Celebrity Role Models

A positive role model could be defined as a celebrity, as a responsible person who puts others needs before their own while never altering their beliefs or values. A positive role model could also be defined as an individual who battles through hardships in their life while keeping an optimistic attitude. A personality that is compassionate and caring towards an individual while boosting self-esteem, or an individual who is available as a confidant. According to “a study from the University of California at Los Angeles School of Public Health, youths who named role models they knew personally had better grades and higher levels of self-esteem.” (New York Times, 2002) DJ Tanner-Fuller from Netflix’s “Fuller House” is a positive role model for a mid-twenties to early thirties woman because she is motivated through moments that are incredibly complicated and always pushes through the obstacles life directs towards her.

Celebrities that proclaim to not being role models are and will always be role models, due to the fact that there are too many people to be able to control, made even worse by the fact that the media puts them all over the internet. The problem with celebrities is that their size is too great, when Barkley says she doesn't want to be an role model,”I am not your role model. Parents should be role models. Just because i can dunk a basketball doesn't mean i should raise your kids”.(Article 1 Mendes) it's impossible due to the fact that there are millions of people who copy the way he looks, acts, and talks, even his peers in the NBA rejects this Karl Malone states “Charles... I don't think it's your decision to make. We don’t choose to be role models, we are chosen. Our only choice is whether to be a good role model or an bad on.” (Article 1 Mendes) . This quote in contrast to what Barkley says is that kids choose us to be the role model and it's up to them too be good ones he tries to show how they don’t have an say if there role models or not. Role models can always have a positive effect on people in Article 2 it states “Celebrates who complete college coursework have an interest in politics write books, study literature travel abroad or engage in debates showcase intellectual skills”(Article 2 Tucker) Quotes like these shows how the celebrities are great positive role models in the right hands not all celebrities are like this..Times celebrities are an negative influence

The media covering our everyday lives all over has opened up numerous different ways to get yourself entertained. This, in conjunction, is bound to create celebrities. And even though some people are in it just for the money and fame, other ones are actually working for a genuinely good cause.

First of all by using the dictionary the main definitions can be broken down; the definition for a celebrity is ‘a famous or well known person’. The definition of moral responsibility is ‘the idea that a person has moral obligations in certain situations.’ The definition of a good role model is ‘a person whose behaviour, example, or success is or can be emulated by others, especially by younger people.’

The role of celebrities, be it in sports or in entertainment, as a role model for youngsters is widely debated, with many people claiming that these famous personalities have hardly any didactic purpose to serve. In my opinion, this notion merits serious consideration.

I really hate the part of our culture where people want to come for celebrities when they feel they have done something problematic, but then completely ignore those same individuals when they correct their problematic behavior as well as do many other positive things with their influence. I will be the first to say there are a lot of extremely unjust practices and behaviors in what we see in the media and the lives/actions of celebrities, but spreading hate for those that actively attempt to make a positive impact with their influence and even recognize and correct their problematic behavior when it happens is completely idiotic and a step in the wrong direction. I get that everyone has their own opinions on what appeals to them in entertainment,

One may say that no it's bad to have a celebrity as a role model because most of the celebrities have had problems like drugs or getting arrested. Deborah King actually said, in her article,”Angelina Jolie is another celebrity who, although not a very rocky and well known past, has come to be one of the greatest spokeswoman…”(paragraph 16). In addition, Deborah King put Angelina Jolie her article because she is one of the greatest spokeswoman which makes her a great role model. This also shows that, even though Angelina Jolie had a rocky well known past/bad origin she still came out of be one of the greatest spokeswoman. In Deborah King's article she puts ,”....There are some celebrities who use their fame to bring about change and are celebrity role models”(paragraph 15). This also shows that Deborah King is saying that there are celebrities that can be good role models. This is important because, celebrities can be role models and you can be inspired by celebrity role models. Now that we have evidence of celebrities being good role models from Deborah King, we can now agree that celebrities can be

After interpreting my findings from research regarding attributes which determine a person to be considered a positive role model, investigation was conducted to determine who are current role models in the media and whether they're reflective of the qualities required.

What is the issue with Celebrities beginning to be in so much trouble? Well here is the answer. Celebrities make awesome money and do what they love, but being around cameras all the time may be getting old. In today’s society Celebrities are getting bored with the cameras always being around so they may get bored and get on drugs and make bad decisions.

I've been pretty lucky to have a good role model. A role model is someone that you look up to and someone that will always be there for you. My personal heroes provided

The whole process of media reporting is a vicious cycle. People should realize celebrities are almost completely legally unprotected from the constant media attention and the scrutiny that comes along with it. Nordhaus (1999) wants people to realize current laws are not designed to protect celebrities the way they should be nowadays. He believes that more laws should be enforced to protect the safety and lives of famous people. Nordhaus also states that the “media attention has resulted in a complete loss of privacy for the individuals involved,” which is a huge negative aspect of being a celebrity.

According to Source C, Celebrities are the “role models” that encourage the American Society with their “free, on-the-go, non-constrained” lives. However, there has been an increase in incidents where celebrities abuse their powers, willingly lying to the public about their past accidents. Although it seems unfair to go against one’s privacy and freedom the public should have the right to know the truth about a celebrity they respect. Therefore, I challenge the claim that supports the idea of celebrities having the the same right to privacy as other citizens.

Many individuals would argue that in celebrities’ private lives, they should not have to act as a positive influential role, as they are out of the spotlight. After all it is their private life, so technically it should be no one’s concern what they do in their free time. However, before people become celebrities, they are aware of the little to no privacy they are going to receive from the public. This is one of the unfortunate disadvantages of being famous. With the media and paparazzi on their
