Response to “Paparazzi : Scandalous?”

1.     Do you agree or disagree with the way celebrities are treated by the paparazzi?

I disagree with the way celebrities are treated by the paparazzi. The paparazzi are constantly being too involved with these celebrities' personal life. When they paparazzi try to take photos for the sake of publishing the latest news, the paparazzi put others and the celebrities' and their own life at risk. It is dangerous for both the celebrity and the paparazzi. Although celebrities are aware that anything that they do will be published, whether it is something good or not, but they always need to take responsibility for their actions. However, the paparazzi should learn to respect these celebrities' personal life, and avoid publishing false and offending content about their life.

2.     How far is too far?

Intruding and further investing their personal life crosses the line. This makes every celebrity feel uncomfortable and though, since celebrities are humans as well, they all have emotions.

3.     Why would the paparazzi use media networks to their advantage to post personal news about famous individuals? Is this right?

The paparazzi would use media networks to their advantage to post personal news about famous individuals because media networks are commonly used by almost everyone in different age groups. People who use the media network are able to access to the latest news about celebrities, which is much faster and accessible than magazines or newspapers. This isn't right because the paparazzi is displaying false information about these celebrities and invading their privacy.

4.     Research an appropriate paparazzi scandal that has occurred within the past few years. Do you agree or disagree with the way the celebrity was treated? Why or why not?

A paparazzi scandal occurred this year, and it was the Duchess Kate Middleton's nude scandal. She was sunbathing and topless, when French paparazzi had taken photos of her and posted them all over the Internet. I strongly disagree with the way Kate Middleton was treated by these paparazzi. Even though the newly crowned Duchess of Cambridge is a popular celebrity draw a lot of attention from public, but it is ridiculous to post her topless photographs since it is inappropriate. The treatment of Kate Middleton by the paparazzi was horrifying, and I hope any similar incidents will not happen again.

5.     How would you feel if someone invaded your privacy (cell phone, laptop, etc.)? Explain.

If someone invaded my privacy, I would feel very upset and disappointed. I don't appreciate people looking through my personal electronic devices, which contain many of my personal privacies just to obtain details about me and use it against me for other purposes. We should always treat people the same way as they would like to be treated, so that any this kind of invasion could be avoided.
