Princess Culture

Princess Culture- Sense of Entitlement
The idea of a princess culture is no longer an idea, but a realization that the
princess culture is something very real. Very often I will hear girls refer to
themselves as princesses or make comments along the lines that I’m daddies
little princess and he will buy me whatever I want. But where did this attitude
come from. This has been harvested by the media and corporate entities that are
concerned with the consumer consuming things. Over time they have painted a picture
to parents and girls that status is more important than staying true to one’s
self. I would venture to say that if society was not as concerned with status,
than this idea of a princess would not be as relevant. Growing up in private
catholic schools, I went to school with some very wealthy people. They had it
all. But, for them society says that they have to keep their status at the
highest level and for them to do that they had to be spoiled. I have a good
friend who is a girl that I went to high school with who was very wealthy in
high school. She was a proud princess and would even say that she was her
daddies little princess. So in a nut shell she felt that way because she had
whatever she wanted and that she was a princess. When the recession hit in 2008
her family lost a lot. She was no longer allowed to have anything she wanted.
She would complain about this and I would just think of how selfish she
sounded. She feared that society would make fun of her for not being able to
keep her status as high as she wanted. This is why it’s important to stay true
to one ’s self.
