3. Do you agree or disagree with the following statement? Television, newspapers, magazines, and other media pay too much attention to the personal lives of famous people such as public figures and celebrities. Use specific reasons and details to explain your opinion. I agree that media pay too much attention on celebrities's privacy. Famous people are not only public properties but private indivisuals. They have basic human rights just as you and me. They pay for fame. Media chase them for uncovering their private behavior, character, and integrity. Their everything seems have to come under scrutiny. Fans may regard their idols as role models. However, some coverage is misleading, confusing right and wrong, and producing profound negative impacts on the growth of younger generations. The responsibility of media is to tell the truth of more important things, not to grab attention by using sensational and fake stories. Reporting privacy may be equal to personal assult, which is harmful to the people concerned and their family. Some irresponsible reprots may also ruin the career and even life of a famous personage. It's vicious to spread one's privacy, especially those slander. Citizens have the right to know the truth about and supervise celebrities, and media have the right to tell. However, no one has the right to violate and derogtate others' privacy. Though this kind of reports will urge famous people refrain from some indecent behavior, focusing on their private things such as love affairs and shopping lists is useless to society. Paying attention on those p's and q's is boring. Reporting more about profesional aspects of celeb- rities is far more important than their private life. -- thanks for any comment. --
