Media Ethics, Privacy and Entertainment

Did you ever feel pity for a person who was made fun of while laughing watching one of the TV show? Have you ever imagined yourself in Britney Spears shoes, having to be followed by paparazzis all the time, and having to explain herself and every little detail of her life to journalists? Remember the story of Bill Clinton and Monica Lwensky and how it was uncoverd for the public.
If you are a public figure or a celebrity, how far the public can know about your private life? Is a price that you ahve to pay for being popular and rich or in power? or do the media people have some limits drawn by their ethical and professional standards?
Can we make fun of people in public and make their secterts known to every one for the sake of finanial reward?
how ethical is it to make fun of people particiapating reality shows (e.i.Star Academy, Super Star and X factor)?
How do you think this dilema can be settled, by the journalists (media people) themselves or external organizations and bodies or by celebrities theselves? as people can argue that celebrities bring this to themselves by exposing themselves and their families to the mass media

Hi every one this is nora Al Ali:

Becoming famous person it's some thing very nice and amazing, but at the same time it's very difficult and hard for any one that dream to be famous and popular in his/her region, or around the world. Know am going to explain why it's startling to be very popular and it is hard at the same time. Any one of us like to be very popular and also like people to know him/her, but not to know every single detail about their personal lives because every person on this earth has some privacy and don’t like any one to know about it. And it's hard because we should be careful in any thing we do and we say ,I feel this is some thing very difficult for any one to do because no one can control his self % their must be some thing wrong we do ,or we say.

I don’t know why people were shocked when they heard some kind of gossip about any famous actor, or singer or any popular person in the world all of us we made and we still make many mistakes or some times we could do some thing more than this people do .that's why we should see our self mistakes first then we see others mistakes for example: when Britney Spears shave her hair all people around the world were shocked about this thing and they start to sprit many stories and roamers about her and she not the only or the first women who shaved her hair especially in Europe most of women shaved their hair the consider it as anew look so whey we didn't say some thing about them and we see it some thing normal all this because they are not some thing popular or we cant see them in television.

In my opinion we should control our mind and our thinking and be more kind and picheint when we heir some thing about any one even if we don’t know him ,or her especially when it is some popular person because this people they spend most their time to give make us happy ,or to give us some thing to learn for example we should think about any actor that act in movies and series the spend all most all their time dong movies and series to make us happy .or not feel boring ,however their is some people don’t respect them and think only about their mistake if they do so. As I see it all of us we have rights, but popular people have more right's than we have because their life is more sensitive than our life's.
