Public Fascination

No one loves being stalked. What drives people to crave about celebrities private lifestyle? After all, they are just the same human being like us. But does it really matter what they do? Does it really affect our lives? Or is it to simply there to just let us know?
Knowledge/information seems so critical and important when it comes to celebrities. Sure they maybe pretty, handsome, charismatic, famous or rich but why do people want to be like them? They want to be just as rich, handsome and famous. People think it is wrong to have private lifestyle if you’re a celebrity. They think every aspect of their lifestyle should be open to the media and the public. But most are very different from what they are to the media and to what they are in private.

Generally, public views of celebrities are, they are perfect. They expect them to be flawless and be good in everything in what they do. If they make a mistake or if they are horrible at something, it almost becomes a rule to criticize and point fingers at them. What we don’t respect is that, they are a person of their own. Everyone needs private, alone, quite time of their own. Their own secret, private little space. Imagine having every detail of your life being shared to the world. Everything that you do, it has to be done so you won’t be criticized or made fun of or mocked. You really can’t be yourself.

However, they do their part. It seems that people can get inspired and change attitudes to what they see in theatres or however you visually see it. It may be good or bad. That may lead to why a lot of us want to be more then what we are, they want to be everything they can be, often asking for too much. It has become a media driven century past few years, over-exaggerating circumstances that may not be big, getting the worst out of any criteria. While they should be just left alone, let them do their things and go on with their life. It seems like we are only making obstacles for other people and giving pain and hard times to go through. Most are silenced and cannot reveal their true personality because they are scared. If we leave them alone, do what they want to do, they can be enhanced and make such better role models. That day may be far away, but certainly many people are waiting for it.

Aaron: Good writing; avoid starting a sentence with a conjunction (but, and, or). Also avoid the 2nd person in a formal essay.17/20
