The document discusses whether celebrity scandals reported in the press should be banned. While some argue that reporting scandals violates celebrities' privacy and damages their reputation, others counter that it is a source of income for the press. However, the document ultimately concludes that banning celebrity scandals would help protect celebrities' privacy and integrity, as well as discourage a gossipy society even if it impacts some press incomes.

1. Celebrity scandals* in the press: should they be banned?
We always see news about celebrity scandals everywhere, many people think that
this is something that should be prohibited due to the fact that they violate the privacy
of the person. However, on many occasions they are the first to see a scandal. We
have as an example the scandal of Will Smith's wife, although it was something that
gave a very big boom to the entire society, the people who commented or thought
that this was a sensitive issue, were the first to publish things about it, damaging
even more the celebrity reputation.
In my opinion, the celebrity scandals are utterly stupid and so are the people who
give their full attention to it. First of all, the scandal damages the privacy, reputation
and integrity of the person affected. The second thing is that society itself is more
driven to consume this type of news, by giving its opinion on a subject that does not
even concern them. Despite this, for many people it becomes a necessity to be
aware of scandals and even if it is not the right thing to do, they create and improve
certain capacities for opinion and criticism.
I remain firm in my first opinion on this; however, many people say that for the press,
this is work. Many people live on this and it is their only source of income, even if
they harm one person in between. But still it is very unfair to the affected person.
In conclusion, although this is a form of work for certain people, it is not right to
damage the integrity of a person at the cost of gossip and scandals, by supporting
this, we only make society worse. So, I would agree to ban doing this, in this way we
would not only help celebrities maintain their privacy, but we would also not promote
a gossipy society.
