Celebrities: Do they have to be Responsible for their Actions.
What makes a celebrity so important to children? Why would children want to be like a person they don't even know? Is it the way they dress or act in public? Does this person have a special talent that most average people cannot do? These role models are athletes, actors, actresses, and singers. They are seen and heard by millions through television, movies, radio, and the internet. Do they have a responsibility to their fans that admire and worship them? Yes because celebrities are role models whether they like it or not. (Lovett) .
Celebrities have the spotlight on them because of their high status. They have money, fame and glory. They are not treated like normal people because they are in a different class. There popularity is worldwide, and sometimes they forget that. They forget that millions of children look up to them. Celebrities also know that they do not live average lives. They cannot walk the streets without being mobbed by fans. There name is known by millions of people around the world. They cannot be like normal people that make simple mistakes. Their mistakes affect more people, and they might not even know it. (Lovett).
"Many kids are growing up in the world that does not welcome them or make them feel needed," according to Karelene Faith(139) Role models can affect a child's life in so many ways, but is it fair to put that pressure on celebrities?.
Madonna is a role model to many people. The way she dressed in the beginning of her career was actually to save herself money. She wore left over clothes she had as a dancer. She would use the left over tights she had to tie her hair back. Madonna was trying to same money for herself, but never realized that she would start a new fashion. (Faith pg.141) .
As Madonna was starting to build an image for herself over the years she had to take a lot of criticism.
