Nowadays widely known influencers tend to
discuss more frequently about a particular matter that is happening
internationally and some people insist that this leads to more people
acknowledging on such issue, whereas the others disagree with this phenomenon.
Some people opine that even though
well-known individuals advocate certain issues arising in international
associations, people are less likely to be interested in it. In general, rather
than the actual problem, the public has been more attentive towards the attractiveness
of celebrities. Thus, the actual ramifications which a celebrity has spotted
will gradually be downplayed by many others. Besides, just because a widely known
person speaks for a particular news, it is does not always gets the spotlight. A
vast majority of people should already have a certain degree of background
knowledge on similar issues in order fully understand the problem in the first
place.
Nevertheless, I believe that as long as a
person who is known worldwide highlights towards a topical issue, the attention
of the public will be coupled alongside it. If famous actors or artists
initiate and promote about a problem, their fans or people who admire them as a
role model are more drawn to the issue, resulting a cascade effect to the
general public. To give an example, Leonardo Decarprio, one of the popular actors
in America, is known to give influential speech about detrimental issues that
trigger deterioration of the environment. The frequent exposure of such sayings
has raised awareness among his fans and people worldwide to such environmental
problems and even donated a substantive sum of money to a variety of environmental
organizations every year.
To conclude, although the influence of the
celebrities and well-known individuals may be favored over the issue they are
highlighting, I believe that the action of such people will have a snowball
effect from their advocates and all the way to the people in general.
