and followings to raise awareness to the causes that matter to them. From Michael Jackson’s musical influence, came his impact on fashion. His high fashion style still influences the industry today by making people look good and making them feel confident about themselves.
Justin Bieber and Kanye West have taken some of Michael Jackson’s fashion ideas and made them their own which will make more people buy the clothes that Michael Jackson wore because people will think it’s cool and will make them feel better about themselves. Even though Michael Jackson has been dead for 10 years the fashion industry still tries to replicate his fashion from his fancy red jackets to fedora hats and his famous shiny jackets with all different types of colours and styles.
While Michael Jackson was doing an advertisement he was very badly burned but all the money he got from Pepsi he donated to a charity. One of the ways Michael Jackson influenced the world was through global culture and bringing everyone together. The way he got everyone together was to sing it, tell them about in his song and when he went on tours, he would share the love and tell them how to be good people. He also shows that he wants to change the world in his lyrics like when he sung “If you wanna make the world a better place, take a look at yourself and make that change”.
Now, I’m going to tell you how Michael Jackson was a bad influence and about some of the negative things that he did. Michael Jackson did some repulsive things when he was alive. He had relationships with two kids under the age of 12 and he slept with one of them for 367 consecutive days. He also brought several other kids into his apartment to do inappropriate things to them. In 2005, Michael was sent to trial for molesting young 13-year-old Gavin Arvizo. Even though he was said to be found not guilty the now 29-year Gavin said that when he was younger, Michael Jackson did many inappropriate things to him.
There is also a video of Michael Jackson hanging his baby off the balcony of the apartment building that he was staying at. By doing that people won’t think Michael Jackson is responsible and they might not trust him. The baby had a blanket over his head which Michael threw to his fans after. Now after all the information I have given you, it is now up to you to decide whether you think Michael Jackson is a good or bad influence.
