Pop stars are always doing things to help society because they constantly entertaining people with their songs. they provide an outlet for emotions, especially for teenagers. Many people can find comfort in the songs by emphasising with the with lyrics in the song. Many pop stars use their fame to raise money for charities and other good causes such as those who took part in the Live 8 concert to raise money for the third world debt.
Sports stars also play a significant role in the society of today by being role models to children and teenagers. They can set a good example by teaching children the importance of sport and regular exercise as well as eating a healthy diet. Many sports stars participate in campaigning for sports equipment for schools such as the ones ran by Tesco and Persil, as well as raising money for charities such as running marathons to raise money for cancer research.
Actors and actresses entertain the whole country on TV in films, series and soap operas. The majority of the country will go to the cinema with their friends or relatives to watch a new film; whether it is comedy, romance, action or thriller. Soap operas can address difficult issues that affect society by including them in the storyline, where as TV series and films can provide inspiration for aspiring actors, actresses, writers and directors.
Many famous people misuse their fame and spend their money on drugs and alcohol. Celebrities are always on the news because they have been arrested for abusing drugs and drink driving. Just think of all the good that could be done with the money these celebrities waste on drugs, alcohol, cars and more cars.
There are lots of homeless people in Britain who are living on the streets because they can not afford to buy anything. They only get money for food from people who pass them on the streets. Just a small fraction of the money that just one celebrity, such as David Beckham or Madonna, could drastically improve living conditions of thousands of homeless people suffering living life on the streets.
Many people in Britain suffer from poverty, they work long hours for little pay, in some circumstances they hardly get enough to live off, struggling to buy food and other necessities. People in these situations may be tempted to break the law by stealing food and money just to survive and support their families.
In conclusion I believe that celebrities get too much money, they do not do enough to justify all the money that they receive. The money they earn is not needed and could be used to help people in difficult situations such as poverty, homelessness and illness. I agree that we are paying celebrities an obscene amount of money for doing next to nothing.
