▶ Your Answer :
Some people might say that the importance
of celebrities’ opinions are the same to both younger people and older people.
They believe that the opinions come to be different according to individual
acceptance. However, in my opinion, the opinions of famous people are more
important to younger people than older people. There are two reasons for my statement.
First of all, most youngsters are in a
process of establishing their own value and lifestyle. In this process, other’s
opinion can have a huge influence on an establishment of the personalities. The
department of education in Republic of Korea surveyed 1,000 adults in order to
determine whether or not an environment in teenager affects one’s value and
lifestyle. In early ages, 400 participants have grown an environment where a
majority of people is poor and crimes are widespread, while the rest of
participants have lived in areas where people are well-educated and rich. The
former participants were assessed to have a negative thinking way and live
unhappy lives, but the latter people seemed to think positively at any times
and live happy lives.
Also, young people are more likely to
follow other’s opinions than older people. This is because they tend to be less
reasonable but more emotional, resulting in their weak identities. As an
example, I will refer to my personal experience. When I worked at a high school
as a teacher, I was captured by a thought that people should study a history
hard. I tried to share this opinion with other people. I thought it was easier
to spread my opinion to my students than to my coworkers and other old people.
In this regard, young people are easy to follow opinions of other people.
To sum up, young people are mostly
developing their own values and lifestyles at that time and they have a
tendency to follow other’s opinion easily. For these reasons, I think the
opinions of famous people are more important to younger people than older people.
