Band 4.5

Are famous people treated unfairly by the media? Should they be given more privacy, or is the price of their fame an invasion into their private life? Discuss both these views and give your own opinion.

#people #media #privacy #price #fame #invasion #life
Different people hold different point of view regarding the way
media
Suggestion
the media
 treat famous personalities, specifically in terms of coverage of their private lives. I strongly believe that the media should refrain itself from breaching the
privacy
 of notable personalities & I will provide suitable reasoning to support my stand. To
further
 strengthen my position, light on the other
view point
a mental position from which things are viewed
viewpoint
 will
also
 be shed along with discussing its faults.
Firstly
, it should be noted that
privacy
 is equally needed by everyone. For me
privacy
 is our right & cannot be compromised in any way. In my opinion, media nowadays fail to draw
line
Suggestion
the line
a line
lines
 between private & social life. It greatly confuses the two and the result is obnoxious, unethical, spiced up news. Taking the example of the latest news hype about a Pakistani actress wearing western clothes & smoking with an Indian star; the act itself is very personal but media of both countries didn’t fail to fully cover it and make a fuss out of it. It can be easily estimated that 40% of news influx is related to private matters of celebrities and
this
 needs to change. They use it to increase their channel rankings & get maximum
viewership
.
On the other hand
, there is a school of thought that believes that fame comes for a certain price &
that is
 to sacrifice your
privacy
. They are comfortable with
media breaching
Suggestion
the media breaching privacy
privacy
 of celebrities as they are of the opinion that a celebrity becomes a national asset & is the bearer of national culture. I again, condemn
this
 thought & believes that it is unethical to poke around into
private matters
Suggestion
the private matters
 of anyone. Concluding, I want to say that line must be drawn between a celebrity’s private & social life & media should avoid invading their lives, as
privacy
 is our psychological need. It is not an acceptable trend to use
such
 news for increased channel ratings.
