Are celebrities bad for our children?

Since the beginning of society, role models have been existing and from our childhood, we tend to idolize our parents and by the time we have grown up, we tend to admire other people, like celebrities for example, but what happens when these modern celebrities are not precisely role models.

 

On one hand, not all modern celebrities are poor role models, like Malala Yousafzai has faced several problems in her young lifetime, fought even death caused by a murder attempt in her own bus school. We also need to take Emma Watson into consideration because she may be recognized by her role of Hermione Granger in the saga of Harry Potter but beyond being the pretty girl on the screen, she also is a Goodwill Ambassador for U.N. Women who made a strong speech and said it to make conscience for all the people who do not see the problem of feminism which as a word has been used badly, to describe and patronize women.

 

While there are good types of role models it is also true to say that bad role models predominate the world. On the other hand, we can find through all internet people who make their life as they want but in progress, their appearance or look gives society a bad impression. People now idolize mediocrity. Let’s take for example the girls who make videos playing games, which they are called streaming clothless almost scratching to porn. There are already consequences in our children caused by the recent artist that sings purely trash pretending to be cool. Unfortunately, kids seem to like these good role models and tend to imitate them making tok-toks acting like dumbs just to get the approval of their friends. The worst thing is that most of the young people nowadays are doing this worthless lifestyle and the most annoying is that they get paid a big amount of money and people who studied college, master’s degree or even a doctorate can´t find a job with a good salary.

 

So modern celebrities are a curse or a blessing? Well, in my opinion, I´d say that likes to destroy genders. The way you find your own role model relies on you and as parents, you should be aware of what kind of people your children follow.
