Reading the news these days, it is loaded with the antics of celebrities committing crimes and living lives of irresponsible excess, disregard for any law, and promiscuousness. Now i’m no prude and have absolutely spent time having polite and controlled fun in my more youthful years, but is it really essential for the media to give full attention to drugged out, or drunken celebrities making fools of themselves on a regular basis at clubs? Nevertheless, countless young people today look up to these people, as if there’re gods simply because they are wealthy, pretty or famous. Have good morals and values taken a back seat to hard partying as well as lack of respect for other people? It’s difficult for anybody brought up with discipline and scruples to comprehend this. It appears that American society has become cheapened by all this over the top mayhem.

Not too long ago, Paris Hilton ended up being let out of jail, just after serving merely three days of her drunken driving sentence. Regardless how her attorneys attempt to argue and defend it, her discharge exhibits a blantant disregard for the law. The average citizen would certainly by no means get off of a serious charge so easily. Paris was “confined” to her residence, wearing an ankle bracelet, and talking on her cellphone as though absolutely nothing ever happened. Home confinement wasn’t even a slap on the wrist to her. For somebody who has made her living partying, and disregarding authority, allowing her to finish her sentence at home just goes to prove that money talks. Meanwhile, that jail is certainly packed with other females serving similar sentences, who in no way got preferential treatment, and also must finish out their time in the jail like everybody else. What ever happened to freedom and justice for all? It makes me wonder.

Rather than focusing on the notorious, arrogant and spoiled celebrities; relevant news and attention would certainly be better used featuring people who truly deserve it. You can find good and respectable celebrities such as Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt, who have invested much time and money giving to charitable causes. Their purpose in life is apparent, to help other people and also make the world a much better place. However, the press hounds them for shallow issues, focusing on more superficial problems instead of concentrating on the problems these celebrities work so hard to support. If the world is to be a much better place, the press must begin paying attention more on people who are making a positive change in the world, as well as spending less time centered on hard-partying former child stars, obviously useless and immoral celebutantes, and other people whose only contribution to the world in the long run is scandal and outrageous behavior. Teach the public to become more interested in relevant matters, and much less focused on the superficial. Focusing on what’s good and wholesome may well raise public expectations and help to make us less focused on people who are not worthy of attention and fame.
