Celebrity Status: Demoted!
Oh celebrities. You guys were meant to be role models to children. But now look where you guys are right now. That idea alone just makes me shake my head in shame and, in all honesty, sorrow. Just look at people like Justin Bieber. Starts off as a young teen singer with a voice to a bad boy who gets arrested for many crimes. I am making this blog post so I can share my opinion on this type of situation.
One huge problem I HATE when it comes to this situation is that the fans of these celebrities actually defend them. All I have to say about that is: Why? Why would you defend someone like that?
For an example, even though Justin Beiber assaulted others, vandalize property or even spat on fans, his fans still like him. Heck, even some fans will hurt each other and Justin Beiber himself just to either meet Justin Beiber or even "defend" him. So IMO, fans like these are just so obsessed with their idol, they can't keep their obsession under control which can lead to dire situations. Either that or they're expecting something back from the celebrities themselves for "supporting" them. That could be either a gift or a simple shout out .

But another huge problem with this is that most of these celebrities get little to no consequence for doing these actions. Sure, people like Justin Bieber got arrested, but a few weeks later, he got bailed out since all he had to pay was a few thousand dollars. THAT DOESN'T MAKE ANY SENSE!!
So to change this problem, this is what should happen. Celebrities need to obviously get punished for their actions. Sure they may be celebrities but they're still regular people living normal lives. But one way to actually punish them is to increase the type of punishment they're earning. For an example, you can increase how much money they need to pay just to bail out of jail. If this does happen, celebrities might actually learn from their mistakes much easier than before.
In conclusion, celebrities need to get punish for illegal actions that they have caused. But this punishment needs to be "buffed" if these actions were anything dire.

Get off you phone. I MEAN IT!!!!
On one side, electronic devices can actually make a relationship better. First of all, electronics give you more options to actually interact with friends and family. These options can range from calls, video chat, e-mail, social sites or the simple text message. Parents can also things like phones as a tracking device for their children. That idea itself can be very useful. But other than that, that's pretty much it. But on the other side, we have reasons why a phone can hinder a relationship. One reason is that electronics can actually drive you away from a relationship since it's pretty difficult to get off your phone due to the many things it can feature. Whether it be the internet, video games and even text messaging itself.
Electronics can also affect your relationship with teachers as well in many ways. On one side, teachers can actually use it as a way to teach students. For an example, students can use it as a way to do research on whatever work they're doing or they can watch educational videos on either YouTube or Khan Academy. And the biggest thing is that teachers can use laptops to show Microsoft PowerPoint to actually teach students. This itself is big since it's simple to do and it's better than just using a simple blackboard. But on the other hand, it can hinder the relationship severely. First of all, electronics can distract a student from actually doing work in class. I literally lost count to how much students do this in my school (me included). Also, phones can interrupt lessons or seminars you're attending if you don't turn it off. Not only is it bad for you, but it bad for the entire class and teacher. Finally, it's gives students another option to actually cheat in a test. Due to the small size of a phone, it's easy to look at either some notes you saved on your phone or even the internet for answers. Sure it's pretty easy to see if someone is cheating or not but it's still a problem nonetheless.

To prevent these problems, I have came up with a few solutions. For parents, they should either confiscate their child's phone or laptop when not using or they need to restrict specific apps and websites. For teachers, there's actually little to no things they can actually do other than confiscate their phones since some schools blocked specific websites already.
In conclusion, electronics can affect your relationship with other people. Whether it be for the better or the worse. But I still believe technology can be used for the better in the end. Sure there may be problems with it, but those problems can easily be solved nonetheless.
