※ 引述《jennyQ (心如止水)》之銘言： : 3. Do you agree or disagree with the following statement? Television, : newspapers, magazines, and other media pay too much attention to the : personal lives of famous people such as public figures and celebrities. : Use specific reasons and details to explain your opinion. : I agree that media pay too much attention on celebrities's privacy. ^the to x ^^^^^^^* (add "the" in front of "media" everywhere) *What they're paying attention to is not "the issue of privacy", but rather, their "private life". : Famous people are not only public properties but private indivisuals. xxxx* d *I don't think we can or should regard them as properties. : They have basic human rights just as you and me. They pay for fame. Media ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^* *"They pay for fame" could also mean that they pay money to become famous. Perhaps a better way to say it is "They pay the price of fame." : chase them for uncovering their private behavior, character, and integrity. : Their everything seems have to come under scrutiny. Fans may regard their : idols as role models. However, some coverage is misleading, confusing right : and wrong, and producing profound negative impacts on the growth of younger : generations. : The responsibility of media is to tell the truth of more important things, : not to grab attention by using sensational and fake stories. Reporting : privacy may be equal to personal assult, which is harmful to the people ^^^^^^^ assault : concerned and their family. Some irresponsible reprots may also ruin the : career and even life of a famous personage. It's vicious to spread one's : privacy, especially those slander. ^^^^^^^ *Again, "privacy" is the concept or quality of being private. It's meaning and usage is closer to that of "privateness". What the media reports on is people's private lives, affairs, deeds, etc. : Citizens have the right to know the truth about and supervise celebrities, : and media have the right to tell. However, no one has the right to violate ^^^^^ responsibility? : and derogate others' privacy. Though this kind of reports will urge famous ^^^^^^^*This is correct! : people refrain from some indecent behavior, focusing on their private things ^to : such as love affairs and shopping lists is useless to society. Paying : attention on those p's and q's is boring. Reporting more about profesional to : aspects of celebrities is far more important than their private life. No major problems here except for the use of the word "privacy".
