When it comes to fighting for social change or justice or bringing attention to a serious matter and using your voice for change, some believe that their lack of "importance" or influence will do nothing. Of course this is wrong, because any voice is important and powerful once it is put to the task, but this brings on another issue. This is why I believe it is so important for celebrities and socialites, people with some sort of platform, to use their voices because they may have more of an impact. Celebrities will promote makeup or fitness tea and others buy it, so when it comes to important subjects, I think at least an opinion or a statement during a time of violence or hate is something that should be done by them.

This is so important, because if you have the power to influence others and a platform to stand on, you should use it. Celebrities that stay silent during times of violence and hate should be ashamed. Any voice is important, but ones with more of a power and influence on others tend to have more of an impact on certain situations. Of course, some things are tough to address and many may not choose to address the things going on in the world via social media, but those who protest, educate themselves on current situations and take a stand, those are celebrities who use their voice for important things.

Whether it's police brutality, the Black Lives Matter movement, hate crimes, shootings, etc., it's important to discuss, especially those who are speaking to a large group of individuals.
