Young people are highly influenced by famous people and they look up to them as role models. Is that a positive or negative development?
It is a well-known fact that, from childhood, most of us were influenced by parents to look up to famous
people
as role models, and this
will continue even though they became teenagers or adolescents. Most of the time these role models were Artists, Scientists or leaders of religion. However
,there are good and bad sides to this
so I am hoping to discuss those and I am going to give my opinion as well.
Firstly
, by taking others as examples, although
he is extremely successful in his life, it may affect badly for younger people
. For example
, if imitating others, could demolish the real personality. Moreover
, nowadays a popular marketing strategy is showing famous people
in commercial advertisements, which can inspire the younger crowd to attract some of the products, even if consequences are depraving. Furthermore
, the lawful behaviour of celebrities
may cause damage to society, if the adolescents do not try to figure out the moral issues that are going to develop by following
everything.

On the other hand
, there is positivity towards youngsters by following celebrities
. When considering some famous sportsmen, they can influence in a good way to develop the life and moral among teenagers. One good example is Cristiano Ronaldo’s life story. Society can get many examples of how he grew up with his mom, while born in a poor family and became the most paying football player by developing his strengths. However
, the popularity of sportsmen and other celebrities
may condense the interest away from people
like Politicians and Activists. To be more precise, youngsters do not care much about politics and other social issues since their attention is devoted to sports, cinema and other entertaining activities.
In a conclusion, I believe that there are strengths and weaknesses of following celebrities
but parents and adults also
have a responsibility to keep the attention on who are the people
their kids are following and taking examples.Submitted by susithapb on
