It is a common phenomenon that nowadays people tend to pay attention to celebrities’ opinions. Some people contend that the views of celebrities are more significant to younger generations than they are to older people. I strongly agree with this opinion, especially when people’s age and social media influence are taken into consideration.

First, compared to older people, younger generations are more likely to be affected by celebrities. This is because many of those young people are now still juveniles, and their opinions and values have not been entrenched yet. So, they may think famous people can offer some valuable insights to them. The ways suggested by celebrities in terms of food, clothes, and even important decisions in life like a career path are worth trying. By contrast, older people are more mature in general, and they have a mind of their own. Consequently, the older generations will probably ignore the opinions that famous people hold and stick to their ideas.

Second, social media like Instagram and Facebook assert more influence on younger people than on older people. Nowadays, young people immerse themselves in social media to know about celebrities’ views and thoughts for hours every day. And studies have shown that people would be affected more by the information on social media if they were exposed to them more. By contrast, since older people have little chance to get in touch with celebrities’ ideas for less time the old spend on social media, their opinions are less significant than to younger people. One example of this is that we can easily see a great number of students gather together online discussing certain celebrities’ statements for long hours. However, few of them are adults or even older people.

In conclusion, celebrities’ views are more valuable to younger people than they are to older people.
