Should celebrities be held to a different standard that everyone else? I in fact, think that yes, they should. Well, no. They shouldn't. But as a society, we put them in that position that we look at their standards. So, I think that celebrities should be held not just to a different standard, but a higher standard. I think that since celebrities are every where, a lot of people tend to look up to them. In the next few paragraphs I will explian my thinking.
I think that the fact that they are everywhere, and people see them on the internet, on TV, in newspapers, and on billbords they know someone is always wathcing them. Just waiting for them to mess up. Waiting for them to make one wrong move. They don't really look at the good, just pick out the bad. So they should step it up to the plate, there's no reason to set a bad example. Because of this reason, I think that they should set a higher standard or example for the many who are actually watching them. So people will see that they do more good and try to do the same.
So many kids and few adults would like to become like one of them. Therefore they act the way that the celebrities act. If celebrities do a good deed, they will want to do the same, but people rarely pick out the good. So once they see a celebrity slip, they do the same. They start acting the way that they do which is not always a good idea.
I think that in today's society, there's not really a way to fix this, it's just the way that it is. Once you are a celebrity, you kind of set or sign yourself up for the task of being an example. You basically are the one who is going to show everyone your standards by your actions. This should not be done though.
In conclusion, I don't like that this is the way it is. Yes, of course celebrites should be held to show higher standards. But as human beings, I think that we should not watch thier every move and we should find more of the good. We should stop comparing ourselves to everything that celebrities or anybody does, just be happy and content with how you act all on your own.

You did a great job! I too agree that they should be held to a higher standard than us. The length of your essay is a lot better this time! One thing however I think you could work on is being more clear with your reasoning. In the conclusion how you said "I don't think that this is the way it is" I can sort of understand you. Just be more clear on what this is and the way it is. Great job overall!!!
I agree with you when you say people rarely point out the good. How many times to people talk behind somebody's back about how fantastic, talented, or nice that person is? I suspect it is less than the times they poke fun, criticize, or gossip.
