Recently the issue of celebrities endorsing shoddy products

2、 has become the focus of public concern. As can be seen in the cartoon, a star is touting inferior products like a hand puppet. Behind the curtain is hiding an unethical manufacturer who is manipulating the puppet.Why is celebrity endorsement so prevalent? The answer involves two factors. First, man

3、ufacturers cash in on celebrities popularity to rake in fat profits. For instance, using celebrities to promote a product is especially effective for kids and teens. If they see their idols recommending a product, they will be more likely to buy it. Second, celebrities greed for money also plays its

4、 role. Some actors, singers and athletes have no qualms about pushing anything from toothbrush to sanitary towel as long as they are handsomely paid. A recent example is Hou Yaohua, a crosstalk actor, who acted as the spokesperson for more than a dozen of tonic medicines, which later proved to be in

5、effective or even harmful. Now is the time for a change.

The young generation tends to think their parents are too protective, while the parents think the teenage kids are intractable. Also responsible for this situation is their busy lifestyle

As a result, the generation gap is growing wider and wider.To bridge the gap, children should take the initiative to communicate with their parents. Parents, on the other ha
