Celebrity Culture

The good about Gossip 
Magazines: 
• Lots of people - especially woman, buy gossip magazines every week to catch 
up on the latest celebrity gossip and true life stories that has hit the tabloids. 
Most people believe they need to know the celebrity gossip - which lets be 
honest, we all love to know what's going on as were all incredibly nosey. 
• Celebrity Gossip Boasts Our Self-Esteem. 
• helps us bond with our friends. The act of gossiping - talking, listening, 
sharing secrets and stories - bonds us together and helps us to form 
friendships and distinctive group identities. 
• Celebrity Gossip gives us a common Vocabulary. 
• teach us lessons. we learn about the social actions and interests of those 
around us. We learn how to act - and how not to act - in certain situations.
The bad about Gossip 
magazines 
• Gossip magazines are unhealthy as they promote 
celebrity lifestyles which aren't realistic to normal 
life. 
• Gossip often hurts people and creates negative 
opinions of celebrities in peoples minds on facts 
written in these magazines which aren't 
necessarily true. 
• Talking about people is a bad habit and these 
magazines do this as the basis of there articles and 
makes readers copy this behaviour which creates 
many problems such as insecurity and loneliness.
The Good about celebrity 
culture. 
In a fantasy world we’d be motivated purely by the 
love of justice and our generosity. But most of us are 
not like that. We need a lot of encouragement – a lot 
of persuasion – before we direct or thoughts and 
money and effort, to distant strangers. Therefore 
celebrity culture is a good things as we watch 
celebrities help people we feel the need to idolize 
(copy) them and do the same. Without celebrity 
culture the majority of people wouldn’t feel like they 
needed to help people.
The bad about celebrity 
culture 
• Celebrities are role models for many, but mostly 
the younger generation. Celebrities breaking laws 
and having public scandals are at an all time high 
which affects how young people think and what 
they think is right and wrong. An example of this is 
pop star Justin Beiber who was arrested for 
hitting a paparazzi. The star has a huge fan base 
around the world and who mostly consist of 
young girls. If they see there role model hit a 
paparazzi, what's to stop them thinking its okay to 
do the same.
