Celebrities Deserve Privacy

In the article “The Impact Celebrities Have on Our LIves”, Deborah King suggests that, because of the Internet and media today, celebrities do not have private lives anymore (para 10-11), and I agree with her. What surprises me about this is that I have never thought about it in this way. I will see what celebrities are doing in magazines and on television and never give it a second thought because it is so common. Often times I see photos of celebrities in magazines, but they are not only of when the celebrities are at social events. I have seen dozens of celebrities photographed while shopping with their families at the grocery store, walking in a park, and even of when they are taking out the trash. This illustrates that even something as

Some of us would say “No”, but the majority of us would leap on the prospect of living the life of a celebrity. Who doesn’t want the perks of vacationing all over the world, having someone wait on you hand and foot, receiving freebies from designers and all the other perks that come with being a celebrity? The question is do we want the downfalls that come with fame? Can we handle vicious tabloid scrutiny, fabrications, and assumptions? Being a celebrity has its perks, but at what cost? Fame and money can be the root of all evil. Never the less, we are contributing to the madness when we purchase tabloid magazines, watch entertainment shows that follow celebrity activities and judge them for their actions.

The question of paparazzi threatening privacy and First Amendment rights is often to situational to argue in a conventional manner, but certainly there are many facets of the issue which can be addressed in a quite straightforward manner. Celebrities who feel they have the right to privacy in public places often muddy the waters of this issue. Oddly enough, those celebrities who have chosen to speak out against what they feel are violations of their privacy most always begin their campaigns with a large press conference. In other words, they gather together those people they wish to not only suppress but also berate in hopes that these people will use their positions and skills to

In today’s world, every little thing celebrities do become a headline. The media publish exclusives and people tend to soak them up. Why? Simply put, it sells. There is an audience that wants to read and see such material, so the media are happy to comply. However, while some argue that celebrities have a private life that should remain so, the media does not have a right to publish their every personal detail. However, when it comes to actions that have been taken and could still potentially harm the safety of others, then the public has a right to know.

Everyone who is interested in pop culture and the entertainment industry knows who the paparazzi are. According to Merriam-Webster’s dictionary, the term paparazzi is defined as “a free lance photographer who aggressively pursues celebrities for the purpose of taking candid photographs.” The term actually came from a film from the 1960’s called ‘La Dolce Vita’, directed by Federico Fellini. A character in the film was a news photographer named Paparazzo. Paparazzi target celebrities and public figures that are in the spotlight. In recent years, the paparazzi have taken their job of snapping photos to another extent. They will go to any length to get the shot of a celebrity, even if

It’s like giving an allowance to a child, the more you give them, thinking they will do what they are supposed to do and act right, the more the act totally against it. Entertainers and celebrities get so wrapped in fame and glory and themselves, they often times forget they are just people, like everyone else. Their behaviors are most time excused by society and by courts due to them being under extreme pressure, their lives are in the public eye and this supposedly causes stress and strain on their lives. Are we supposed to look away and forget that we also have issues in our lives, but, if we are caught doing these same acts our actions are not looked away from, we are actually held accountable for what we are doing.

The infamous paparazzi, known for intruding on a celebrity’s private life and giving society the sweet and juicy details on who is dating who and what one celebrity insulted the other. It’s stressful for the paparazzi, considering how dangerous it can be to get this info. But do they go too far in their tactics? And what, (if any) restrictions should be created to prevent violations in celebrities personal rights? Should the paparazzi have the ability to legally talk about a celebrity's recent break up or weight gain without their permission?

For another example, Kim is like a spoiled child who would make a fuss over a little thing that she cannot obtain. Paris seems to be a woman with overly self-confidence, who objectifies the men as the sexual object to satisfy her lust. If these actions were occurred by the male celebrities, then they could have many down side of their lives, but, for Kim and Paris, there could be some bad consequences, rather yet, it would soon to be another step up for their fame. According to these issues, the modern America media focus on being the hot issues and being famous, but the media started to show the bad actions as just a comedy that will help the celebrities to get more attention; even when the actions sometimes would have some negative effects on the

The case study I chose to do is “Tom Cruise, Katie Holmes and Suri Cruise: Do Celebrities Have Privacy?” This case study discusses the very public divorce of actor Tom Cruise and actress Katie Holmes. The two were forced to play out much of their relationship so that the world could see. This bring up a multitude of ethical issues as far as a person’s right to privacy and dealing with their personal lives.

Celebrities are a huge element in today’s society that a world without them is even hard to imagine because we are so accustom to seeing them all the time and everywhere we go whether it is in television, magazines and especially in social media. They have this power that we, as a society allow them to have and they are able to influence us all in different ways sometimes without themselves even realizing the impact they have. The role they have is so huge that we are constantly wanting to know everything about them, what they wear, what they eat and what they are doing. Celebrities are a part of our culture and it is hard to ignore the fact that we look up to them, it is as if they were up on a pedestal making them so much more important

In the article “The Impact Celebrities have on Our Lives”, Deborah King states that we are obsessed with celebrities(para1), and I agree, it also makes me wonder why people are obsessed with celebrities. In my experience I can see a lot of people are usually watching a reality show or something of that sort. This shows that society is obsessed with celebrities. In addition it also shows that the reason people even care about celebrities is they are entertaining. In conclusion our society is obsessed with celebrities weather they have a good or bad effect on us.

Although Celebrities are getting paid for their personal lives to be exposed and judged. They should know what they are getting themselves into, when they decided to become famous. This is what the minority of people say, which is quite unfair to the celebrity, for people to think this way. Celebrities deserve the chance for their personal lives to be respected they have rights like anybody else. They are constantly reminded of their past mistakes, even when they have rectified themselves, asked for forgiveness, and tried to be a better role model. It is astonishing how cruel and quick people for these mistakes, when they mostly have made the same. Celebrities should not be wrongly judged for wanting privacy, people do not know them , they

Living in a technological era, we have access to the tabloids more than ever before. There are social media platforms, magazines, online news sites, and movies screaming to be read and watched; and they are covered with images of high profile celebrities. We are living in the century of media innovation together with the development of celebrity culture.

Many people do outrageous things to successfully get a job accomplished, but majority of the paparazzi use unethical tactics. To get a valuable picture of a celebrity, paparazzi often create unnecessary chaos. For instance, a paparazzo purposely put himself in front of Lindsay Lohan’s moving vehicle in order to get a dramatic story from it. Needless to say, about 41% of the paparazzi make up a story to go along with the photo. During desperate measures, another paparazzo has set off the fire alarm to get their target to exit a building. Paparazzi even fight each other to get the most valuable picture. As long as the most profitable picture is captured, paparazzi care less about who gets hurt in the process, whether it is a pedestrian and/or the celebrities themselves. Risking their own safety, paparazzi will even climb buildings or stow away in trees. The most popular incident in this case was Jennifer Aniston’s topless picture taken by a paparazzo

How much privacy of the individual is protected under the United States Constitution? Every one is entitled to the right of privacy, but to what extent is that privacy granted? Public figures are constantly being harassed and photographed by the media. Some photographers and reporters will go to any means, even illegal actions, to get a picture or story. However, public figures are human beings like everyone else, and the media should give them more privacy. The media needs to operate with more respect for both laws and for moral and ethical codes of conduct. There are laws establishing the privacy of an individual, and the media needs to extend these rights to public figures.
