Nowadays, young people admire sports stars though they often do not set a good example. Do you think this is a positive or negative development?
Sample 1:
The admiration young people hold for celebrities is not a new phenomenon. Throughout/During history, youths have been inspired by people with outstanding athletic ability. It is argued that this admiration brings with it more positive than negative issues/ramifications. This will be proven by looking at how sports figures both instill inspiration and teach life lessons to young people.
Firstly, celebrities often display extremely developed skills, which can help to spur young people towardsbeing/a life full of physically active. For instance, school children are often driven to exercise in an attempt to become/emulate superstars, such as Sachin Tendulkar, Li Na and Kobe Bryant. As this additional exercise is good for their health, it is difficult to argue that the inspiration celebritiesbestow/leave upon young people is entirely a bad thing. Thus, this shows that the admiration people hold for sports stars has positive implications/reasons.
Although the negative character figures/traits of many sports celebrities are often called into question, it is felt the public mistakes professional athletes make can act as good morality lessons for young people. A good exhibition/image of this occurred when Canadian runner Ben Johnson dishonourably lost an Olympic gold medal due to steroid use. This incident showed young people around the world that drug use is a shameful practice. As this example illustrates/is shown, often the public errors athletes commit can act as good lessons for adolescents.
After looking at the above, it is felt to hold athletes in esteem does not bring with it entirely negative consequences. It is assumed the historical admiration people will retain/retain for sports stars is not going to change into the foreseeable future.
Sample 2:
In the modern society, youngsters often look up to well-known entertainers and athletes. Many people believe that these celebrities are not good role models for young individuals. Thus, they are concerned about the influence of such admiration. From my perspective, whether that idolisation is beneficial or detrimental depends merely on the young generation's attitudes.
On the one hand, youngsters' adoration towards celebrities can bring about several positive effects to themselves. First of all, individuals who are selective will filter out all the negative characteristics and only opt for good traits in famous figures to emulate. This consciousness ensures that adolescents will not blindly reduplicate improper actions from celebrities. For example, even though singer Michael Jackson was involved in several allegations, his talent, perseverance and work ethic still inspire many youngsters around the world. Secondly, teenagers can also take valuable lessons from their idols' mistakes. Since celebrities' actions are often publicized, adolescents have the opportunities to observe various examples of misconducts and learn from them. For instance, upon hearing the doping accusation of Louis Armstrong, many of the biker's fans realize that there is no shortcut which leads to success and honesty should be of paramount importance.
On the second hand, idolizing entertainers and sportsmen may result in adverse effects. To begin with, since most adolescents are malleable, bad examples from celebrities can develop moral issues in them. Many teenagers who look up to Hollywood figures such as Paris Hilton believe that they should pursue a glamorous, material life with parties and nightclubs. Other celebrities like Kim Kardashian present a wrong message to the young generation, suggesting that using scandals and PR stunts are the most effective methods to gain attention and be successful. Furthermore, there are considered to be better role models for the young to hold in high regards, such as activists or philanthropists. However, the popularity of celebrities may sway teenagers' interest away from these individuals. To be more specific, many teenagers do not care much about politics and other social issues since their attention is solely devoted to entertaining figures.
All things considered, I believe that the adoration which youngsters dedicate to media and sports stars have both strengths and weaknesses. While this admiration allows youngsters to emulate celebrities' good traits and draw a lesson from their mishaps, it also develops moral issues in them and takes the spotlight away from the more deserving role models.
Sample 3:
Hero worship is in our blood. In this day and age, media and sports personalities are the heroes. They are everywhere – on the billboards, in the newspapers, on TV and internet. This omnipresence has earned them widespread fame and millions of fans who try to imitate everything that they do. Is this a positive development? Let's examine.
Admiring film and sports personalities is nothing unusual but unfortunately it isn't always good. A large number of our celebrities don't set good examples. Many of them are known for their extravagant and wasteful lifestyles. They don't mind spending millions of dollars on shopping. They wear expensive designer garments and drive super luxury cars. They earn millions of dollars every year so it doesn't really matter to them. Unfortunately, they inspire middle class people, who can hardly afford this, to adopt the same life style.
Wafer thin models promote unhealthy eating habits. Anorexia has become a major health issue these days. Models and film stars who look nearly perfect because of Photoshop effects have given rise to a generation obsessed with looking perfect. Even extramarital relationships are now considered perfectly acceptable because several celebrities have multiple partners.
Celebrities are human beings too and they have their own weaknesses. Just because they happen to excel in a particular field, we can't expect them to be paragons of virtue. They are influential people and it would be great if they can be good role models, but the truth is that that is where most of them fail.
On the other hand, we do have something to learn from these famous people. They are achievers. Many of them had humble beginnings. Still, they rose to fame because of their determination and hard work. We can also achieve the same if we make a sincere attempt.
After analyzing the situation, it is not hard to see that admiring and imitating film and sports personalities who do not set a good example is bad. Simply admiring them is alright. The problem begins when you try to imitate everything that they do.
Sample 4:
Celebrities and sport stars are considered as the main influence and inspiration on the youth in the 21th century. In fact, many of them are not qualified to become a role model for youngsters but they still spread their lifestyle to young people all over the world. Personally, i think that this might be an adverse improvement in our modern society.
One serious problem that can arise from teenagers who try to follow their idol activities is sometimes they can acquire many unfavorable gestures and behaviors accidentally through their idol scandal or daily routines. As a result, youngster could start imitating celebrities manner which might bring some negative effect on their daily life due to their weak awareness and judgement. For instance, some famous singers such as justin bieber used to consume drugs in his vacation which shock not only his parents but also his fans. Even though this is a shameful act that could destroy his career, long-time young fan still believe what he did is cool and begin to use illegal substances.
In my opinion, there are many other individuals in other field that could be a better model. Many soldiers or doctors should recieve more respect from our community especially teenagers because they are already some great heros with huge contribution to our society. I suggest that the youth should rethink about what basic requirement of a person to admire to make the best decision instead of focusing on famous ones. In my peripheral view, an ideal idol should not only be rich and in public eyes but also more importantly have some good personalities such as passion, persistence and courage.
In conclusion, I think that the youth should notice their idol personality to choose to become a fan or not also there are many great leaders and citizens in other fields should be appreciated from youngsters.
