We have discussed how fame can change the people around an individual, develop large trust issues, and also about how fame can change the world for better or for worse. Entertainers have proven time and time again, that fame changes lives of everyone involved. The actor Gary Coleman discovered that his fame changed his parent’s intentions. The death of pop star, Michael Jackson, demonstrates that a great deal of fame greats a great deal of trust issues that affects lives. Also, Magic Johnson proves that fame can change the world in a positive way while the rappers, Tupac Shakur and Biggie Smalls prove that fame can change the world in a negative way.
Overall, like anything in life, fame is what you make it. Unfortunately, people do not consider the ups and downs of fame. They do not consider the bad aspects of fame such as the pressure fame puts on an individual, or the feeling of always being in the “public eye” and involuntarily becoming a role model to millions. According to Albert Einstein, being famous is not the “fairy-tale ending” that everyone expects it to be. Albert Einstein states, “It is strange to be known so universally and yet to be so lonely,” when asked about dealing with fame.
When becoming famous, think about the changes that are going to be made. Analyze the good and the bad affects of fame. Is fame going to impact your life negatively or positively? Are you going to use fame to change in the world negatively or positively? Fame is a very hard aspect to handle, but with the right amount of focus and common sense, fame could very well be handled.
