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.

Defining and non-defining relative clauses and participle clauses

Improving our speaking and writing has to do with how much we know about the language we speak. There is a good reason to study grammar deeper. The present essay intends to do a brief explanation of two interesting and very useful grammar topics: defining and non-defining relative clauses and participle clauses. First of all, we may distinguish when we use these two types of clauses: defining relative clauses are used when some information is important to specify what is being talked about. On the other hand, non-defining relative clauses are used when this information is not relevant or is only additional. An interesting characteristic is that this last one always uses commas. Relative clauses are sometimes referred to as adjective clauses. They are constructed by using relative pronouns such as "that", "which", "who", "whom", "whose" etc. in order to refer to people or things in a sentence. It is important to remember that we do not u...

Summary chpt1 "Origins: From Folk-Tale to Art-Tale" by Paul March-Russel

Summary of Chapter One Origins: From Folk-Tale to Art-Tale Book: The Short Story: An Introduction by Paul March-Russell, 2009 ________________________________________________________________ Universidade Federal do Ceará DELILT - Centro de Humanidades Literatura em Língua Inglesa I Prof.ª Lola Aronovich 2018.1 ________________________________________________________ Paul March-Russel begins telling us that the earliest recorded references to the term "short story" is from the Oxford English Dictionary, in the late eighteenth century. 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...

Produção textual para cadeira de literatura na faculdade

UNIVERSIDADE FEDERAL DO CEARÁ CENTRO DE HUMANIDADES I TEORIA DA LITERATURA II PROFº: ATILIO BERGAMINI As principais ideias discutidas no livro "O clamor de Antígona" (2000), escrito por Judith Butler (1956), refletem sobre questões gênero, sobre as crises contemporâneas nas formas de parentesco e de representação política. Em seus argumentos e questionamentos, a autora dialoga com as reflexões de outros pensadores como Luce Irigaray (1930), Hegel (1770) e Jacques Lacan (1901), tendo como objeto comum de interpretação a tragédia Antígona (442 a.C.), escrita por Sófocles. Basicamente, o enredo da peça teatral gira em torno das ações de Antígona, uma das quatro descendentes do caso incestuoso de Édipo e Jocasta, sua mãe e esposa. As ações desenvolvidas pela protagonista tendem a contrariar as leis do Estado, ditadas pelo rei Creonte, que é também seu tio materno. O paradigma que se coloca é o de obedecer às leis do Estado e, inversamente, desobedecer às leis do parentesco ao en...
