The
word hero is defined as “a person celebrated for his bold exploits” or “a
person noted for feats of courage or nobility of purpose (The American Heritage
Dictionary, 1994). When it comes about the topic “Hero”, It’s not applicable to
my topic “Beats by Dr. Dre”. But the idea of making this product is the main,
thus the founder himself is the hero here. This product is a huge success for
specially music lovers and the communicators. To illustrate by example, people
who use beats products and are touched with it for them the founder Dr. Dre
and Jimmy Iovine are the heroes are they
influence them to use it and they are satisfied with the quality of these products.
While
Celebrity is defined as “a famous person or a renowned person” (The American
Heritage Dictionary, 1994) to describe about the cult of celebrities is applied
here more often, Beats by Dr. Dre includes different well known faces, to the
list they are Dr. Dre, Lady Gaga, Justin Bieber. They have their own named
products as a series, Heart beats headphone are made in the name of Lady Gaga
while Just Beats represents Justin Bieber, Fan’s of these celebrities are bound
to use these products as these fans are their idols and they believe that what
they use is the most important. While people have a belief that the products
used by celebrities are no doubt a reliable one in terms of sound and
durability.
Finally
to sum up we came to know that the only heroes about this product is the
founder who invented it, Namely Dr. Dre and
Jimmy Iovine. They are heroes for people because this influence people buy
these products. While celebrities who are linked with these products has led
their fans to create a cult as their fans believes in those products what they
use. This always may not be always true
because some celebrity is only paying for the advertisement. You can only be
sure about the quality of these products by using it and experiencing it.
