感谢大家提的意见,这是我大改后呕心沥血之作,虽然还是很一般啦。。。。。修改时间居然比我写的时间还长什么,ft
29 Public figures such as actors, politicians, and athletes should expect people to be interested in their private lives. When they seek a public role, they should expect that they will lose at least some of their privacy.
Admittedly, the public are strongly interested in public figures' private lives, such as their marriages, love affairs, or even their costume. There is a trend that many celebrities have a strong criticism for the overcuriosity of their privacy, since they are disturbed by the situation that their privacy is more or less open to the whole society without any secrets. In my point of view, I agree with the speaker that when public figures seek to be famous, they should anticipate that some of their privacy will be under the eyesight of the public.
There is a contradiction between with individual privacy and public awareness. On the one hand, people have a strong desire to know others’ activities, especially those of the celebrities. It is a public psychology that inspires mass media, including some tabloids, to report the private lives of celebrities. On the other hand, celebrities consider that they do not have the obligation to let their privacy uncover, so they should not sacrifice privacy.At first glance, this opinion seems to be somewhat convincing, but further reflection tells me that I can not agree with it for following reasons.
When it comes to politicians, universally believed, politicians are responsible for their voters whom vote and support them to govern the country. Though,to ordinary people, some of their privacy are their personal affairs, to them, as a politician, their privacy should be more or less open to every voter, because maybe some of their privacy may influence the development and security of country. Former French president Mitterrand is the best example to illustrate this point. President Mitterrand disguised the facts that he had already suffered cancer in a long term until he died in his Paris office at the age of 76. As a president, he can be regarded as the most important person concerning with French, so voters had the right to know whether he was healthy enough to continue his political career. When he sought to be a French president, he should expect he had lost some of his privacy. To some extent, the behavior of Mitterrand was irresponsible for French voters.
Somebody may argue actors, athletes and other celebrities are not politician, they are not expected to be responsible for voter, so they should not be annoyed by mass media and open their privacy. As was stated above, politician use their privacy to win the support from voters, well, actors, athletes and others use privacy to win the attention from fans. Let me take Princess Diana as an example. Some people attribute the death of Princess Diana to paparazzi that observe and peer without measure, here we do not discuss who is obligatory to this tragedy, just imagine why the public hold Princess Diana in great reverence. Undoubtedly, her beauty, her smile, her handshake and her donation to charity play an indispensable role. But if mass media did not focus on her in a very long time and in a deep scope, did Princess have the great rallying point? There are so many people who is enthusiastic for charity, but so few have the great influence in contrast with her. The great influence of Princess Diana was, to some extent, created by mass media. If some of her privacy, such as her love affairs, her costume, her marriage, are forbidden to be reported on the news paper, few people will not know who she is. As a result, she can not contribute so greatly to charity. In the same way, singers use their voice, athletes use their plays, and actors use their acts to exchange the reputation, fame, and money, without exaggeration, some of privacy play a crucial role in their carrees to gain what they expect.
Nowadays, even some public figures deliberately divulged details of their private life on purpose. The reason why they are not nervous to show themselves under the eyesight of the public is just because they are eager to be famous by mean of uncovering their privacy to attract notice. Generally believed, divulgement of privacy is one of the best ways to be celebrated for newly-emerged figures in show business. In conclusion, public figures are expected to feel relax when they are under the spotlights, unless they won't seek to be public figure. |
