Some young people like to copy the behaviour and clothes
of famous people. Why might this be the case? What
problems might it cause? These days, more and more young people are following celebrities’ lifestyles. I would argue that there are some reasons behind this common pattern and problems it might cause Some might be obsessed with famous people’s fashion and personality due to their success and glory. That’s why the youngsters who yearns desire to succeed in their career path would idolize and consider them as a standard frame to copy. However, this could lead to detrimental effects due to their lack of consciousness of what is called a perfect model because everyone always has their own disadvantages. This phenomenon could lead them to turn a blind eye to someone who is imperfect, even their parents. They would not consider simple yet valuable things such as friendship, parents’ love and so on. Take Korea as an example, the proportion of parents without care from their children has raised increased/risen in recent years because of idolizing. Some consider idolizing as a way to attract people’s attention. This could lead to financial constraints because of maintaining an unrealistic extravagant lifestyle. This generation might even use debit cards or selling their important properties such as houses and cars, only to purchase the same expensive things with their idols. Furthermore, especially students, this could have a significant impact on their studying. In China, for example, around 35% of students neglect their lessons, especially ones in university, to catch up with showtime of their idols. In conclusion, the young generation nowadays often idolize excessively. This trend could cause some unprecedented problems which need to have appropriate methods to restrict.
