I am writing a persuasive speech on whether celebrities are good role models and I need both sides of the argument. If you could help me by giving me your opinion and examples it would be much appreciated.

Good not necessarliily, although their power does make them a rolemodel!

No they are not. A good role model would be closer to home, and loved for who they are, not their popularity, fame, or money. If someone takes a celebrity as a role model because of fame or money, then all the things they do, they will be doing because 'it's what's popular.' If they take a role model for their values, they will do what they do because they feel like that's what will make them a good person.

If a popularity role model is followed, and the model changes their ways, but is still popular, it tells the follower that this new thing is OK (could end good or bad.) If somebody is followed because of what they do good, and they change, the follower should be able to recognize these changes for good or bad, and re-asses weather to follow.

I think some celebrities are good role models, the likes of Julia Roberts that can have three children and still work, that's setting a really good example for her children.
Drew Barrymore has shone through what she went through as a child is a good role model. Her mother being a drug addict and not having much of a life when she was younger, look at her now.
Kate Hudson is another one, her mother is a movie star, her biological father left Goldie when Kate was a baby so she looked up to her step father Kurt Russell.
Im sure there's so many more that have had a different life experience but have come through with shining colours.

Its Ok But Follow Little Bit What They Do In Movies But They R Nothing In Real Life So Dont Go For That

Some celebrities are good people just looking to make a dime, but others ride their news coverage because its really all they have and will besmirch anything to keep it going. Its an argument that can really go either way
