Student A, roleplay a conversation with Student B. You think there should be stricter control of the
press in terms of people's privacy. Newspapers should not be allowed to print stories about the private lives of public figures and famous celebrities because:
• damaging: psychologically to friends and family • dangerous: running away from paparazzi/ encourages spying
• unfair: can't move around freely in public
• your ideas
Firstly, it can be really damaging, psychologically, to the friends and family of these public figures and celebrities. When personal information is exposed, it can cause emotional distress and harm to their loved ones. Imagine how you would feel if personal details from your life were splashed all over the news without your consent. It's important to consider the well-being of others.
Secondly, it can be dangerous for these public figures and celebrities. Sometimes, paparazzi can be very intrusive and relentless in their pursuit of a story. They might chase after them, invading their personal space and making it difficult for them to go about their lives. This not only encourages spying, but it can also put the safety of these individuals at risk. They should be able to feel safe and secure even when they are in public.
Lastly, it's simply unfair that these public figures and celebrities can't move around freely in public without the fear of their private lives being exposed. They should have the same rights to privacy that we do. Just because they are famous doesn't mean they should be denied basic rights to personal privacy.
So, based on these reasons, I believe there should be stricter control of the press to protect people's privacy. It's important to strike a balance between the public's right to know and an individual's right to privacy.
