Grading Celebrities Social Responsibility
Jump to: Newest in thread
So you often hear people saying that when a celebrity behaves badly, some variation of "we expect more from them because they are a role model to kids". Well what if there was an official report that graded how much of a good role model, each top celebrity is?
Well in China there is. The government says that celebrities have a responsibility to spread "positive energy" among young audiences; in other words, to be upbeat and promote healthy moral values. So that's a 0% for you
mr cobain. Aside from public shaming, low scorers will also lose certain privileges, although it's not clear what those are. Probably they will be barred from certain award nominations.
The first casualty of the report was tax dodger Fan Bingbing, the highest paid female actress in China.
Would this be a good concept to have here? |

I don't believe it would.
The state already tries to influence me enough without it controlling how I think further by influencing how celebrities (appear to) behave.
I think we already have a raft of socially responsible famous people, appearing, doe eyed, on our screens and radios, exhorting us to donate "just £3 a month".
Don't the media regulate and publicly shame our celebrities anyway? I'm thinking of the likes of John Leslie, Lesley Grantham, Wayne Rooney and all the others who lose lucrative advertising contracts due to daft behaviour. |

No...our government is far too busy with infighting and backstabbing to bother about how so called celebrities conduct themselves in public |

We do it for businesses, which legally speaking are people. Ultimately, it's a report that comes out a university. A 0% score wouldn't stop me watching blade or liking Mike Tyson, but quite a few parents would probably appreciate it. |

The report was done by Beijing University, the government just funded it. Although it's China so they probably told them what to write as well. But it wouldn't need to take up politicians time here. |

I'm probably not the best person to be discussing celebrities because I don't know much about them. However wouldn't a grading system make the 0% celebs waaaay more attractive to kids, especially young teenagers. The net would give the 0% ones a platform unless we somehow stop their access to that.
Having brought up two kids I can honestly say the influence of celebrities was one of the last things that concerned me. Although I appreciate that they do have an effect on youth culture. |

"Kurt is dead. Has been for over 20 years. I wouldn't expect him to score very high on "Social Responsibility".
And that's our news from Oxford, back to the studio Ken. "
I think you were thinking of Corbin, but wrote cobain. |

I meant the nirvana singer with the really depressing music. That a response to the "spreading positivity" requirement. |

That's probably one of the reasons it could work over there, but not here. They still have the concept of shame  |

You realise that your sentence there made zero sense? |

I've yet to find anyone who likes Fan Bingbing, seems the 0% rating was quite in line with public opinion on her! |
