Santa told a famous man in front of a flashing, well decorated chritmas
tree,"You could make three wishes, and just only three best wishes for the
coming new year." Would you be eager to know what are the three wishes? Then, he
wished :"firstly,may God send me my own calm and tranguil personal life without
any interevenation; Secondly,I want to keep myself and my family away from
spotlights and all the media focuses as far as possible. Last but not least,all
what I have wished is the very secret between God and me.
To think a well known man standing high above the masses, to our
surprise,was making such a hard and transparent living.It is certain that
everyone has their curiosity,and in their image- nation famous people are so
perfect that there should be no flaw in their lifetime.But how could that be? As
an old saying goes, "No man is infallible."In my opinion,therefore,media has
negative effects on their personal life.
I feel that this phenomenon suggests that those who are interested in
famous people's personal life are, in fact, jealous of their achivements. Almost
every successful figure has experienced failure, rubs and what they have owned
today proves that their efforts are paid off.A winner has a zest for life, work,
play, food , other people and the world of nature ,also enjoyshis own
accomplishments without guilty. Why do they soar when others sink? It depends on
your own effort and deligence.
A celebrated public figure has ever said," Winners have different
potentials. Achievement is not the most important thing. Authenticity is.The
authentic person experiences the reality of himself by known- ing himself, being
himself and becoming a credible, responsive person. Indeed television,magazines
and other media needn't pay so much atten- tion to the personal lives of famous
people such as public figures and celebraties.
Please never rehearse another tradegy of Diana ,a beloved British princess
who now may enjoy her calm life in the paradise .What most deeply impressed me
in Diana's eulogy is------ How great she suffering is ,we cannot even
imagine...

I think the media pay too much attention to the private lives of famous
people. Television, newspapers, magazines and web sites dig up all kinds of past
bad actions. They say that these are true reflections of a person's character.
This may be true if they occurred only a few years before, but some of these are
things people did as teenagers. People in their forties are expected to explain
something they did when they were fifteen. If they killed someone, obviously
that's more than a youthful mistake. Usually, though, these incidents involve
experiments with drugs or being reckless in a car. They're not something that
the public needs to know.
The media love to say that the public has a right to know. That's not true.
We don't need to know if a movie star or politician has had an extramarital
affair. That is something of concern only to the people involved. We do need to
know if someone we're electing to public office has been involved in shady
business deals, but we don't need to know if he or she defaulted on a loan
twenty years ago.
It seems the media dig up these facts without giving thoughtful
consideration to what might happen. It has an effect on the celebrity's family,
especially the children. A celebrity's good name and credibility may be ruined
before he or she can prove that rumors are false. If a case goes to court,
paying a lawyer can use up all their money. Even if it doesn't come to that,
they may find their career ruined.
When are we, the public, going to make it clear to the media that we're
tired of having to watch this kind of thing on the news? Wouldn't it be better
if they would concentrate on more important issues?
