With the help of the Internet and TV, more people are becoming famous. Is this a positive or negative development?

#help #internet #tv #people #development
It is increasingly common for
people
 today to have their fifteen minutes of fame. The internet has provided access to a global audience and technological advances have enabled the average person to broadcast themselves professionally. I would argue that
this
 trend of ‘instant
celebrity’

 is rather detrimental to society as they promote poor values and are poorly regulated. It could be said that these celebrities are great role models to young
people
. I have found,
however
, the opposite to be the case. The majority have become famous through
reality
 shows or social media, and many of them have not reached their fame by doing something positive, but rather have been found to be acting inappropriately or disgracing themselves. A more beneficial role or new celebrities would be those with real talents or who educate the young generation. I would
also
 say that these “influencers” often set unrealistic targets for young
people
 nowadays. They often portray glamorous lifestyles and claim to have the
next
 big solution to get rich. In
reality
, many of them are simply exaggerating their status and spreading false claims. Impressionable youth often buy into their ideas and see social media stars as idols;
this
 notion is dangerous because it could distract young
people
 from more important goals
such
 as achieving good grades at school.
Finally
, the stars on
reality
 shows or social media are not regulated in the ideas they are sharing. Young students simply believe everything these famous
people
 say, without any regard for facts and it seems we are creating a society of
people
 who do not value the importance of truth or facts. To conclude, the ubiquity of famous
reality
 stars and influencers today is a highly negative trend. These
people
 generally endorsed superficiality and ignorant

 financial gain. We need to teach young
people
 that there is more to life than trying to achieve fame and that there are many more worthwhile careers in the world.
