　　There is no need to be overly preoccupied with the fantasy images of starsstanding out from the rest on the screen, the stage and the playing fieldbecause celebrity worship is part of everyday life, particularly amongadolescents. That young people are admiring media and sports celebrities issocially normal outside the academic and behavioral context. Accepting that itis good and natural to be young, then it is inevitable for young people to beobsessed with certain personalities as their ideal examples.

　　Psychologically speaking, a certain amount of star admiration is normal.When young, becoming fans of favorite stars is a form of escapism and a way todull emotional pain and stress; so, emulating celebrities is a natural part ofdevelopment to identify themselves with their icons. Even in adulthood, peoplerank successful individuals highly and model themselves after them. In a globalmedia culture, the lifestyle promoted by stars is often unattainable to theaverage person, regardless of whether it is realistic or ideal. Hence, the pointis that young people choose their models for reasons based on renownedexcellence in a specific field rather than on scandals that happen sometimes.That is, it is to admire what is shining in famous people's career successes andnot what happen to shadow their real lives.

　　Not unlike fashion, "star worship syndrome" is simply a social development,although there could be an unhealthy interest in the private lives of actors,actresses, pop singers, and sports players. Admiring celebrities may be as blindas falling in love, and just as normal. When it comes to immature and confusedminds, love cannot be avoided, nor can admiration for heroes and heroines. Suchstar obsession has proliferated since the creation of the mass media andtherefore it had better not be regarded as a moral issue. To believe thatcelebrity worship is a negative development only makes out-of-date moral sense,leading to nowhere. In this gossip world, to criticize celebrities for failingto deliver good examples all the time beyond their specialized fields calls forthe need to stop, in the first place, the media outlets from reporting whatgossip is made of.

　　Admiration for favorite stars does no harm to people, young or old;besides, star admiration cannot be avoided in this information age. Fortunately,most fans are able to learn to tell a realistic world from an ideal world duringthis period between no-longer children and not-yet adults, without having torefer to moral examples. Indeed, there is nothing wrong about young peopleseeking their idols by looking up at the shining stars in the fantasy world towhich many young people naturally belong.
