The Impact Celebrities Have On Our Life Analysis

A Healthy Obsession There are many who would argue that celebrity obsessions are unhealthy. A student named Collin Palmer assumes that our obsession over celebrities isn’t so bad. Another writer, however, Deborah King, in her article titled, “The Impact Celebrities Have On Our Life,” explains the opposite.

So that type of obsession is positive and healthy, they obsess over what they do because they enjoy it. So Dr. De Backer’s statement of no obsession being a good thing is preposterous. While Deborah King is agreeing with Dr. De Backer she needs to realize the opposite side of her
