Task answer

Nowadays, having access to social media is become globalized. Using these platforms, people from various parts of the world can easily follow the news related to the personal life of their favorite celebrities. This is because lots of photographer and paparazzies take time to chase these celebrities al the time as they can use these photos to make people visit their profile more and even earn some money through this way. While, some people argue that invading personal space of these popular bodies are not ethical, others believe that there is nothing wrong with this approach as long as it makes the general population satisfied. People who argue that its unethical to take a photo of celebrity without their permission believe that every human beings has a right of having privacy and the fact that they are famous and people are interested in their personal life is not a good reason to violate this right. These group of people reference to lots of studies that show being under the pressure of the presence of photographer everywhere and to be forced to constantly look perfect can leads to severe depression in influencers and celebrities. However, other group of people (including me) discuss that being a celebrity is all about being seen all the time. Moreover, people are usually interested and somehow curious about the personal life style of these unique and popular people, as they probably believe they do not believe a normal life. Furthermore, being popular and to be top on the news is usually the desire of lots for celebrities and unavoidable part of their jobs as they have chosen to be popular and being under the spotlight. To summarize, some celebrities popularity on one hand and the social media on the other hand have lead to spread of personal photos and life of some famous people. Although it might be annoying to be constantly under the pressure of the presence of photographers, this is a inherent part of being famous and it is usually fulfill their fans curious about their daily life.
