Celebrities Have a Moral Responsibility to Be Good Role Models for the Society
Celebrities have a moral responsibility to be good role models for the society, would you agree?
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.’
Our opinion as a group is that every human being has a moral responsibility towards society although celebrities tend to have the upper hand when it comes down to being ‘good’ role models. Our three arguments for this topic would be: First, ‘yes celebrities do have a moral responsibility towards society’. Second, ‘every human being has some kind of moral responsibilities towards society’. Third, ‘Celebrities influence the youth of today’. Our counter argument will be: ‘Celebrities cannot be considered as ‘good’ role models because some of their actions can be inappropriate and be a bad influence on others’. Our refutation will be: ‘Miley Cirus is on illegal drugs and Lindsay Lohan was jailed due to the misconduct of the law.’
Our first argument is ‘Celebrities do have a moral responsibility towards society’. Celebrities nowadays are everywhere, from television to your doorstep. Their approach is becoming stronger towards the general population/audience by the simultaneous diversification of the media. Therefore it can be said that due to their constant presence in and around our lives the audience also tends to keeps tabs on them. Everyone who follows the celebrity will know everything about them and that’s why celebrities are under scrutiny all the time. Now because of that scrutiny those celebrities become role models for the people who are watching their every move (especially younger generation). So whether the celebrities like it or not, they are and always
