Famous people sometimes give their opinion on public topics. Is this a good thing ? Explain to what extent do you agree or disagree ?

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

a fact or assertion offered as evidence that something is true

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

, U2 lead singer talked substantially about the civil war in Ireland during the 90's. Due to the heavy media coverage he

recieved

conforming to the established language usage of educated native speakers

received

as a famous singer, the issue quickly became a

world-wide

public discussion which helped

the conflict.

This

example demonstrates the

power

celebrities have and their

bility

the quality of being able to perform; a quality that permits or facilitates achievement or accomplishment

ability

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

change

our community. As an example, during the

created the

"Love Festival" to celebrate peace, rather than violent. His action assisted in teaching the people about understanding and acceptance, which promoted peace talks between the rival parties.

This

demonstrates that

done by celebrities can positively

our community. In conclusion, I maintain that famous people should express their feelings and thoughts. More so, they should use their

power

in order to

change

and educate our society for the good. I believe

this

is the true

power

they hold.
