How can anybody be expected to adhere to good morals if people who are looked upon as role models are so corrupt, themselves? Who are we to look to if these celebrities, athletes, even politicians have done so much wrong? From former President Bill Clinton to Tiger Woods, where will the corruption end?
Tiger Woods. Multi-millionaire. Super-talented golfer. Wife. Children. Monetarily successful. Never had a scandal...until now.
It's so unfortunate that Tiger Woods is also another stereotypical famous person who commits adultery. Not that the media helps at all with its constant propaganda and badgering, but Woods knew that anything he did would eventually be out in the public eye. He always had such a clean slate, the ideal role model! I quite liked Tiger Woods and his amazing putts on the golf course. But now I can't help but feel crushed myself, as if he had personally made me feel bad. If people such as Tiger Woods, who appeared to be spotless and moral, can commit such immoral deeds, then what about the rest of us?
In today's society, celebrities are quite often set upon pedestals as the leading examples for the rest of us "common folk." Well, they are nothing more than humans, just like us. But being in the spotlight constantly, they should realize the repercussions of their actions. They know that many people, children and adults alike look up to them for guidance. People do what they see being done.
So, celebrities, politicians, you famous people. Get your acts together! Stop cheating on your wives and husbands, stop using steroids, what are you trying to prove?
