Everyone is entitled to have an opinion. When itcomes to opinions, though there’s a difference between the majority of people and celebritieslike actors, athletes and rocks stars . If you’ve an average person, only your family and friendscare about your opinion. If your famous ,the whole world listens, or so it seems sometimes. Isthis the way it should be ? I don’t think so.
We shouldn’t pay attention to famous people’s opinions just because of who they are. Being afamous basketball player doesn’t make someone an expert on environmental issues. However, that basketball player has a better opportunity to be heard than most people do. If that playerfeels very strongly about an issue ,he can use his fame to draw attention to it and get otherpeople involved. That way they can draw attention and needed dollars to that issue.
People who are rich put their money behind a cause.. In the same way, famous people areusing their most valuable asset. In their case, it’s not money, It’s their name recognition. Should people pay attention to what they think just because of who they are? I don’t think so. Ialso don’t think we should discount what they think just because of who there are. They havea right to their opinion. If their name draws people to that cause, all the better for the cause.
I think too often we categorized people and try to keep them in their place. Celebrities havebrains and should be allowed to use them. When they ‘re advocating a cause, their opinionshould be just one of money factors we use to evaluate that cause.
