The admiration young people hold for celebrities is not a new phenomenon.
Throughout/During history, youths have been inspired by people with outstanding
athletic ability. It is argued that this admiration brings with it more positive than
negative issues/ramifications. This will be proven by looking at how sports figures
both instill inspiration and teach life lessons to young people.
Firstly, celebrities often display extremely developed skills, which can help to spur
young people towards being/a life full of physically active. For instance, school
children are often driven to exercise in an attempt to become/emulate superstars,
such as Sachin Tendulkar, Li Na and Kobe Bryant. As this additional exercise is good
for their health, it is difficult to argue that the inspiration celebrities bestow/leave
upon young people is entirely a bad thing. Thus, this shows that the admiration
people hold for sports stars has positive implications/reasons.
Although the negative character figures/traits of many sports celebrities are often
called into question, it is felt the public mistakes professional athletes make can act
as good morality lessons for young people. A good exhibition/image of this occurred
when Canadian runner Ben Johnson dishonorably lost an Olympic gold medal due to
steroid use. This incident showed young people around the world that drug use is a
shameful practice. As this example illustrates/is shown, often the public errors
athletes commit can act as good lessons for adolescents.
After looking at the above, it is felt to hold athletes in esteem does not bring with it
entirely negative consequences. It is assumed the historical admiration people will
retain/retain for sports stars is not going to change into the foreseeable future.
