An opinion essay by Guillem Roset

The press has a right to publish photographs and information about the private life celecrities?

The private life of celebrities always has been a matter that caused a lot of morbidness and atraction to the press. However, in my opinion, this kind of press usually is so rude with the private life of celebrities publishing a lot of stupid things and things that aren't important about their lives.


Firstly, it is well-known that celebrities are also humans. With this, I'm saying that they have the right to live with privacy too. Because nobody likes living with a group of people that are telling to the world all the things that you do during all the day.

Secondly, constant attention from paparazzi and reporters can affect the mental healith of a celebrity.

In conclusion, I am convinced that celebrities without the constant follow-up that do the paparazzi, will be more pleasant and friendly with all common people from the streets, because those people go into the streets being suspicious of people.

Opinion essay by Alba Carbonell



The press has a right to publish photographs and information about the private life of celebrities

Since the past century, paparazzis have had an increasing and unstoppable presence in gossip magazines and tabloids, making a living by infiltrating stars’ private lives and getting big, outstanding headlines out of every little move they make. This has come to such extreme that society is starting to wonder to what extent celebrities’ right of privacy gets.
In my view, this job has very little ethical principles and has a big impact on the people’s personal lives, as they are constantly attacked by flashing cameras everywhere they go, and are always being analysed as if they were some subject of study.
What is more, paparazzis get great amounts of money for the big news they publish about that person, no matter if that is affecting his or her mental health, and causing them stress or depression. This kind of job, in my opinion, is completely useless to society, and only brings uninteresting facts disguised in big news to a public who is too reticent to listen to real news.
In conclusion, I believe without a shadow of doubt that celebrities have the same right that everyone else to have their privacy respected, and that it is their choice what they want to show people and what they don’t.

A topic essay by Núria Sans

                                         A TOPIC ESSAY


Sometimes, when I search for some information from Internet it is not possible to get rid of celebrities photos or gossips; It is also not possible to avoid popular programmes on television talking about private celebrities' life ; or even when you go to the dentist the gossip magazines are there prepared to be read by everyone waiting for their turns.
Due to this I asked myself what is happening in our country with the private life of actors, singers, actress, writers ….famous and rich people.

On the one hand, it is said that if you are famous or rich you should accept to be in the public eye, so people getting information about your private moments shouldn't be reason for anger. On the other hand it is also said that the media, the press have the right to publish any news about celebrities that could be considered important to their audience .
What do I think about all this staff?

First of all I believe all human beings in the world have the right to privacy. If any rich or famous person doesn't want to let anybody know about what he or she does, eats, wears or says, he or she is within his or her right. His or her opinion must be respected.The media doesn’t have the right to publish all sorts of personal information about them.
Sometimes the Press try to convince us that celebrities need advertising to keep his fame and it is true but if only both parts, celebrity and media agreed . Of course, if people use the media attention to achieve success, later it is going to be very difficult to get rid of it.
When celebrities feel badly and anxious with emotional problems because of paparazzi publishing stories that may destroy lives and careers, then we can say there's a real problem.

Secondly I also take into account that everything has an effect. When some famous or rich people are not enjoying their privacy because of the mass media, this may have a negative effect on his or her family , children and friends. They must be treated as all human beings.

In conclusion, I'm convinced that they must have their private life as anyone else in the world. And I think people should be more conscious about the big industry of this kind of business ( celebrities and press and mass media).

An opinion essay by Abel García

Are video games a good way to keep fit?

Nowadays, many teenagers have got video consoles at home and they often play active video games. These are good for you for a numbers of reasons.

Firstly, I think that active video games are a good way to keep fit. These are lots of different types of exercise you can do such as basketball, water-skiing and dance and, what's more, you can play them in the comfort or your own home. In my opinion, these games are fun and interactive because you can play them with friends and, if you play online, you don't need to be in the same place as your friend to play together.

In addition, you can play them whenever you want. Some people think that it is better to do exercise outside in the fresh air. Although this is true, it is actually difficult to play outside when it is raining or it is very hot, so video games are a good alternative.

In conclusion, I believe that video games are a fun and social way to keep fit. I think they are a good option when you can't play outside and they might encourage people to do more exercise.

An opinion essay by Nina Atiega Rubió

An opinion essay

I am against that celebrities are filmed in their most intimate moments and having no privacy, because if I get myself in their place I would not like it.

I think that celebrities are people like us, who have the right to privacity in their lives. They know that the price of being famous is too high. Also they are aware that their life will be on television and people think they know them better and also about their business because they get paid for that, but they do not agree that their intimate moments are filmed.

I think when you go home it isn't nice to see someone following you and taking photos of you. Celebrities must be always in a hurry because they are always persecuted. It's true that when they need to advertise something, they turn to the media.

I would like privacy because if you are at home, they can judge your work but not your life. Also, there are some celebrities who take advantage of the tabloids because they don't get all the fame they would like and meanwhile on TV they are talking about them.

In summary, my opinion is that I am against the paparazzi that are chasing celebrities, even in the most private and intimate moments. We all like being able to judge the lives of others but if we think about it, being famous is not as much fun as it sounds because you have no privacy and this is a very important factor in a person's life.

Opinion Essay by Laura Rodríguez

"The press has a right to publish photographs and information about the private life of celebrities"

It is said that celebrities can't have privacity because they are famous and they are known for eveyone and for that reason, their lifes have to be public. But personally, I don't believe that this is a good idea.

First of all, I would like to say that taking photos about private lifestyles can be denounced if the celebrities get angry because they have a right to privacy as all humans have. Moreover, there are some studies which say that people might have mental problems: Firstly, celebrities have to be always ready for photos, questions... and secondly, public who read about celebrities due to the fact that they can get obsessed with famous gossips and they will need more everyday.

To sum up I can say that everyone must have their own privacy because if you get angry when someone laugh at something embarrassing you have done, you can't laugh at someone else' embarrassing situations.

A topic essay by Júlia Quintillà

'The press has a right to publish photographs and information about the private life of celebrities.' Do you agree?

Nowadays, technology offers great possibilities to the press because they can provide information so quickly. Some people suggest that celebrities should accept that losing their privacy is the price they pay for fame. Personally, I do not believe this.

Firstly, I believe that all humans beings have a right to privacy as they usually are famous because of their job whether they are actors, singers or anything else. Moreover, the more the public read about celebrities, the more obsessed they become with finding out moreand this is a huge problem since celebrities can't do their life normally.

Secondly, people get a lot of enjoyment from reading about their favourite celebrities. Therefore, the more information the press give, the more interest people have.

In conclusion, I'm convinced that the constant attention from paparazzi and reporters can affect the mental health of a celebrity. So, in my view, the press should stop giving a lot of information about famous people.

A topic essay, by Oana Mosutiu

Nowadays we are able to find out about any famous person's life only by browsing the internet for a couple of minutes or buying the magazines that are sold near our houses. We can not only be informed of general facts of their lives, but also of private things that easily come to light. As far as I am concerned, I do not believe this is right, because although they are people known by everyone, they have the right of keeping facts of their lives in privacy.

Firstly, we must be aware of the fact that all human beings have a right to privacy, so the press shouldn't publish things that celebrities don't want to. Of course they need publicity to remain in the public eye, but there must be some limits that shouldn't be crossed.

Secondly, it is known that constant attention from paparazzi and reporters can affect the mental health of a celebrity, so this is another good reason for the press to be careful while trying to find out about the latest gossips.

As I see it, the public has the right of knowing what is happening in celebrities' lives, but celebrities have a right to privacy, so there must be a balance between this in order to please everyone.
