Celebrities have the power to attract "communities of like-minded followers: they provide an identity that people can connect to and call their own. Celebrities are trusted: they stand for certain ideas and values to which followers can express allegiance. Adapted from William Greider, Who Will Tell the People? Admiration for celebrities is often accompanied by contempt for 'average people. As we focus on the famous, other people become less important to us. The world becomes populated with a few some bodies and an excess of near-nobodies Adapted from Norman Solomon and Jeff Cohen, Wizards of Media Oz Assignment: ls society’s admiration for famous people beneficial harmful?

People can resist hunger thirst epidemics and even warfare, but they cannot live without a catharsis. The catharsis gives people the power to withstand against the disasters. However, while some catharses might be helpful such as sports and literature, some of them can be devastating, for example alcoholism. The adoration of celebrities is a type of catharsis relaxing people, but it is not an advantageous one, since it causes loss of money and strange situations.
The admiration of celebrities creates an unfair financial environment. In China an average person works for 12 hours a day and can only earn $150 according to the statistics. In contrast Lady Gaga can earn $150,000 only for one concert and Christiana Rinaldo’s annual income is above $1,500,000. These celebrities might be really important for the public, but do they actually deserve every penny they earn? Is the poor Chinese laborer any less industrious than they are?
Along with these unjust conditions overrated interest in celebrities makes people do senseless things. Britney Spears baby’s poop had been sold for $200. For the sake of the religious leader of the Scientology and his commandments thousands of people left their families and stop seeing them. There are unfortunate incidents in which a poor fan commits suicide because her/his proposal to take a sign of a famous figure was rejected. Overreaction to anything may engender bizarre results. However, in terms of the admiration of celebrities, these bizarre results are pretty perspicuous.
Lastly, the celebrities are not the only catharsis for the people. Of course mother Terissa was a great person who helped Indian people and brought peace to the region. Nevertheless, throughout the history the deed assumed by mother Theresa was executed by different numerous things. Religion arts and ideologies can be catharses as well. Buddhism had brought peace to India in ancient times, the orientalist architecture adorned the country and Gandhi saved the country with his ideology. The celebrities are only the trend catharsis for the current and era. Maybe next time it will be social media.
Although the celebrities help public to extend, considering the unjust financial situation, strange events and interchangeability of the agent society, does not actually need celebrities.
