Must celebrities have a social responsibility?

There is a huge debate about celebrities' social responsibility. Worldwide many celebrities have been getting into political and social causes. In Brasil, for example, Gilberto Gil, Chico César, Fernanda Lima, Letícia Sabatela, Wagner Moura, Chico Buarque, Caetano Veloso are some of the well-known artists who support social, political and cultural movements.

First of all, it's important to know that everyone has social responsibilities. Since we live in communities, being responsible for your fellow human being passes through thinking about education in a macro sight. Some people believe that celebs must be role models once they are famous.

On the other hand, there are people who judge this discussion from different points of view. as social individuals, every person has rights. The question is: how has media been dealing with the privacy of those celebs? - what is the media role? - Somebody could argue that regardless of being a public figure they have the right to privacy.

In addition, there is the audience of those celebs. That means thousands of millions of people who follow, watch and read, daily, about them. Therefore, their attitudes, speech, and behavior might be a model to a share of their followers who are, most of the time, teenagers.

The new questioning is: should they use the power of their influence to help people and causes around the world or locally?

To sum up, as long as I am concerned, it would be a mandatory requirement for being a famous or rich person. I really think that we all must be aware that our attitudes and even gestures might influence younger people. I am convinced that it would be a way of constructing a new and better world.

Social network

In today's life is very difficult to do not have access to social networks. I almost can not imagine how the world would be, even though just for a week, if we have not our notebooks and smartphones. The fact is that there are in social networks a bunch of necessities like jobs, studies, entertainment, communications, etc.. In terms of history, the internet is very young but the numbers of users have been growing increasingly. I used to think that this evolution is very important to the humankind, eleven that now we can participate in many fields like politics or education in virtual environments. That provides more integrations among people around the world and makes the processes quicker, more dynamic and even fun for the youngers. Of course, there are some reasons that make some people think differently from me. I understand them, by the reason that in many circumstances it can separate people, making them live just the virtual world and almost forget the exist a real one or eve...

Subsequently, Anthony Tropole, Wilkie Collins, Raymond Williams, are cited as writers from that time that had also used the term. The coinage of the new name was grounded in the late nineteenth century, given the fact that there was a need to represent in language a cultural change, a shift in consciousness in society. In effect, some writers seemed to reject the new term to define their pieces of writing. Hence, they stood referring to the genre...
