Can celebrity involvement help solve the problem of gun violence?
I feel that they can because they are well-known and famous and they will help people start to realize that gun violence is getting out of control. More people will listen to the problems that go on in our daily lives when celebrities talk about them. Gun violence has gone out of control.
According to Dwyane Wade, who is a famous basketball player. He says that gun laws are weak and that city leaders in his hometown of Chicago, Illinois need to make changes. The reason why he was speaking out about gun violence was because his cousin was shot while pushing a stroller. People are going to listen to him because he is famous.
Former President Barack Obama stated at a ceremony that “We need to feel the fierce urgency of now.” When he talked about gun control laws, he teared up, and this shows how in America gun violence has affected people’s lives. Even though not many people agreed with Obama, some people thought maybe there could be a change. The politicians couldn’t change it, but he did change the people’s minds about guns. My opinion stays the same because without politicians, without celebrities, where would we be right now? It’s 2017! We need to start making the right decisions. The violence is Getting Out Of Control!
I agree with you Ryan that celebrity involvement help solve the problem of gun violence because how the media is today if you do not know to smoke weed or drink or kill someone you are not hood enough and you can’t fit in and the only reason people act that is because the person they look up to do all those things and because of those people it’s a normal thing so if you don’t do that thing you’re different or not normal.
I strongly agree with this post because if the government was strick on gun laws , many of these killings would not go on today.
I agree with you Ryan because celebrities has an big impact on people lives because they look up to them. If the celebrities come together and try to stop gun violence maybe it will decrease.
I enjoyed your blog and I really like and understand how you feel about gun violence. For example, when you were really serious and wanted to make your point clear, you put a important piece that you thought would be in effect, in bold. Also how you related gun violence to very important people. Like a basketball player and the President Of The United States.
I agree with you that celebrities have the power to stop gun violence. I agree with you because they have a lot of power. And none of the people that have higher power than them do not want to stop what they are doing.
