In this debate, i will offer a couple arguments on why popular entertainers should not be involved in political campaigns.
Argument #1: Entertainers are too influential in this world and politics is based on opinion. Politics is a very important area in our lives and entertainers would attract too many fans to their side even if they don't think the candidate their supporting is who we need. So many people love entertainers and would choose to vote for a candidate they even wouldn't normally want just because their favorite entertainer is involved in a political campaign.
Argument #2: Politics would be taken less seriously if more popular entertainers got involved because entertainers are loved for their entertainment, not their views. Politics is very serious and it would not be good to mix it with entertainment.
I am not arguing that entertainers should be banned from political campaigns, i am simply saying they should not get involved in our elections.
Thank you for reading.

| Speak RoundI think they should be part of political things. Popular entertainers are the same as us it's just they are more well known. Some people,like Donald Trump, want to be known more than others but some people, like Prince Harry, think of themselves as just a person and not a prince. DHS15608, entertainers aren't too influential in this world only because all they do is entertain people. Yes they may be cool, yes they may be pretty or handsome but that doesn't mean they can't engage in political campaigns.
Thank you.

| Speak RoundPRO is arguing that entertainers are no different, that they are just like us but are more well known and are not too influential in this world.
I am arguing that popular entertainers are too influential to be involved in politics. Entertainment is what makes entertainers very influential. Ask people about their favorite scientist and politician, then ask someone about their favorite entertainer. Entertainers are a lot more influential than politicians, so imagine them getting involved in politics. People mostly value entertainment over academics, which is why entertainers would influence politics too much. Entertainers should be separate from politicians, you don't see Barack Obama starring in movies, so why should entertainers be in our elections? Mixing politics and entertainment is not a good thing since politics is important. Entertainment and politics would be better separated.
Thanks, and even though most disagree, don't be too closed-minded to my case.
I hope you vote PRO.

| Speak RoundI am saying that it doesn't matter if you are famous or not-you are still part of the 7 billion+ people of the world. Yes, some entertainers might be influential but some are just doing for the money.
PRO is saying that entertainers are too influential for us. I thoroughly disagree with this person's thought. Entertainers are the same as non-entertainers. The only thing that is different is that they come on our screen every Saturday or Sunday night. The non-entertainers,however, sit home on that Saturday or Sunday. The next Monday they talk about what they liked the most on that particular famous show and everything like that. That is what entertainers do. Yeah, it must be a great job, but really DHS15608, how on earth are entertainers influential in this world?
Thank you for reading.

| Speak RoundI see CON disagrees with me on the point that entertainers are influential in this world. CON doesn't think entertainers are too influential to be involved in politics. However, she is wrong.
"According to a study conducted by Huston and Wright at the University of Kansas, the only thing that kids spend more time doing than watching TV shows is sleeping. Every time you turn on the TV, go to the movies or read a magazine, you see TV and movie stars, but you may not always be thinking about the effects that celebrities have on you."*1
Entertainers star on TV shows and movies which are around us everywhere, that's what makes entertainers more influential than others.
Entertainers would influence our elections and especially young voters too much. Just as many don't want religion to influence our government, entertainment shouldn't influence our elections.
Thanks. Vote Pro!

| Speak RoundWell, maybe PRO is wrong. He is saying that children watch television a miniature bit less than sleeping. I don't. I am a certain young age. I like tests, reading and writing descriptively. My house is a family of education. Not a family of people who look forward to Saturdays or Sundays. Yes, I like TV a lot. But that doesn't mean I am crazy about it and I watch 24/7. Entertainers are not more influential than non-entertainers. They are just known more, like 'Ant&Dec!'
For example, why should a person who is just kicking a ball around make him or her more influential? It doesn't! All these people are doing is playing football which is practically just kicking a ball around everywhere frantically. The next week, they get paid £300,000! This is all because they are kicking a ball.
A bit weird isn't it?
Thank you for reading.

Hello, please my you put why you voted for DHS15608 as it would be most appreciated.Posted 2016-05-27 23:17:35
Since this was a secret topic, I was hoping it would be something I would agree with or at least make sense to argue for. I was hoping I wouldn't get, "That only woman should be allowed to vote" or "That banning books is justified" since those are some on the issues that I see as too radical. I don't agree with this statement, but its not too hard to argue for.Posted 2016-05-17 09:34:22
DHS15608, I really do agree with you! I like to do short debates as well. Posted 2016-05-16 06:29:25
The time to post was more than enough, it took me less than an hour. I kinda like short debates since you don't have to spend much time on it.Posted 2016-05-12 09:18:07
