Celebrity Treatment

To ordinary people like me, we see celebrities as idols. We believe that celebrities are greater than us just because they are famous, they're talented, and have fulfilled many achievements. (Kim Kardashian is not an example of these yet she's famous just because she's famous). With this in mind, does that mean that regular people aren't as good as celebrities? No, of course not. We can do the same things celebrities can do. However, we treat them differently because they are known, they are the face of our culture and we feel that they shouldn't be punished because of that.

We don't want our favourite celebrities to be punished because we love them. We love them for their talent such as dancing, singing, playing a sport, etc. We admire what they can do and try to follow in their example. Sometimes, their actions aren't always responsible or moral yet we don't want anything bad to happen to them because our feelings toward them. Our feelings overpower their irresponsible behaviour and actions and that's why fans are willing to put so much when it comes to overlooking our favourite celebrity's misbehaviours.

Despite overlooking their misbehaviours, it still isn't right. If regular people faced the same problems as celebrities did, we would face the consequences. Unlike celebrities, we don't have the money to pay for damage done on property or bail ourselves or the influence to change the decisions of authority. Celebrities don't face the serious consequences because of our culture. Our culture sees celebrities as greater people who are above the law. While for some people that may be true, but as a community, that is not fair for everyone.
