Why can't Celebrity and Culture just get along?

The concept of 'Online Celebrity' or 'Celebrity centric society' is argued constantly as a negative driver within current day youth. I think the issues is valuable and I can understand the concerns and risks but overall I find it hilarious that the same people or groups that espouse these concepts are generally either celebrities or rely on celebrities. Every morning show does hours on how celebrities are destroying youth and then have a entire segment about what crazy thing so-and-so has done. It's plainly hypocritical! I think culture, family and friends is far more impactful, powerful and important than celebrities online or otherwise but I have met people that mirror their life around the Kardashians or the Hiltons which I find incredibly sad. However I think a fraction of the celebrity concept should be utilised, maintained and is incredibly positive. The effect someone like Matthew Cowdry, a paralympian who has 11 Gold Medals and is Australia's most awarded paralympian, should be supported. I don't mind celebrity sports people or film celebrities or politicians or world leaders but shouldn't we only care if they actually give something to society or propel us to excel! A celebrity shouldn't be followed because they have money or connections or do something each week but because they prove that humanity is wonderful, brilliant and awe inspiring. Usain Bolt is the fastest man alive isn't that just fascinating, Nelson Mandela unified South Africa, Barack Obama is a black president in the USA, Colin Firth portrayed the lisped King better than anyone. We should be proud of accomplishments that drive society forward! People of science that expand our understanding or individuals that can our culture for the better.

Films have shown how great people who are rarely recognised changed us all for the better!

The 'Blind Side' shows how supporting someone no matter race or culture makes yourself and everyone around you a better person.

'Walk the Line' portrays how a great musician struggled and became a better person.

'Pursuit of Happyness" exemplifies the struggle of one man to support his family 

'Moneyball' shows how two men can change a sport and prove money doesn't produce the best sport person.

'We were Soldiers' shows the struggles of soldiers and their families.

'Thirteen Days' show how two presidents can put differences aside to save the world.

And finally 'The Godfather' is just so awesome! And everyone should watch it!
