刚写了一篇作文,麻烦imong、albert_sun还有其他同学给看一看。谢啦。写了四百一十多字,是不是有点多啊
28.do you agree or disagree with the following statement? Television, newspapers, magazines, and other media pay too much attention to the personal lives of famous people such as public figures and celebrities. Use specific reasons and details to explain your opinion.
Nowadays, mass media, which conclude television, newspapers, magazines and so forth, have played an undeniable role in today's society. The reports of personal lives of famous people such as public figures and celebrities just like politician, pop singers and Sports and movie stars often flood our sight. Nevertheless, it is precise to criticize the mass media for paying too much focus on the personal lives of famous individuals.
First of all, a successful public figure earning millions even billions of dollars relies on the reports of television and newspapers concerning with him or her. Their new songs, movies, books and their arrivals at some places or occasions are transmitted by mass media to let people know and then bring them benefit. It is hard to separate their personal lives from "public" lives because they may have chance to appear in media's attention at any time and any places. For example, how do we define The Prince of Wales Charles’ marriage a private or public event?
Secondly, among all of the reasons why so much attention is paid on the private lives, the taste of public has priority. Such is human nature that a great many people are not only willing but positively eager to know the things of famous people's private lives. SO, it is no surprise to understand that mass media industry, being inherently commercial, report personal details of celebrities so badly in that their customers want to see or read them. In that case, it is better to say the public pays too much attention to the personal lives of famous people than to criticize the media do.
Granted that a lot of attention has been paid to celebrities' private lives and their personal lives can be separated clearly, the public is more interested in their negative ones than the opposite. Kobe Bryant sexual assault case, Graf's father's tax evasion, Michael Jackson's child molestation …these reports are more attractive to the public than the counterpart that some celebrities donate to charity, or a politician helps a blind girl to find her lost Barbie doll. The public figures often show their positive aspects instead of showing the opposite which render the public curious with the negative information. And the mass media cater them.
In conclusion, it is oversimplification to say mass media pay too much attention to the personal lives of famous people. I prefer: they pay too much attention to the negative aspects of their private lives. And more positive ones should be reported. |
