▶ Your Answer : Recently, as all traces of life could get
documented online and almost all the people in the world have camera on their
cell phone, invasion of privacy is rampant. Without consent of subjects, their
private life can be exposed to public. In addition, the public equipped with
many media to present their views, they are likely to slander other people when
their flaws are publicized. As a result, just one spot in the past days might
ravage someone’s reputation in society. However, as these trend getting worse, many
people are getting tired of condemning others and sometimes undisturbed by the
public calumny on public person. Furthermore, on the other side, the difficulty
of keeping virtuous reputation render people who survived as a living deity in
the world.
Nowadays
with propagation of Social Media Services(SNS), many activities leave trace on
internet. Besides, generalization of smartphone and development of IT enabled
archiving of enormous amount of information online. As a consequence, people
having easy access to internet are exposed to a lot of information on public figures
and sometimes discover their flaws, which debase their reputation. For example,
some actors lose their prominence because of some delinquencies they committed when
they were teenagers. The public who applauded and lionized them just a week ago
denounce them all day and sometimes require to media company that they do not
show up on media anymore. That is to say, unless the public figure is a perfect,
innocent and sacrosanct person, it is hard to persist the esteem on him.
However,
on the other side, owing to those behaviors nowadays, people are getting sick
of reproaching others and pursuing of thoroughly innocent people. They became
lethargic of the society rife with hatred. As a result, they only focus on the
public figures’ activity related to their profession and evaluate them
according to competence in the field of their vocation. Therefore, the public
figure, if they have minute spots, they can perpetuate their reputation as long
as they do good in their professional field. For example, Korean actor byun
heon Lee, though a media exposed that he had cheated on his spouse, is revered
as an actor and all the rookie actors also venerate him.
In
summation, though it became hard to maintain consistent noble reputation, It is
not uncommon to find people who are regarded as a hero or heroine in their
field. |
