【正确答案】正确答案: Should Public Figures Have Their Own Privacy? Public figures are expected to be role models for the common people. If they fail to live up to this expectation, scandals would take place, and they may face their career disaster. Despite this, I think their private life should be out of the public scrutiny. The protection of privacy should be honored by all people, otherwise, tragedy might follow. Take Princess Diana as an example. She was killed in a car crash, which was caused by the relentless chasing of tabloid reporters. This tragedy is a wake-up call for all the media and the Internet users who tend to abuse their power and pry into the private life of public figures. There are times when we do things that are intended for those closest to us. If we are ruthlessly nosy and expose others' private details, we are violating the privacy rights under the pretext of information rights. In fact, relevant laws stipulate what kind of information is accessible to the public and no one should be above these laws. In conclusion, it is true that "with great power comes great responsibility." But the responsibility is within the public service. Even role models have their innermost feelings that are not going to be shared by all.
