Week Six Blog Prompt

The news media should be blamed for the unhealthy paparazzi culture and going to the extremes for sensational news. How far do you agree?

I agree because when the term paparazzi come to peoples' minds, they would be known as a stalker. This is because even though they are movie stars, these celebrities are still people. Everyone needs their own comfort zone and privacy. These paparazzi follow them everywhere they go, shopping, spa and to exaggerate, they may have a campsite outside the homes of celebrities. From the perspective of a celebrity, wouldn't it be creepy to know that there would be paparazzi following behind wherever you go. One may even have the sound of a camera shutter stuck in their head whilst the thought of people following them everywhere.

A counter argument may be that it is because of the social status of these people that keeps the paparazzi on their move. The fact that these people have a higher status may be why so many people are curious of what they do or did. They may think that they are the same species yet there's a difference in status. Some people may inflict insulting comments to demote the celebrities because of jealousy. They are jealous that they could not have the same fame, wealth or attention and wants the celebrities to feel the same. Thus this may be tentative from the point of view of this issue.
