Kardashians spreads their impact

The most recent “breaking news” on the Kardashians entails Kim Kardashian sharing more photos of her kids. That would be normal for any parent with a Facebook account, but everything with the Kardashians somehow still seems to make the news.

The family made its mark on the world in 1995 when their dad, Robert Kardashian, defended O.J. Simpson in his trial. However, their mom, Kris Jenner, was a good friend to one of the victims. That must have made for awkward conversation during family dinners.

Their hit TV show, Keeping Up with the Kardashians, aired in 2007, and set the tone for Kardashian news when Kim’s adult film leaked. Yet many claim that she has a great influence on the youth, and that she represents a great role model.

The most popular news of the Kardashian family was when Caitlyn Jenner, step-mother of Khloe, Rob, Kim, and Kourtney, and previously Olympic gold medalist Bruce Jenner, announced her secret of being transgender. This was clearly a disappointment to everyone, because she ended the streak of females’ names in the family beginning with the letter K.

Consistency, though, is definitely not something this family is known for. Khloe Kardashian married basketball star Lamar Odom in 2009, then fake divorced him, then dated him, and finally really divorced him in October of 2016.

Kylie and Kendall Jenner, daughters of Kris and Caitlyn Jenner, also are contributors to society, in a way. Kendall is a model and Kylie sells makeup, so at least they expand their appeal compared to the others.

The Kardashians continue to serve absolutely no relevance in everyday lives, and the question remains: When will this ball will stop rolling? They are constantly congratulated for existing, so the bar is not set too high when it comes to looking for income. The message, apparently, is to strive to be like a Kardashian and get paid, recognized, and awarded for doing absolutely nothing.
