Hollywood
What comes to your mind when one hears Hollywood? I know some of may think about, money, the
extravagant life style, and bad influences. Well as for some when they hear the
word Hollywood, they think about morals values, money and entertainment.
Hollywood can influence people in a positive or in a negative way. Although
others may disagree and say Hollywood influence teens in a negative way,
Hollywood also influences teens in a positive way. I acknowledge the opponent
side but I strongly disagree that Hollywood plays a negative role in people’s
lives.
Firstly, Hollywood plays a big role in the entertainment cultural. Hollywood is providing products to the
marketplace. Hollywood is a big part of our culture and economy. Also when you
think about it is also plays a huge part in America. Entertainment sometimes
relaxes people after a long day of work or school. There is T.V shows made to
make people laugh if they are in a sad or bad mood. What would the world be
like without entertainment especially in the United States? That question is
for you to think about.
The opposing side may say Hollywood film glorify sex and violence,
which attacks the moral values of all societies leading the young ones astray. Not
all Hollywood movies are about pornographic or violent. Hollywood actually
promotes the independent worth of each human life. There are possibilities of
individual success through hard work and dedication. There are Hollywood movies
that portray the history and culture of this country. For example the movie
Roots tell the past history of the United States. This movie reminds us about who
we are and what we need to do to make things better. There are T.V shows that
help people as well. An example is the celebrity rehab, this show help alcohol
and drug users to get sober and they are given treatment to help them live a
better life without being a drug abuser or alcoholic. Now is that being a
negative influence on people or is it helping others. Well it is up to you to
think.
There
are Hollywood actors, singers, rappers and actresses who are making a
difference in people who are less fortunate lives. For example when the Earth Quake hit Haiti,
the singer Wyclef Jean helped a lot with resources for the people of Haiti.
Also there were other singers and rapper put together to rise awareness about
what was going on by remaking the song “We are the world” for Haiti. Also some
of the actor and actresses went down to Haiti to help. Another example is when
Katrina hit, there were celebrities who donated money and helped a lot to get
people on their feet. Helping is a good
example for children to learn from. This also plays a positive role in
Hollywood which shows they care about others. Celebrities have foundation and
charities to help children and adults.
