Nowadays celebrities are more famous for their glamour and wealth than for their achievements, and this sets a bad example to young people. To what extent do you agree or disagree with this statement?

Nowadays, most

celebrities

are more known for their glamorous

lifestyles

rather than their achievements.

Thus

, a segment of society is convinced that these

celebrities

become bad role models to the younger generation. I personally do not agree with

this

opinion because they have little or no impact on our lives. The following paragraphs will highlight my opinion along with relevant examples. To commence with, a celebrity's job is to entertain

people

and not to set a moral

example

. It is clear to everyone that stars are not teachers, they are not objects to worship.

Therefore

, children and adults understand that the luxury

lifestyles

they depict are only for entertainment purposes. Take,

for

example

, Lady Gaga. She is known for her extravagant outfits and glamorous lifestyle.

However

, it does not mean that her fans will take her as a role model.

This

is because

people

, even the younger ones, perceive

celebrities

through the prism of their culture and surroundings. Adding

further

, children are more influenced by the

people

they are surrounded with. To be more specific, the major influencers are teachers, parents and

friends

. So if a child has

friends

or family members having a luxury lifestyle,

then

he or she will be inclined to glamour.

As a result

, they will be interested in videos about the glamorous

lifestyles

of stars.

For

example

, my

friends

at school were more interested in studying and travelling. Thereby, I had no interest in the lifestyle of

celebrities

, I did not even know about them. To conclude, I believe that

celebrities

do not set a negative

example

for younger

people

. Children may be inclined to glamorous

lifestyles

as a result

of their

friends

' influence.
