Today i read an article titled Angelina Jolie Sees 'Real Suffering' in Afghanistan by Mary Green i found this article in People Magazine. I think the thesis of this article is that a celebrity can be a powerful role-model. With their star power celebrities have not only a lot of influence on teenagers but also adults. Their influence can be either negative or positive, in Angelina's case it is a positive amazing role-model for helping around the world. Angelina not only influences people to donate money to third world countries but to be passionate in what you believe no matter what people say. With all the influence celebrities have comes a lot of responsibility, that celebrities often abuse. I believe that if celebrities all chose to be more like Angelina Jolie than teenagers and young adults would make wiser choices.
