IELTS WRITING TASK 2 - AGREE/ DISAGREE - HARSHITH REDDY

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

It is a widely beleived fact a major percentange of celebrities these days are merely highlighted for their glamour and wealth rather than their professional acheivements and talents. This leads to arguments that flaunting luxurious lifestyles will set negative examples on young minds. Although I agree with the fact that, famous personalities influence their audience, I also beleive that they cannot be held responsible for their behaviour and there are there are other personalities who are solely broadcasted for their work. In the following stanzas i will cite reasons for the same. 

With recent advancements in technology, there has been a drastic boom in publicity platforms and the public interaction with their stars has become very effortless. People's interest in private lifes of celebrities has grown and media cashes on this very point. Any action done by them is put under a microscope and even the smallest of mistakes are highlighted. After all even we dont live in a utopian world and everyone tends to make mistakes. The problem arises when younger generations blindly follow them without thinking about the repercussions. Many star-struck teenagers are ready to do just about anything to make money, so that they can have the extravagant lifestyle. This problem can further be led back to the parenting they received. 

On the other hand, there are celebrities who are popular for their incredible acts or outstanding performance. These people have shown to the world that they have reached success due to strong determination and sheer hard work, and the public always recognise them for their masterpiece of arts and great achievements. An example is the actor and martial artist Jackie Chan, who has become world famous through years of practice and hard work. This kind of self-made celebrity can inspire children to develop their talents through application and perseverance.

To conclude, while it is true that celebrities influence young people, it is wrong to blame them for the wrong doings of their followers. In my opinion, I think the public should be more selective in choosing their role models, look at the positive side of things and not supposed to blindly imitate others.
