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

It is a fact that some
celebrities
become more popular for their luxurious lifestyles and possessions these days rather than for their mesmerising accomplishments. To a certain extent,
this
kind of popularity tends to lead young
people
in the wrong direction.
However
, there are
also
some
celebrities
who got to the place that they are at the moment for their actions and accomplishments. On the
one
hand, some
celebrities
pursued easy ways to get famous
such
as getting married to a popular or rich person, living a fancy, shopaholic lifestyle or even doing unbelievable things and streaming live sessions.
Moreover
, it has become easier as social media platforms
such
as TikTok and

turned into a spotlight especially for those kinds of
people
. For instance, the

and hot topics of Hollywood despite the fact that not even
one
of them has a talent
such
as acting, singing or doing sports.
Additionally
, a group of TikTokers named Hype House is
such
a hit and on the tip of the tongue of every teenager these days but what they are doing are inappropriate performances, dances, partying and even breaking rules and restrictions during the pandemic.
Such
kinds of influences only aim to gain publicity and send a wrong message to the youngsters that successful life means wealth and accessories and it does not have to be meaningful.
On the contrary
, it is great to have
such
kinds of famous
people
who live with compassion and put their great efforts to gain success in life. From their perspective, a way to success is a combination of passion, hard work and strong determination. Those are the
people
who apply themselves in developing their skills and abilities through perseverance. As an example, a

boy band named BTS is nowadays among the most famous
celebrities
in
this
21st century. They came all the way from South Korea and broke amazing records
one
by
one
in a way that no South Koreans have ever done before. All the members came from rural areas of their country to Seoul and worked so hard even before their debut.
As a result
, now they’ve become a tourism ambassador of their country and worked with the United Nations to help improve the mental health of youths under the program called “Love yourself”. Due to their hard work, now, they’ve set a great example and become idols to young
people
all over the world and made those youngsters believe in themselves and their worth. In conclusion, it is true that as various types of social media platforms are being accessible these days, children are likely to be influenced by

so-called
celebrities
. Anyway, there are still some famous
people
who can make young
people
believe that their dreams could come true with hard work and passion.
Thus
, in my opinion, I think it is best if young
people
become more selective with choosing their role models.
