Nowadays celebrities are more famous for their glamour and wealth than for their achievements, and this sets a bad example to young people. To what extent do you agree or disagree?

At present, celebrities are well-known because of the image of glamour and fortune associated with them, not because of their accomplishments, so according to some,

this

sets a bad paradigm

to

Suggestion

of

young people. In my opinion, I strongly disagree that celebrities set a bad

example

to young people as celebrities do not ask people to worship them. A good reason to not take celebrities as

role

models is that a celebrity’s

role

in society is to entertain people, not to set a moral

example

for young people.

For

example

, celebrities generally want to gain a lot of publicity and achieve fame.

Therefore

, they want always to be in the spotlight because

this

is the sole purpose of their job. To cite an

example

, a movie star in Egypt mentioned in one of his interviews that young people should think twice before imitate other’s

behaviors

manner of acting or controlling yourself

behaviours

because people always don’t pay any attention to their

behaviors

manner of acting or controlling yourself

behaviour

in public in many cases. Another point to consider is that, like everyone else, celebrities may have moral shortcomings and make the wrong life choices. Young people don’t know the concept that celebrities make mistakes like us. Due to the lack of experience that young people have, they see celebrities as positive

role

models in their life to help them to live with hope, integrity, and compassion.

As a result

, if one of their

role

models did something wrong; they blindly copy his/her action without thoroughly thinking.

For

example

, a famous football player committed suicide

last

week because of his financial worries, and

consequently

, three of his fans were trying to kill themselves by committing suicide as well.

Finally

, parents, teachers, and scientists rather than celebrities should be

role

models in our society. These people have tremendous positive effects on people’s

behaviors

manner of acting or controlling yourself

behaviour

. Young people can learn from their parents, how to be more dedicated, and how to behave responsibly in public.

Furthermore

, young people should be taught that they can be very successful and a very good person at the same time,

such

as scientists.

For instance

, Ahmed Zewail, who was awarded the Nobel Prize in Chemistry for his work in

femtochemistry

, should be taken as a positive

role

model for our children.

Moreover

, teachers, scientists, and parents are needed to compensate for the lack of positive

role

models among politicians and business people. In conclusion, while celebrities are responsible for their actions and they did not ask young people to take them as

role

models, there are some people ought to be taken as a moral

example

such

as scientists and parents.
