Celebrities should be allowed to keep their lives private

When speaking about the private life of public figures, an entire society gets acquainted with the stars’ intimacy because of the interference that the media has over their lives. More often than not, stars private lives are put on display by the mass media. Due to this situation, heated debates are generated on whether celebrities should keep their private lives private or they should share their personal matters with the public opinion.
On the one hand, it is essential to differentiate the role fro the person. To get information about someone’s job is not a problem, but to get into someone’s privacy really is. Although their work is to interact with people, to appear in magazines’ covers, to take part in TV programmes, there is no need for them to bear up gossiping, criticism, or detailed commentaries about their personal matters. In effect, the media places undue emphasis on private affairs, a fact which can cause difficulties in celebrities’ lives. Without the media’s intervention, fewer problems of these well known people may arise.
On the other hand, public figures are considered models to be followed. They are supposed to live by certain social codes which may control the way they deal with people. In addition to this, it can be mentioned that most artists break these social conversations, maskerading a model they are not. Besides, it can be said that some celebrities need to hide their mediocrity by using foul means, that is to say, while being the centre of attention in different programmes; celebrities believe they are on the road to success.
Taking everything into consideration, it can be said that public figures’ jobs and private lives are continually displayed by the media. Once the media gives information about these celebrities, some parts of society take them as paradigms of success.
