People love to know about the lives of famous people like actors or singers. This interest has created what we call "celebrity culture." It is when famous people are seen everywhere and they sometimes even sell products. Long ago, groups of people had their own culture that you could see and understand. But this culture with famous people is different because it is not about a group, but about what everyone likes. People from all areas, like movies, music, or sports, can be celebrities. We have this culture because many people enjoy looking into the lives of these famous people. It is like a hobby for them. The famous people also take part in this by sharing their lives with everyone. Nowadays, following what celebrities do is very common. We like to see their photos, know who their friends are, and learn about their style. This culture has become a part of how some people have fun. Celebrity culture started a long time ago in America. In the late 1800s, rich people wanted others to talk about them. People were interested in gossip and stories about these rich and famous people. Now, we still like to hear about the lives of celebrities as a form of fun and as a break from our own lives.

There is a group called the Free Speech Coalition. It helps people who make and sell adult movies and toys in America. They started in 1991 and they don't like laws that stop people from saying or showing certain things, except if someone steals movies or shows without permission. A long time ago, before 1969, people who made adult films and sold toys didn't work together much. But then, a big group called the Adult Film Association of America was made. They helped people who had trouble with the law because of what they sold or showed. In 1987, a big change happened. A person who made adult films was taken to court because they paid actors to be in movies. This was thought to be against the law. But in 1989, a big court in California said it was okay to make adult movies. Even after that, people who sold adult movies had problems. The police tried to close a lot of stores in Los Angeles. The government didn't like these movies and tried to stop them from being sold by using secret plans. So, the Free Speech Coalition was made to help protect the rights of the people who make and sell adult movies and toys. They believe people should be free to watch these movies and use these toys if they want to.

Some people say that personal things are also political things. This idea became very popular in the 1960s and 1970s because of a big group of women who wanted to change things. They called this the feminist movement. A woman named Carol Hanisch wrote about this idea in 1969, and many people started talking about it. It was a big part of the feminist movement. It was also important for people fighting for civil rights, students, and black power. What does "the personal is political" mean? It means that the things that happen in our daily lives are connected to big rules and ideas in society. People started to see that even small problems at home were actually big problems because of the way society was organized. Before, people thought that if a woman was not happy being a housewife or a mother, it was her personal problem. But now they started to say it was a political problem too. Women's unhappiness at home needed to be looked at by everyone, not just seen as a small, unimportant issue. People started to understand that politics affects every part of our lives, even the most private parts.
