Media and Privacy Essay
Media and Privacy Essay
in the lives of celebrities. However, regular people also have to struggle with this problem. No
one is safe. The more famous you are the more media will threaten your privacy.
Another problem as presented in the article is that people that are being stalked by the
paparazzi have no place for any embarrassing mistake in their lives, because they might be
watched all the time. However, there is even something worse, since most celebrities already got
used to being stalked, they have their own ways of dealing with such intrusions, but their families
most of the times do not. Having a famous relative is not a reason for paparazzi to make a
PowerPoint presentation out of someone’s embarrassing mistakes. This is a big problem, because
as silly as it sounds, such things lead to even to suicide and suicide rate skyrocketing is not
something that any of us would want. This is a problem, but not without a solution. We should
spend less time browsing websites that are all about gossip and in turn focus our attention on
more important issues.
Privacy is a sacred thing and should be respected by everyone. We may not be invading
someone’s privacy per se, but we may be doing that indirectly. Media are not respectful of
anyone’s privacy and this is a big problem in nowadays, but there are also ways to deal with that,
we just need to be aware that this is, indeed a problem.
