The beautiful silver sky may have lightening in their womb form. Thank you my dear madam speaker. Assalamualaikum and a very good day to the wise and honourable adjudicators, the alert and punctual time keeper, my fellow teammates, the misleading government team and MOTH. First and foremost, i would like to refute the definition given by the government team.
Allow me to re-define today’s motion. Merriam-Webster Online Dictionary defines ‘celebrities’ as ‘famous or celebrated people’. In Oxford Dictionaries, the phrase ‘make for’ means ‘tend to result in or be received as (a particular thing):’ ‘Bad’ means ‘unfavourable’.Lastly, ‘role model’ means ‘person looked to by others as an example to be imitated’. So, the full definition of today’s motion is ‘famous or celebrated people are received as an unfavourable person to be looked to by others as an example to be imitated’. Now, please allow me to rebut the point given by the Prime Minister.
He/She claims that ____________________________________________________________ __________________________________________ But that is not true because ____________________________________________________________ _________________________________________ Before i go on with my arguments, i would like to stress that my team mates and i are totally disagree with the motion today that says ‘Celebrities Make For Bad Role Models’. Now, please allow me to introduce my team mates. I as the first speaker will talk about ‘influence’. My second speaker will further strengthen our team’s stand on this motion with her 2 arguments of ‘perseverance’ and ‘social obligation’.
Last but not least, my third speaker will rebut all misleading points raised by the government team.It is nothing but just to be with the trend we land up making celebrities our role models. Many of teenagers, mainly young people carry pictures of celebrities they look up to them and treat them as gods. Dr.
Charlotte De Backer of the University of Leicester, Department of Media and Communication, carried out a study to try to explain why we are so obsessed with celebrities. She discovered that the younger the participant was, the more apt they were to follow celebrity gossip, even if the gossip was about celebrity that they had never heard of. They also said that celebrities who came from other cultures were more “prestigious” than the celebrities of their own culture. Dr.
De Backer calls this the Para social Hypothesis. Celebrities act as good reflections for us. When Larry King has a heart attack and tells his audience how it prompted him to stop smoking, he inspires. Same goes to Michael J. Fox for Parkinson’s. When Teri Hatcher reveals that her uncle sexually abused her, it makes it easier for us to admit that it happened to us as well.
When Britney Spears is brought to the hospital and evaluated for bipolar disorder, we feel differently about our own depression. When another politician is caught having sex with someone not his spouse and tries to squirm out of it, we see our own reluctance to reveal our own secrets. So the impact of celebrities can be positive. This is called inspiration PEOPLE! There are many good celebrities that influence us in a very positive way, but they are rarely thought about or given recognition. These celebrities include, Julia Roberts, Rosie O'Donnell and Oprah.
They are a good influence because the general public look at them and celebrities have power because of who they are, their talent, and their media. They influence society and the world in a positive way and they are ambassadors of the society they are from to the rest of the world. They are part of each one of us and transcend the essence of their generation. They are simply stars.
Our individual life, our society, and the world shine because of them. They do not seek power but just get it and use it! Famous personalities have been used to endorse products for many years. Many consider celebrities as a great way to attract customers.A good celebrity-product association can capture a viewer's attention, increase the public's awareness of the product, and cause consumers to purchase the product endorsed. The year 2008, marketing executives at Totes Isotoner, a Cincinnati company that had spent the previous 30 years churning out a reliable lineup of humble umbrellas, crowded around a computer and listened to a teenage singer from Barbados named Rihanna breeze through a tune titled, appropriately, “Umbrella.
” See how helpful celebrities can be, not only they influence us to achieve our dream they also help our economy
