Many people choose to copy celebrities seen on TV and in magazines. Is it a positive or a negative development?
Living in the technology age, people are bombarded with information of celebrities, whose images and behaviors are splashed across televisions, movies, magazines, and internet. They are increasingly becoming role models for many people. I strongly believe this is a negative trend for our society.
Some people believe that following the fashion heavily has a negative effect on their financial situation. People who keep up with this trend will be more likely to purchase more lavish items such as branded clothes and bags. This behavior can create financial pressure, especially to those from disadvantaged backgrounds. Another problem is that people who copy these celebrities are obsessed with status symbol and tend to gain a sense of identity from purchasing luxuries. This may cause social inequality and social unrest, due to the fact that many low-income people find it difficult to afford these lavish items endorsed by celebrities. Some of them even commit crime such as theft and robbery to gain these items.
On the positive side, it has a beneficial effect on people’s social life. People who live in a busy life have less time to discover common interest with others. If they keep up with such trend, they can have more talking points with their friends, such as life of celebrities and latest fashionable goods purchased by celebrities. This can create a sense of closeness and maintain the relationship.
In conclusion, we cannot erase the effect of celebrities in our life due to their images appeared everywhere. However, I would like to affirm that copying from celebrities are harmful, since it might destroy people’s perception of reality.
