Some people think that the support of celebrities for international aid organisations draws attention to their causes, while others think celebrity support makes their causes seem less important. Discuss both views and give your opinion.

In today's media-driven world, the involvement of celebrities in supporting international aid organizations has become a common phenomenon.
Although

essay. On one hand, those in favour might argue that high-profile personalities garner greater support because, as a pop-culture-driven society, we are more likely to follow where the rich and famous lead. Celebrities possess a vast reach and influence through their massive fan base and media presence. Their involvement often emanates extensive media coverage, which brings the spotlight to

neglected or overlooked causes. The public's interest is piqued, leading to increased donations, volunteerism, and engagement.

On the other hand
, I hold humanity in a much higher esteem. Consider the many floods and bushfires that ravage Australia each year, people can pull together to feed, house, and clothe victims without any need for celebrity intervention.
Moreover
, there is the potential for celebrities to use a good cause to prop up their sagging careers or detract from it via the “guilty-by-association” mindset so prevalent in our still maturing collective psyche.

Support ideas with relevant, specific examples

Examples make your writing easier to understand by illustrating points more effectively.

Examples, if used properly, not only help you get higher marks for ‘Task Response’ but also for ‘Coherence’.

When giving examples it is best to put them after your main idea or topic sentence. They can be used in the middle of supporting sentences or they can be used to start a new sentence. There is no rule for where exactly to give examples in essays, logically they would come after your main idea/topic sentence or just after a supporting sentence.

Linking words for giving examples:

  • for example
  • for instance
  • to illustrate this
  • to give a clear example
  • such as
  • namely
  • to illustrate
  • take, for example
