People today tend to think that the opinions of celebrities are more important to the youth than the old. In my mind, I cannot agree more with this opinion, because it is obvious that what the celebrities said have greater influence on the younger's words, actions and even their futures when compared to the older.
To begin with, the youth are more likely to be influent by others. As younger people have less experience than the older people, they are more likely to be influenced by the words celebrities said on the surface. One of my neighbors, Jack, is a typical case in that point. He always use the word "boring" to describe the things around him. He think it is very cool because one of his favorite singers did this one day when he watching TV. The singer's opinion on things around him influence Jack much, but to the older people like Jack's parents, they just think what the singer did it is just a funny joke.
In addition, it's the youth's nature to imitate others' action, especially the people they like. While the older people think that copying other's action is like a fool, the young people consider it as fashion. According to a research conducted by a group of scientists form a university, about 60% teens will buy the drinks or clothes their favorite celebrities like, and more than 50% of the young people in the research said that if the celebrities disliked a thing such as eating potatoes for example, they would not touch potatoes, too. Nevertheless, when it comes to the older people, the results are opposite. The opinions of celebrities have giant influence on the younger people.
Last but not the least, the opinions of celebrities may even decide a young people's future. Amy is one of the most famous football players in my college. She began to play football because the athlete she liked when she was young said that woman can also play football as good as the man like him. his opinion on football encouraged she to try her best to be a good player, decided her future when she was a little girl.
In a nutshell, with such a great influence, we can safety draw a conclusion that the opinions of celebrities are more important to younger people than to the older. |
