In the last few decades there have been more and more cases of famous people being hounded by the press. Some people think that famous people in the media have no right to privacy. To what extent do you agree or disagree?

In the digital era, social

media

allows

people

to be easily connected. The same applies to

celebrities

: the line between the public and private spheres is blurred.

Further

, it is argued among

people

in the society whether

celebrities

have the

right

to

privacy

. For a variety of reasons, which will be outlined in the following paragraphs, I personally disagree with that point of view. Many

people

are convinced that

celebrities

have no

right

to

privacy

; the

celebrities

earn a large amount of money by sacrificing their

privacy

.

In other words

, famous

people

could easily earn money by posting a picture on Instagram. It may seem like easy work to do;

however

, the cost of it is losing their own

privacy

.

On the other hand

,

celebrities

are

also

people

-- just like everyone else. The

right

to

privacy

must apply equally to every

people

, without prejudice. Whether they are famous or not, the

media

must respect their

privacy

. There must be a clear line between

celebrities

’ working sphere and private sphere.

For instance

, the

media

could interview or taking pictures of

celebrities

when they are at events, but the

media

could not go and hound the

celebrities

while they are having dinner with their family.

That is

to say, the press must not intrude on

celebrities

’ private sphere.

Hence

, I strongly disagree with

this

statement, since I believe that everyone has the

right

to

privacy

: no exception. To conclude,

celebrities

are human;

thus

, their human rights shall be respected.

Therefore

, based on the reasons given in the foregoing paragraph, I firmly disagree with the statement.
