Nowadays celebrities are more famous for their glamour and wealth than for their achievements, and this sets a bad example to young people. To what extent do you agree or disagree? v.2
Nowadays celebrities are more famous for their glamour and wealth than for their achievements, and this sets a bad example to young people. v. 2
At present, celebrities are well-known because of the image of glamour and fortune associated with them, not because of their accomplishments, so according to some, this sets a bad paradigm to young people. In my opinion, I strongly disagree that celebrities set a bad example to young people as celebrities do not ask people to worship them.
A good reason to not take celebrities as role models is that a celebrity’s role in society is to entertain people, not to set a moral example for young people. For example, celebrities generally want to gain a lot of publicity and achieve fame. Therefore, they want always to be in the spotlight because this is the sole purpose of their job. To cite an example, a movie star in Egypt mentioned in one of his interviews that young people should think twice before imitate other’s behaviors because people always don’t pay any attention to their behaviors in public in many cases.
Another point to consider is that, like everyone else, celebrities may have moral shortcomings and make the wrong life choices. Young people don’t know the concept that celebrities make mistakes like us. Due to the lack of experience that young people have, they see celebrities as positive role models in their life to help them to live with hope, integrity, and compassion. As a result, if one of their role models did something wrong; they blindly copy his/her action without thoroughly thinking. For example, a famous football player committed suicide last week because of his financial worries, and consequently, three of his fans were trying to kill themselves by committing suicide as well.
Finally, parents, teachers, and scientists rather than celebrities should be role models in our society. These people have tremendous positive effects on people’s behaviors. Young people can learn from their parents, how to be more dedicated, and how to behave responsibly in public. Furthermore, young people should be taught that they can be very successful and a very good person at the same time, such as scientists. For instance, Ahmed Zewail, who was awarded the Nobel Prize in Chemistry for his work in femtochemistry, should be taken as a positive role model for our children. Moreover, teachers, scientists, and parents are needed to compensate for the lack of positive role models among politicians and business people.
In conclusion, while celebrities are responsible for their actions and they did not ask young people to take them as role models, there are some people ought to be taken as a moral example such as scientists and parents.
At present,
celebrities
are well-known
because
of the image of glamour and fortune associated with them, not
because
of their accomplishments,
so
according to
some
, this sets a
bad
paradigm to
young
people
. In my opinion, I
strongly
disagree that
celebrities
set a
bad
example
to
young
people
as
celebrities
do not ask
people
to worship them.
A
good
reason to not take
celebrities
as
role
models
is that a
celebrity’s
role
in society is to entertain
people
, not to set a moral
example
for
young
people
. For
example
,
celebrities
generally
want to gain
a lot of
publicity and achieve fame.
Therefore
, they
want always
to be in the spotlight
because
this is the sole purpose of their job. To cite an
example
, a movie star in Egypt mentioned in one of his interviews that
young
people
should
think
twice
before
imitate other’s behaviors
because
people
always don’t pay any attention to their behaviors in public in
many
cases.
Another point to consider is that, like everyone else,
celebrities
may have moral shortcomings and
make
the
wrong
life choices.
Young
people
don’t know the concept that
celebrities
make
mistakes like us. Due to the lack of experience that
young
people
have, they
see
celebrities
as
positive
role
models
in their life to
help
them to
live
with hope, integrity, and compassion.
As a result
, if one of their
role
models
did something
wrong
; they
blindly
copy his/her action without
thoroughly
thinking. For
example
, a
famous
football player committed suicide last week
because
of his financial worries, and
consequently
, three of his fans were trying to kill themselves by committing suicide
as well
.
Finally
,
parents
, teachers, and
scientists
rather
than
celebrities
should be
role
models
in our society. These
people
have tremendous
positive
effects on
people’s
behaviors.
Young
people
can learn from their
parents
, how to be more dedicated, and how to behave
responsibly
in public.
Furthermore
,
young
people
should
be taught
that they can be
very
successful and a
very
good
person at the same time, such as
scientists
.
For instance
, Ahmed
Zewail
, who
was awarded
the Nobel Prize in Chemistry for his work in
femtochemistry
, should
be taken
as a
positive
role
model
for our children.
Moreover
, teachers,
scientists
, and
parents
are needed
to compensate for the lack of
positive
role
models
among politicians and business
people
.
In conclusion
, while
celebrities
are responsible for their
actions and
they did not ask
young
people
to take them as
role
models
, there are
some
people
ought to
be taken
as a moral
example
such as
scientists
and
parents
.
