YES
International charity groups can take advantage of the publicity of celebrities. With the announcement of high-profile figures, such as famous singers, movie stars and star athletes, the activities or campaigns of international organizations can be responded immediately.
As the attention-getting group, famous people should and could pass on active influence, for the speeches and behavior of those top stars could set a good example for the public.
Celebrities, as a respectable group, usually live under spotlight, receive maximum praise and considerable economic rewards. Hence, they are expected to make their unique contribution to the community as a returned favor. Their selfless donation could fulfill their social responsibilities, embody their kindness, and bring them great sense of satisfaction.
NO
A small part of celebrities don’t gain much popularity and can’t bring any convenience to international aid organizations. Although some celebrities give their support to these organizations outwardly, they don’t bring any tangible help.
Stars’ assistance is limited and thus less significant in terms of resolving some international problems such as helping the population of poverty-stricken countries shake off poverty or tackling global environmental contamination.
The impact of celebrities might be a double-edged sword. If some stars fail to practice what they preach, then, the public might lose confidence in the organizations they have publicized.

答案 Is Celebrity Effect Useful? With a sea of reports about celebrities’ love affairs, drug abuse and other bad behaviors, many people think they have set the worst negative examples for adolescents. As a result, citizens may doubt their integrity when they provide support towards international aid organizations and even the reliability of the philanthropic organizations. However, it has also been argued that famous people can help raise large amounts of money as well as draw public attention to charity. Personally speaking, the involvement of notables in international charity can draw high attention to the plight of other countries. Firstly, luminaries themselves can not only make substantial donations to needy groups but also call on more people to provide assistance. Furthermore, celebrities play an important role in publicizing charitable culture and mobilizing international support. Last but not least, idolaters, most of whom are youths, are used to blindly following every aspect of celebrities’ behaviors. Therefore, more young people will be likely to participate in the charitable activities, which will make international aid organizations get twice the result with half the effort. In conclusion, everyone has obligations to contribute as much as they can to the international charity, not to mention famous persons. Celebrity philanthropy is a must but celebrity effect should be used appropriately.
