Some people believe famous people's support towards international aid organizations draws the attention to problems, while others think celebrities make the problems less important. Discuss both views and give your opinion.

With the negative influence of famous people's bad behaviour exposing to our sight more frequently, plenty of citizens begin to doubt their support towards international
aid
organizations
.
However
, many people still believe that famous people are helpers rather than problem makers. From my point of view, international
aid
organization can attract more citizen's attention to public issue if
celebrities
give the right support and set up good images. It is sensible to argue that international charity groups can take advantage of the publicity of
celebrities
. With the announcement of high-profile figures,
such
as famous singers, movie stars and sports professionals, the activities or campaigns of international
organizations
can be responded to immediately, if they are endorsed by
celebrities
. In the early time of
this
year, ALS Ice Bucket Challenge spread around the world within a few days by the sharing of many
celebrities
. Meanwhile, the
organizations
also
received millions of donation from fans as well.
Nevertheless
, it is an undeniable fact that a small part of
celebrities
don't gain much popularity or bring and convenience to nonprofit institutions.
Although
some
celebrities
give their support to these
organizations
outwardly, they don't bring and tangible help.
For example
, some
celebrities
lead a luxurious life and never take practical actions to social problems, or even only take advantage of international
aid
organizations
to advocate for themselves.
As a result
, the public will lose confidence in these
organizations
, not to mention solving problems. To sum up, I believe international
aid
organizations
will receive much more help from
celebrities
and figure out more problems. if
celebrities
can make the right choices and their celebrity effect is used appropriately.
