The media are support to society in vital range of activities such as news supply, knowledge supplier, contain supplier, entertainment supplier so on. as the entertainment supplier the medias doing crucial role in community, it may be wide verity of programs given by themselves but we should manage to watch what we suit to me or my family, it is bit difficult task because they has small hidden verities to captures ourselves mindset and it may be addicted by us.
Among the entertainment programs, which large amount of conducted with with celebrators who different aspect of presenters. finely analyze these programs, they are more completed than what we seen in fount and large amount of presents are been given double meaning towards society and we should identify what they tells. the major impact to community because some of the celebrators are with their own profile and they make sense to changes peoples vision using their popularity and their ability of presentation. it might be harm or good think but also as per my experience majority is bad impressions to community.

From this kind of programs, the vital impact group is youngers, why they do not have much more experience to analyze the think what we watch and suddenly capture what they told without thinking and youngers are start to follow them which good or bad. this is the major impact to young generation upcoming mindset. and we should always manage what we take from media give to children.

Dear Mrs. Smith,

I hope this letter finds you well. Firstly, let me introduce myself, my name is Shesa I come far from Indonesia and am one of your students in Economics Class Grade 4. Currently, I am working full-time at Starbucks Monday to Saturday to survive my life because my family doesn't support me anymore because of financial problems. So I need to pay for my course by myself. And then, after working during the day, in the evening I should join your class. So, it is really exhausting.

Because of that, I need to work to save some amount to survive my life and save the amount to continue to your class.

So, with this letter, I want to inform you that I can't join your class anymore for a while because I need to work to survive my life because I am abroad by myself. I hope your generous to give me a break for one semester and I promise after one semester I will be back to your class again.

I look forward to your response
Thank you
Shesa

Dear Mr. Anderson,
I am writing this letter with regards to a predicament I face. I am curently working as a consultant at Deloitte. With the role being full-time, I request you to grant me permission to drop the Strategic Capability course taught by you.

The consulting role requires me to constantly travel which leaves me no time to work on my course deliverables. From next month onwards, I am also required to work till 8 PM which would clash with my class timings. The course is very research intensive and requires students to put considerable time and effort. Unfortunetly, my full-time job hinders me from giving my all to the course.

I request you to let me discontinue the course. I am very interested in cotinuing my journey of growth and would love to take it up again when I have streamlined my work. This academic sabbatical will help me ease into my new job role and come back to the course with a renewed rigour.

I look forward to hearing from you.

Yours sincerely,
Ashley Garcia

There is common belief amongst people that constant media coverage of celebrities is having negative effect on children. This essay strongly agrees to this conception as there are adverse effects on brains of the children on watching their favourite celebrities and hence spoiling their thoughts towards life.

Firstly, when children are constantly watching the life style of their most loved individuals , they are bound to get motivated in a negative manner while trying to imitate them. They try to dream about being like their icon but completely caught unaware of all the struggles the celebrities have been through to achieve the success. Girls, as young as 15 years, are flocking to surgery clinics to mimic the features of their favourite celebrities. Publicising such trends not only risks the health of youngsters, but also instils in them the idea that physical appearance is more important than character and personality

Secondly, a misconception is developed amongst the children on watching their superstars. And this is about having everything around you look grand. On the pretext to look rich or fancy, they tend to burn their parents money irrespective of their financial situation. Due to constant mileage provided around the aura of these superstars, children tend to emulate them in every part of their life not knowing the adverse effects of blindly following them. Media should keep a close check on what they broadcast to prevent the generation of tomorrow from getting brainwashed by the negative elements in the society.

Overall I feel that every parent must regulate the content to which their children are being exposed to and make them realise that emulating their idols shouldn’t be at the expense of losing their goal in life.

Dear Miss Beth,

I would like you to know that I can no longer continue with my advanced english course with you. It is so unfortunate on my end that I am not able to continue anymore.

As you already know, I have a full time day job at a local firm that requires most of my time and that's the reason of my constant absence to our one on one sessions. I took the course to prepare myself for my possible promotion as senior supervisor.

Fortunate enough, I recently got the promotion and will step up as a senior supervisor very soon that will require much more of my time. I would like to prioritize and focus on my job at the moment. I am new to this role so I would like to invest more time and effort until I familiarize myself to the system. Once I am settled and able to manage my time, I would like to continue the course with you as I am satisfied with your program and teaching techniques.

I look forward to hearing from you.


Yours sincerely,

Does media coverage of celebrities has a negative impact on children? To a certain extent I agree that media coverage of celebrities has a negative affect on childer. However, I aslo think that children can learn something from watching their favorite celebrities.

Most people think that media coverage of celebrities has no good benefits to their children. I believe showing the luxurious and sophisticated life of celebrities to children makes them materialistic and will learn to complain about their life. Their young and innocent mind will then question "why they can afford everything and we cannot". The complicated and controversial lives of celebrities may not be suitable for young children. Most common celebrity issues are devorce, bigamy, battery, and public misconduct which are I strongly believe inappropriate for young children and may have negative effects on them.

On the otherhand, I think children may also benefits from watching the celebrities they look up into. They will learn to dream and be determined on their goal. It will teach them to focus on their goals and gives them hope. Since media cannot filter their coverage, I believe it is the parents responsibility to guide the children and choose which kind of media coverage is age appropriat for their children. Let them watch the life of young celebrities close to their age and learn from their life stories. After all, most of the celebrities have inspiring and humble beginning that children can learn from.

To conclude, media coverage of celebrities may have either positive nor negative effects on children. It is a matter of parental guidance and support as well as choosing an age appropriate for the children.

It a popular belief that media’s attention on celebrities do have a detrimental impact on children. In my opinion, this is so true to the extent. The channels and media often attempt to peep into celebrities official as well personal lives and tele caste the finding in all the modems till they reach the highest viewership or readership through this.
On the one hand, children are glued to the television for longer hours and tend to follow the celebrity lifestyle after watching their favourite star personal life in an interview or in any web series. Noticeably they found depressed or frustrated for not having the same luxury. If the same trend continues, at some point they may pose to commit suicide. Let’s take a live example, there is a famous Bollywood star kid who frequently appears in the media along with her mom. At that tender age she doesn’t have any clue on why she is being followed by the media or paparazzi always, keeping an eye on her and capturing videos and photos for all the time. Resulting to this, she may lose comfort to step out of her home and, hence she will be self-isolated from her friends, relatives, family, and finally she does give-up to her childhood. Another negative impact of this is, the normal kids who watched the celebrity kid’s lifestyle in the social media or in any wed site, observed to be mentally sick for not holding the same position nor enjoying same benefits.
On the other hand, celebrities usually participate in some social service activities, involved in adopting few rural villages and donating funds to some orphan schools. After watching the same in media, the kids might get enough motivation and there might be huge chances to mingle well with the society and, if required, they won’t hesitate to help the needy. If media is continuing to cover such a good programme in their channels, parents also might feel proud to show these programmes to their kids, for the good work done by their favourite stars. 
To recapitulate, there are some advantages which can outweigh disadvantages, but this depends on media as well as parents how they can balance the kid’s impressions. However, according to me, media is uncontrollable or unstoppable from telecasting such news to attain highest TRP. Hence this can have worse impact on children.
