The opinions of celebrities, such as famous entertainers and athletes, are more important to younger people than to older people.
I strongly agree that the viewpoints and idea of notable people are more important to the younger than to the older. Opinions of famous people can guide people to find their goals, encourage them to defeat problems and give them confidence for a better future. We sometimes regard this phenomenon as the “power of idol”, and what an obvious fact that the younger are affected deeper than the older by this kind of power, so by celebrities. I will explain it in follow aspects.
First let’s figure out what we will gain from opinions of famous people. The most common points released by them in public must be their persistence for their dream and curiosity for new things. These spirits and thoughts play a more significant role in teenager's life than adult's, because adults usually already found their life directions and search for a stable and normal life. Persistence for an unrealizable dream and curiosity for new adventure are no more the main theme of their life. This usually happens in our everyday life. As a young people, I will always be motivated by the saying of notable people such as Jack Chen and LiuXiang that diligent work is the key to success. But my parents have no special feelings and seldom inspire by them. Thus it's no doubt we young people will take the opinion of celebrities more frequently into our consideration than the older people do.
Another reason is that young people are easier to expose to celebrities' opinion. As celebrities' opinion mostly spread by modern media, people who have more accesses to media such as TV, broadcast, internet are inevitably easier to be influenced. Younger people, the most active opponent in modern media without dispute, will accept more points than older people in the nature of things. Recognizing many idols sprung out recent years such as young athlete LinShuhao and famous foreign actress Angelina Julia, I am familiar with their experiences and life opinions. LinShuhao is a talent but modest NBA star, and Julia devoted herself to public welfare. I am impressed by what they did and thought. On the contrary, my parents even didn’t know who they are, not mention to learn something from them. Apparently, viewpoints from famous people are more important to younger people.
Apart from what I mentioned above, there are some other reasons. On the one hand, although no one can deny that few older people do regard famous people as models, we also acknowledge that having outstanding idols and learning their spirits is one of the most significant lessons for all younger people at school. On the other hand, younger people always have more chance to carry out notabilities’ standpoints and more energy to revise them, so that the young can obtain more from them.
Taking all these reasons above into consideration, I still more agree that notable people's ideas and thoughts are more important to younger people than older people. Younger people can benefit a lot by learning from notabilities. Our society should set more famous people as good examples and encourage young people to learn from them.
