Solution

There is a perfect example of a person which used social creativity strategies to strive to be acknowledged as better with respect other members of the group, that considered her relatively inferior, even this person is not \"nobel prize material\", but has been successful in her efforts: Kim Kardashian.

She was not a real \"socialite\" but she was carefully lead by her mother, Khris, to build an image of a celebrity. Her beginnings were as part of party girls of Paris Hilton, which is a real celebrity, but as this attention was not enough, it appeared an intimate video that put her in media radar. Since then, she an d her mother took advantage of that to make shows, to give interviews, and to promote her image. Additionally, She sued to video\'s diffusers and finally obtained a lot of money and publicity.

Since then, know she is a celebrity by herself, with her own show, clothes line, everybody interest in her life, husbands, children, sisters, and so on.

Her strategies:

To convert something negative (video) in a positive value (She was a victim, she was in love, eg).

Changing the basis of comparison with others (She falls apart from Paris)

She promotes herself as a reference pattern to other groups, improving her own \"image value\"
