With the increasing competition among a medley of different media, newspapers, magazines, and even the Internet are putting out stories of people’s private lives to gain the attention of the public. Yet, this way of boosting sales is hard for me to accept.
Therefore, it is my strong recommendation for the government to ban such practice, which is against moral principles. Seemingly, this problem is not serious enough to be prohibited by the government. However, to expose one’s privacy is an insult to his or her dignity. Indeed, in the society, everyone, whether a celebrity or an ordinary person, is allowed to enjoy the right of privacy without any infringement. Meanwhile, no one expects that his or her private story gets published and becomes the laughing stock shared by all.
It is true that man is born to be on tiptoe for privacy with curiosity. Nevertheless, it is by no means a sufficient reason to allow the practice of making public people’s privacy. As a consequence, it would encourage an immoral conduct of nosing into others’ privacy. Indeed, some teenagers who have read the information describing the affairs of a movie star could be under the wrong impression about love.
As far as the public is concerned, some private stories give a misleading example of love and marriage. In fact, some newspapers and magazines are teeming with the photos and articles detailing the new girlfriends or boyfriends of celebrities, which contributes to the disturbing mindset that marriage is no longer as important and sacred as before.
In view of the above undesirable impacts, it is reasonable to assume that the practice of printing privacy is detrimental to our social ethics. It is my earnest request to our government that such practice should be forbidden in the form of law. Furthermore, it is the obligation of all citizens to respect and value other people’s privacy.
