           Why do you think we, as a society, care more about Hollywood than the Curiosity Rover exploring Mars? The answer is simple, not everyone has the same interests.  People have different minds, and that garentees a difference in things cared about as a society.  This also means that there are people that do care about such scientific things as the Mars Rover, if there were not some people that took interest in it, there would be no such thing as a Mars Rover.  Although there are some that take intrest in science, there are many more poeple who take a liking to something less complex, such as Hollywood stars. Not only is it a more simple (in terms of understanding) intrest than science, it also has many more catagories for people to take intrest in. For instance, in Hollywood we have the rich and the famous, who either worked to be that way or those that were born into that power.  From there comes the different ways the worked to fame.  Some through the path of music, others acting.  Here is the point where things get very diverse.  There is a very wide scale to the genres of both music and acting careers; country music, horor films, commedies, rap music, love songs, romance movies and television shows. This wide range allows more for more people to take interest in.  "Hollywood" is a much more broad subject than "the Curiosity Rover exploring Mars."  There is simply more people interested in the many dimensions of  "Hollywood" then people that care about whats on Mars.
