In everyday's life, we are surrounded by many kinds of information provided by media such as television, newspaper and magazines. They include somethings about the personal lives of famous people and certainly media pay too much attention to them. I strongly believe we have a right not to hear about those information and the famous people have a right not to open their personal lives to public.
To begin with, the news about personal lives of famous people is usually just a gossip which media provide to attract or allure people for commercial purpose and it is not valuable at all. When people buy a magazine because they are interested in articles about personal lives of celebrities, they are unintentionally exposed to a plenty of advertisement which are included in the magazine. I beleive the real goal of this kind of articles is not to provide useful information to the public but to provide profitable information to attract people for more money. We have to remember one of the roles and responsibilities of media is publicity and making gossips is not belonging to them.
Besides, famous people also have a right to enjoy their personal lives. Some people say that famous people chose to be open to the public and they have to abandon personal lives because they make, usually a lot of mony based on popularity and the public want to know them. However, I do not think that means they have to be always exposed to the puplic. Just like other people who work for companies, they do their work even though it is performed in public and they have a right to take a rest peacefully and personally.
Additionally, too much attention makes trivial things to serious problems and celebrities can suffer from this news. Every human being makes mistakes. Even though it is true that famous people should be discreet in doing something, they also can make a mistake because they are also humanbeings. Media usuallygrasp this kind of personal mistakes and make it gigantic. Sometime this can lead suicide of some depressed celebrities, which is personal tragic and at the same time, can cause serious social problem.
To sum up with, I firmly beleive that media should pay less attention to personal lives of famous people because their main aim is commercial thing and it is not proper for the roles and responsibilities of media. Also too much attention can interrupt famous people's rights about perosnal lives and this interruption can lead serious social problem. | |
