Privacy


The power of media is stronger and stronger at this time. The journalists can find every detail of people’s life especially famous people by the way of modern technology if they want. So a large number of famous people complained that they did not have the private life. Their privacies need to protect, the journalists should not follow them all the time. For this situation my opinion is that the famous people need to be followed all the time, but the journalists have to restrain themselves.

First, famous people especially politicians have the stronger power than common people, even someone are the global role models. Most people especially children not only follow their actions but also follow their thinking. So their actions and speaking also need to be supervised all the time because of may be their action or speaking could influence people’s actions and thinking. If they do not have the supervisions by the media, perhaps they would do something for enjoying themselves that break the moral standards.

On the other hand the famous people have the rights that protect their privacies. So the journalists also have the responsibilities to control their report. They have to have some rules to avoid their report trouble famous people’s normal life. The rules mean that if famous people’s actions and speaking do not break the moral and law standards, their privacies have to be protect.

If famous people are not being supervised, perhaps their action and speaking should harm the society. But if the rules and laws do not protect famous people’s legitimate rights which protect their privacies. Our society could not maintain a great improvement.
