Nowadays，young people are admiring media and sports stars, even though they do not set a good example. Do you think this is a positive or negative development?

It has become an increasing trend for adolescents to treat media and sports stars as their role models, largely influenced by the widespread pop culture around the world.

However

, considering the implications on the worldview of the

youngsters

,

this

development can only be seen as detrimental.

To begin

with, the fact that the majority of celebrities are in the entertainment industry indicates that their appearance contributes primarily to their reputation, resulting in young people focusing more on their own outlook

instead

of other traits,

such

as personality and intelligence.

,

youngsters

may be misled by the industry, believing that they can get a reputation and fortune as long as they become beautiful.

from wrong.

this

is particularly the case when they are in need of the

right

guidance. In conclusion, the popularity of pop culture has given much attention to the celebrities in entertainment industry. It brings drawbacks to the development of

youngsters

in terms of shaping the

right

code of ethics. More healthy and righteous values ought to be emphasized to ensure the next generation is on the

right

way.
