IELTS ESSAYS AND LETTERS / 27
Should famous people have more privacy? Do the media treat celebrities
fairly?
Being famous is not as easy as one can think. Newspapers, television and
the Internet can make you very well-known, but they can also take away
your privacy.
Famous people depend on the media. Without films, television, magazines,
radio, and other media, there would be no money for actors or musicians,
and politicians would not get elected. Without advertisement, super stars
would not get huge contracts. However, in return for publicity and even
more fame and money, celebrities sell part of their personal and professional
lives. Often, their friends and families suffer too.
The media, in turn, depend on celebrities. Sport heroes, super models, and
politicians fill the pages of our papers and our television screens. But the
relationship can easily go wrong. Too much attention from the media can
drive some celebrities crazy. The families are affected, and relationships
break down. Their work or social life suffers, leading to even more rumors
and media stories. Like a pack of wild dogs, the press feeds on its victims
and fights over the bones. Sometimes, the media have a duty to do. It must
tell the public about some wrongdoing or some crooked business deal. But
usually the main business of the media is to sell more magazines or
advertisements, and when it has chewed up one victim, the pack will move
to the next.
In conclusion, there is a constant battle between media and celebrities, and
often there are human victims. The next time you read about the latest
footballer or singer, think about the human behind the story.
