Cultivation Theory is basically when people believe what they see on t.v.. The more people watch t.v. then the more they have to believe is true. A popular phenomenon in American television is torture. I probably can't count on both hands the amount of movies or shows that display torture, and it is almost always effective. It's possible that the the popularization of torture on t.v. is what has caused it's use to continue in real life. According to two polls, the majority of American citizens believe torture works and/or is justified. This has been proven to be untrue when dealing with terrorists. One did decide to spill the beans, but made the whole thing up, and sent the CIA to Montana to find nothing. One agent even talked about how torture doesn't work and went on to talk about how to successfully interrorgate terrorists.
When it comes to Celebrity Culture the word privacy doesn't really come to mind. Their everyday lives are publicized and they can't do anything without everyone knowing. In the case of Justine Sacco this appears to be true because she made one disrespectful tweet and got her own taste of celebrity culture. Not a good one either. She essentially became a celebrity and was the most talked about topic on Twitter at one point. This taste of celebrity culture pretty much ruined her life as she got fired and everyone in the world thinks she's a racist. This shows that anyone could become a celebrity, sometimes against their will and not in a positive aspect. So you should be more careful about what you put on the internet.
