Scorify.uzQuestions and sample answers
Why are people interested in the lives of celebrities?
Because their lives seem exciting and different from ordinary life. People enjoy comparing themselves with celebrities and following their stories like an ongoing television series.
Do celebrities have a responsibility to be good role models?
Yes, since millions of young people watch them. They do not need to be perfect, but they should avoid promoting harmful behaviour.
Is fame always positive?
No. Famous people lose their privacy, and a single mistake can be criticised by millions online. The pressure can seriously affect their mental health.
Should celebrities' private lives be protected?
I believe so. Public work can be discussed, but photographing their families or homes without permission is intrusive and not necessary for the public interest.
Why do some young people want to become famous?
They see fame as a route to money and admiration. Social media has made it look easy, but only a tiny number of people actually achieve lasting success.
