Celebrities in politics Essay

I will get straight to the point, I believe that when celebrities get mingled in governing they draw prudence away from the actual political issues and campaigns at hand.Having film stars in politics for endorsements will definitely draw a crowds and more(prenominal)importantly votes. Because raft love and become inspired by the characters played by an singular and in the end they be in fact become blind by who that item-by-item really is. It is as if you give a insidious person, or as I will refer to him as, an venomous helping some candy. Now a politician by him self is an fiendish dower who does non have candy. Without the candy it is very hard for an evil dower to attract little infantren into a car alone as soon a candy, or even better a childs favorite candy is introduced, this when put into context organism a favorite actor, that is all the child sees and is blinded to whomever posses the candy, thus getting into the car. This in essence is basically the reaction of an obsessed fan when celebrities become involved in politics.If you really want to dissect the purpose for celebrities in politics, or laurels endorsements in general you are able to create sextette different categories, establishing credibility, attracting attention, associative benefits, psychographic connection, demographic connection and mass appeal. What does this all recollect? Absolutely nothing whole the reasons why celebrities are brought into an election are reasons that should be irrelevant to the voters. Most celebrities have never actually do any social fix, some of them are unaware of whats red ink on, in the past some celebrities have actually debated the ideals of another(prenominal) individual that was in there own party without actually knowing it.Up to now I have only been referring to actors as being celebrities but if we look it up in the dictionary, a celebrity is simply a far-famed person, renown fame. Doesnt that mean a politician could in fact al so be a celebrity? Yes,Julius Caesar, Napoleon Bonaparte, Abraham capital of Nebraska ,where politicians and celebrities in there own respect and got there fame from battles they won, world changing events they where part of. The difference between them and a modern day actors is they became famous for the things they did, it was who they where not a mask. But on the contrary this could also work against a politition, for instance Bill Clinton, we dont remember him for being the president who sent the most troops into war ever or getting the United States out of a 250 billion dollar debt, no, the runner thing that comes to mind when you hear Bill Clinton is Monica Lewinski.Im not saying he didnt do a lot of goodly things for the county Im just saying thats what he got the most publicity for. All this snip wasted just because they wanted to know if he lied. This is how celebrity gets in the way of politics, instead of speculating about impeaching the president for getting a blow job they should have been using there resources to gather more intelligence about terrorist activity in the middle east. At this time the president was no longer a polition, he was a celebrity, another Paris Hilton, instead of a tape it was a dress.Lets face it though, when it comes to celebrities and politics. Celebrities are simply more entertaining. Who would you rather see in an interview, Sonny Perdue (Governor or Georgia) or The Rock.
