CELEBRITIES ARE GOOD ROLE MODELS

By Cynthia Maende

We are all fascinated by people who earn huge amount of money and enjoying luxurious life. We have all come across their life stories, hard work, struggles and dedication through social media platforms and internet finding them inspiring and so most of us take them as role models. Celebrities act as role models because there are many people who look up to them. Some fans imitate the behaviors and looks of celebrities who are their favorite actors and actresses. It is also not shocking finding some fans so fascinated with movie stars to an end of falling in love with them.

Many celebrities have managed to inspire kids through their fame and also helping those who are in need. For example, Lady Gaga who founded the Born This Way foundation that supports the mental health of young people and works with them to build a kinder and braver world. Numerous celebrities spend huge part of their celebrity net worth by supporting those from humble backgrounds to acquire their basic needs.

It is not easy to be a role model and so one needs to be more dedicated and hardworking. Kids learn a lot from the good deeds of celebrities. However, some celebrities have become famous because of doing bad deeds like abusing drugs and unethical dressing in public. Celebrities’ artists should have selections of words for their music, so that the song can be motivating and inspiring to kids and not misleading them. For example, “Nimekuja na mubaba song” can easily mislead kids especially the girl child, not to be independent because the song itself explains how a “mubaba” is stable enough to provide money to the ladies.

Most of the celebrities are nice people who make the world a better place by using their fame for good purposes or helping others when they are in need. A part from that, they do their best to change our society for the better. It is best to imitate people with only good models than those people who are doing bad deeds to chase clout and gain fame. Upcoming celebrities should be supported because they are our future stars.
