英文原作


The victim image of a celebrity is often not as it seems. I am inclined to think that celebrities looking for fame sometimes join forces with the media outlets to make everybody happy. To say that famous people are treated unfairely is to misunderstand celebrity behavior. Most likely, they are inviting it. Journalists-turn-paparazzis need to give the audience what they want in order to survive in the gossip world.

Celebrities are stars ready to shine to be seen. The rise of international celebrities in acting and popular music, in particular, is due in large part to the massive scale of the media industries, enabling celebrities to be viewed more often and in more places. Exposure of private lives to the public, intentionally or otherwise, is characteristic of the Hollywood obsession for fame, and then for money. And, with the possible exception of drugs, nothing is more habit-forming than money.

Privacy is a luxury most celebrities cannot afford. The last thing they would like to do is allow their names to be ignored and not to be heard anymore, like fading starlets. The reason is simple. A modest man or woman may be admired only when the public ever hear of him or her. They would rather pay a price of losing privacy for fame than be out of spotlight. The media outlets serve to boost the image of willing celebrities who must thrive on fame or infamy or both to be able to continue living in galaxies.

Such is my observation of celebrity hehavior which the media outlets put in the center of public attention along with important global issues. I believe that all is fair and well that ends well. Movie stars, singing stars as well as sports stars and political stars, once becoming public celebrities, are considered as public properties and must live public lives. It is as if driving on Sunset Boulevard, celebrities must know that is the street to stars.

Seeing only negative points about advertising is as if looking a few trees without seeing an entire forest behind, which is the power of advertisements. There is no denying the influence of advertising on people's behavior, so much so that an average person may come across hundreds of advertisements almost everyday. Advertising provides useful information to potential consumers selecting new products or services. To buy or not to buy is the choice of customers. Advertising is not to blame. In my view, there are more good things about modern advertising than meets the eye.

That some people say advertising does more harm than good should come as no surprise. There is a feeling about the public perception of advertising increasingly becoming negative. Indeed, some advertisements prove too good to be true, or too persuasive to be ignored. Often, consumers are motivated to purchase products or services they really do not need. That could mean false information making goods more expensive. What is really bothering is same advertisements being repeated every 10 minutes or so. And this, I believe, is a boredom with which few, if any, can put up.

No doubt, the high sales of popular consumer goods reflect the power of advertising rather than the real needs of society in which they are sold. Usually this is a result of impulsive buying. As a general rule, advertisements tell the public about new things that may improve people's lives, ranging from food to clothes to tourism to medical care. Advertising promotes consumerism, which in turn pushes production, which creates more jobs. The cycle is virtuous. In fact, it works so magically that even governments and non-profit orgaizations are also resorting to advertising as a means to to inform people against flu attacks or HIV infections, to name only a few.

Many advertisements are entertaining, in addition to being mostly helpful and informative. It seems to me some are good to the point of being poetic. Many a time I have enjoyed advertisements immensely, thinking what an art it is of human intelligence good enough to get money through the sights and sounds of the mass media. It is out of my mind that some such advertisements could be harmful, expecially to small children. Anyway, those obvious negative effects may be controled and be forgiven because advertising has become a reality as well as a necessity in modern society.
