Mass media has been developed markedly so everyone gets information and news from the media whenever they want. At the center of the media, there' re always star since people meet them in wide range of genre such as tv show, movie, and play. So media focuses on their personal lives naturally as people get interested in.
First of all, Media invades their privacy since people can tell them when they appear in public place such as restaurant, sauna, health club or so. People tend to gather around them even if celebrities have individual rights to enjoy their own time.So concentrating too much about one celebrities life can cause the serious social problems.
For example, A lot of TV stars committed suicide because of the excessive attention they had received from people. It was even hard for them to go store to buy something. Because as people spotted them, they took picture of celebrities and spread them on the internet. Not only that, lots of fans are likely to follow tv stars as their schedule. So they don't even get their own private space.
In addition, since media mainly focuses on public figure's lives, many people are unaware about the issue of society. For anyone it's really important to knowledge about things going. But Most of people are likely to get interested in star's lives and stories than Social problem.
To illustrate my point, These days large portion of students don't even watch news or read the newspaper to see the current issues. However they're all familiar about TV show's stars and they even know about their birthday, height, age or even their addresses. So in school, they have conversation mainly about the entertainment in media. It seems to be very regret according to students favorable topics to discuss.
In all these consideration, Media takes too much attention to public figures and celebrities since it intrude their private lives. Also it even make people be indifferent about their social matters. |
