▶ Your Answer :
The seemingly glamorous life of celebrities sometimes bestows greater credit on what they are talking. Younger generations are relatively more susceptible to the sayings than older people. There are two reasons: the place their sayings are presented and the overall characteristics of different generations. To begin with, it is better to look into a general trend of today's culture. Most of works and activities of those celebrities are presented on different forms of Social Network Service (SNS), including Twitter, Instagram, and YouTube. A generation that accounts for the biggest portion of SNS usage is under 30. not older people over 50. As aforementioned, for considerable parts of the celebrities opinion and works are uploaded through SNS, many older generation must be excluded by the influences of such opinion. Their ordinary reception of information is from newspaper and at most TV. These mediums cannot adopt fast-changing opinions of the celebrities of today. For example, my mom who just turned 54 does not know who Cardi B is and why she fought with Niki Minaj. As the generation does not receive such information, the possibility that they are influenced by things happened on SNS is astonishingly small. Secondly, older people knows better than younger generation that those opinions of the celebrities are usually useless when managing and keeping one's life. Young people are more susceptible to the opinions of the celebrities because they seemed fabulous. However, the life is not just about shining dresses and new I-Phone XS. Instead, it is about how to grasp one's integrity, how to get along with family and friends. Older people understand the importance of the latter, because they lived through many challenges. Moreover, they invested their own time to figure out which factor is more important in one's life: a spectacular gems worn by a famous actress or a small necklace given by their children. Younger generation, however, neither experience the challenges the elders faced nor got through great amount of time to reflect essential things in their life. Thus, the opinions of the celebrities become more important to the younger people. Regarding these reasons that the opinions of celebrities are often presented by SNS where old people are excluded and they know those are not integral to the life, I consider that the opinions are more important to young people. Those are much more influential to younger generation.
