Paparazzi: Scandalous?

Being a paparazzi is someone who exploits celebrities or anyone famous to try and get money from it. This is apparently an actual occupation, but in my opinion it's one of the most disgusting ones out there. The fact that these people get money out of invading someone's privacy and exposing it to the world is just unbelievable. At some points paparazzi go too far by creating inappropriate scandals and even risking the lives of the poor people. One of the most targeted and have the biggest issues with the paparazzi would be the pop singer Justin Bieber. He has recently got into fights with paparazzi's who constantly mock him and go too far when it comes to taking pictures of him.

In this video we see one of many incidents where he encountered a problem with paparazzi. It truly upsets me how people think it is okay to keep on invading someones space. I am a fan of Justin Bieber, but I promise you I am not taking his side because of that. I am taking his side because no one should ever be treated in a way where just because you are living the high life you can be followed around, swarmed by flashing lights and have someone risk your life because of one lousy picture. It's truly upsetting whenever someone goes: "Celebrities shouldn't complain about the paparazzi since being famous comes with the price of having people up your tail! They should just get over it!" People have the right to live their lives safe and have actual privacy. It is also very annoying how they think it is okay for famous people to go through this.No one should have to contemplate whether or not they should go outside just so they won't get swarmed. Imagine having to go outside and having people hide behind your bushes, taking a picture with every step you make. It may be glamorous, but it will become annoying as well.  I myself would rather not want to go through that. People really need to understand that having to go through the flashes of the camera shouldn't be part of the job description whenever you decide to be famous. 

People need to respect one another, if the paparazzi want the respect and not be classified as sleazy, then they should gain that respect. It's not like everyone hates them enough for taking pictures of someone else and posting it on the internet, might as well be polite when you interact with them and not having to be a very mean person (which are sadly mostly the characteristics of most paparazzi) 

All in all, I find myself having a tremendous amount of negative feelings towards paparazzi and I think that their job is just plain wrong since privacy is very much needed in someones life and they need to understand that.
