#people #topics
In discussing whether celebrities should express their opinions, one should bear in mind the complexity of the issue.
Although
 some people believe that famous actors and singers should not state their opinions, because they are not fully
knowledgable
highly educated; having extensive information or understanding
knowledgeable
 about these issues, I believe celebrities have the
power
 to educate and
change
 our society, and should express their thoughts. In
this
 essay I will provide examples and reasons to support my view. One
argumet

argument
 in favour of my opinion, is that celebrities are constantly watched and interviewed, a fact that allows them to reach many people worldwide.
As a result
, they have the ability to create public discussions and awareness about topics they find important.
For example

This
 example demonstrates the

 celebrities have and their

ability
 to raise public concern. Another reason to support my claim is that known people, by being proactive, can educate and

 our community. As an example, during the

 they hold.
