Three examples of icons are McDonald’s, Madonna, and the Mona Lisa. McDonald’s is the dominant fast food chain. Available at exits off highways across America and most developed cities, McDonald’s has ingrained itself in America and now across the world. The golden arch signifies burgers and fries at low prices. Madonna is the most notable symbol of female pop music and once embodied female sexuality in entertainment. The Mona Lisa is one of the most popular pieces of art and sought after by millions across the world.
McDonald’s is an icon to me, because they changed the way we eat. Fast food is now a part of our culture. Families very often find themselves at a fast food restaurant than at a dining room in their home. Madonna not only became the voice of pop but also its body. By embracing sexuality in her performance, Madonna paved the way for stars like Christina Aguilera and Britney Spears. As years passed, Madonna stayed on top with her ability to adapt to the changing pop scene and showed a different generation her talent as an artist. Even those without complete exposure to art recognize the face of Leonardo Da Vinci’s Mona Lisa.
People around the world share a love of McDonald’s that borders on obsession. Madonna has impressed millions of fans of music around the world. The Mona Lisa’s appeal is untouchable—literally. These three examples represent icons today and will live on for a long time to come.
