Many people believe that media coverage of celebrities is having a negative effect on children. To what extent do you agree?

Celebrities

are talented

artists

often seen on television and even on social

media

like Instagram, Facebook, and Twitter. Many argue that these

artists

from the showbiz industry have a negative influence on young individuals. I totally disagree with the above statement.

Children

are great imitators, they tend to act just like how their favourite celebrity does whether in a good way or a bad way. To exemplify,

children

burden their parents to buy trendy clothes just to look like their idols and if they do not get what they want they tend to manifest unacceptable demeanour like having tantrums or screaming inappropriate words.

Hence

, parents suffer from financial and emotional torture, especially if

this

happens frequently.

Although

there are some negative effects of

media

coverage of

celebrities

, there are

also

tremendous advantages.

Firstly

,

artists

being seen by young individuals on television and even on social

media

can be a good source of inspiration.

Children

become happier and energize when they see their Idols, they tend to imitate them not just the way they dress but

also

when it comes to their talents like dancing,

for instance

.

As a result

, young people are more encouraged to hone their talents or acquire talents at an early age.

Secondly

,

artists

can save people's mental health, especially during

this

pandemic.

For example

, the entertainment brought by

celebrities

on social

media

and even by merely appearing on TV can brighten someone's day, especially that many individuals including the young ones are suffering from psychological problems like anxieties, high levels of stress due to uncertainty, and profound sadness which really affects their daily lives. In conclusion,

although

some would say that

media

coverage of

celebrities

has an awful effect on young

children

. I strongly believe that showbiz personnel is of great influence when it comes to entertainment especially today.
