    QUESTION:
    Some people believe famous people’s support towards international aid organizations draws the attention to problems, while others think celebrities make the problems less important. Discuss both views and give your opinion.

    ANSWER:
    These days, many people owe a lot to celebrities who draw up great attention towards international aid organizations, for they have addressed the inequities by giving supports to NGOs and after that many followers would imitate them to do so. However, I take leave to doubt their influence on the welfare industry, since they never exert any moral change in essence, and they even make the problems less significant.
    Admittedly, it is true that famous people help to promote donations. We see a lot of celebrities contributing their wealth to foundations and NGOs to raise awareness of various issues. This itself is a double-win process, as they not only use their money in a meaningful way but also establish a positive reputation for themselves. International aid organizations receive an extra bonus from such behaviors because followers of those celebrities are so appealed by their personal characteristic that they are very likely to donate a little bit to show their loyalty and support. Therefore, there is invariably a booming in money raising every time when a celebrity joins a philanthropy activity.
    Nevertheless, such increment in money raising can not explain an uplifting effect from famous people, if datas were not examined in a long term. In the first place, the sudden popularity of international aids brings by celebrities mainly influence fans and followers. Technically, these people are not giving help to economically or socially deprived people by heart, but in a way to support their idols instead. Thus, in only a few occasions will those people offer help constantly and they are very likely to quit when their idols no longer do so or they simply stop following them. In the light of this, philanthropy activities are only a symbol rather than a meaningful behavior. And for this reason, they lose their initial significance and become less important.
    In a nutshell, although famous people draw up great attention to international aids, they are not promoting the humanity process profoundly. And as they are sometimes too powerful, they also push away attention to themselves rather than those ‘noble activities’.

    PS.
    if possible, I m looking forward to some logical suggestions =)
