Celebrity status in the contemporary world is a term given to anyone who has achieved 15 minutes of fame or more recognition. It is noticeable that several of them have come and go, but only some could sustain. I agree with the point that it is somewhat true that the achievements of a famous person do not match up to their stature. But, at the same time,we cannot completely undermine the list of accolades received by those who deserved it thoroughly.
Nowadays the majority of celebrities have a disproportional representation from music or movie industry, as the popularity status is indiscriminately forced upon ones who are famous for looks alone,
as top-models and tv presenters, or those who come out as winners from reality tv shows. Talent and accomplishments are rarely a part of the celebrity equation, and their success stems more from luck and society’s readiness to accept them with a dignitary prominence on even mediocre rather than any real talent.

individuals earned their position in society through sheer hard work and perseverance. They had to be truly outstanding and exhibit genius-level performance to attain the recognition as a celebrity.

position.
In conclusion, instant fame from reality TV and talent shows are becoming increasingly popular. Individuals without substantial talent are enjoying celebrity position, thereby encouraging others to follow suit.
