Being a celebrity - such as a famous film star or sports personality - brings problems as well as benefits. Do you think that being a celebrity has more benefits or more problems?
Fame
and its impact on the lifestyle of celebrities
fascinate many people. Because of this
, stories about them help to sell thousands of newspapers and magazines. However
, the benefits of fame
are not without their challenges.
There are clear advantages to being famous. The images presented in the media
show us celebrities
enjoying an enviable lifestyle: they live in huge mansions, drive expensive cars, and wear the latest in high fashion. Thus
, fame
clearly brings great wealth. In addition
, their frequent appearances in the media
mean that celebrities
have an influence that extends beyond their professional skills. This
influence stems from the fact that young people want to be like them, and so the famous can earn even more money by endorsing different products and brands. Although
just being in the spotlight may be rewarding, the main benefits of popularity appear to be financial and material.
Nevertheless
, this
level of fame
also
has its problems. The ability to influence others and the notion of fame
itself are both dependent on appearing in the media
on a regular basis, which means that celebrities
have very little privacy. The same media
that creates their fame
is also
very happy to share stories that are less positive. In fact, it could be argued that negative stories sell more newspapers or attract more clicks than any other. This
puts an enormous amount of pressure not only on the individuals concerned but also
on the people close to them. As a result
, their relationships and family life suffer. Clearly, the fortune that stems from fame
comes at a substantial personal cost.
In summary, although
there are clear financial benefits to being famous, there are also
enormous personal challenges. In my view, the constant media
attention is far too intrusive, and the loss of privacy is much too high a price to pay for the financial rewards.Submitted by arastoo_2731 on
