  Barack Obama,Lady Gaga and Steve Jobs―what do they have in com?mon? They are,of course,all Americans. And according to a survey by social networking site badoo. com,they all best illustrate (說(shuō)明) the word "cool".

  But just what does it mean to say someone is "cool"? Most would answer that it is something to do with being independentminded and not following the crowd.

  Yale University art professor Robert Farris Thompson says that the term "cool" goes back to the fifteenthcentury West African philosophy (哲學(xué)) . "Cool" relates to ideas of grace (優(yōu)雅) under pressure.

  "In Africa," he writes, "coolness is a positive quality which combines calmness,silence,and life. w

  The modern idea of "cool" developed largely in the US in the period after World War H . "Postwar cool" was in part an expression of warweariness (厭戰(zhàn)情緒) .

  "It went against the strict social rules of the time," write sociologists Dick Pountain and David Robins in Cool Rules -.Anatomy of an Attitude.

  But it was the American actor James Dean who became the symbol for "cool" in the hugely successful 1955 movie Rebel Without a Cause. Dean played a tough guy who disobeyed his parents and the authorities. He always got the girl,smoked cigarettes,wore a leather jacket and beat up bullies (欺凌弱小者) .In the movie,Dean showed what " cool" would mean to American young people for the next 60 years.

  Today the focus of "cool" has changed to athletic (體育運(yùn)動(dòng)的) stars. Of?ten in movies about schools,students gain popularity on the athletic field more than in the classroom. This can be seen quite clearly in movies like Varsity Blues and John Tucker Must Die.

But many teenagers also think being smart is cool. Chess and other think?ing games have been becoming more popular in schools.

  "Call it the Harry Potterization of America~ a time when being smart is the new ' cool' ”, writes journalist Joe Sunnen.
