Role Model Celebrities Essay

Should Celebrities Be Role Models Why or Why Not? Teenagers are well known for having an opinion on what they like and dislike in the world today. Celebrities have a huge influence on the youth of our generation. They are not just known for their movies, albums, and good looks, but they are also known for their infamous criminal records. Many believe that celebrities have a positive influence on teens because of their charity events for the causes they support, but these same naive people tend to forget about the long list of undesirable acts these same celebrities have committed. Celebrities should not be considered role models because of their constant illegal behavior, non-personal connection that they would have with teens, and the many detrimental self-esteem issues that they would cause. Celebrities have it all: fame, fortune, gorgeous appearances, but what some do not have, is a clean criminal record. One example “was the video release of Baltimore Ravens running back Ray Rice knocking his fiancee unconscious in an elevator” (“Why Athletes Should Never be Role Models For Kids”). This physical abuse is not only wrong, but unacceptable for one who is as famous as a professional athlete. Is it okay that today’s celebrities are abusing…

Who is your role model? Is it a upbeat positive celebrity like Taylor Swift , Ellen DeGeneres or Johnny Deep? Or is it a stone cold celebrity like Kanye West , Kim Kardashian or Miley Cyrus.

Everyone Should be Treated Equal by the Justice System We have all seen and read about how celebrities are treated in regards to crime, such as; OJ Simpson, Lindsay Lohan and Justin Bieber, but do they get off too easy?

emphasis on the importance of role models. In fact, a majority of us have had a role model at one time or another. For young children, it's quite common to idolize a particular person or television character. We allow our idols to dictate our life, our behavior, what we wear, and even our thoughts. Children often display their appreciation through copying their behavior, regardless of whether or not they understand their idol's behavior. Would Leonardo from the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles…

outlets portray celebrities to young people, but electronics play a part as well; music being the key factor. Music that a celebrity creates also influences a teen’s behavior. If one were to listen to an artist whose music is full of profanity and vulgar language, more than likely that teen will follow what that artist is promoting. For example, a lot of young girls today look up to the musician Nicki Minaj; some even think of her as the hip hop version of Lady Gaga, another well known teen…

I think that the entertainment industry has a bad influence on the youth today. A lot of our youth consider too many "celebrities" as the role model and would do just about anything they do just to be like them.

is their role model. Many of these people are children and teens so because of this people think that it is the sports teams responsibility to hold players to a higher standard for their personal conduct. It is the sports teams responsibility because of the power athletes can have in a society and the image of the team and the game they can create.
