Decent Essays
I think in the article "Can Fame and Fortune Make People Happy" by Mackenzie Carro Fame can not make people happy. Fame cant make people happy because of the stress and anxiety that it causes them. This causes anxiety for the celebrity because most cant walk out the door are even walk there dog without being surrounded by pres or being tweeted or Instagramed. This causes a lot for a celebrity which cases stress. They become stress from people being up in their face almost every day without getting a little or no time for there self. They can also become stress of countless hours of work that they quit during movies. Celebrities cant become happy from this because even though they make they a lot of money true hppines comes from spending time
