While people are people, humans make mistakes, no questions asked. We all play a role in society and whether or not it is a good or bad one, it is something to learn from. Now when we depend on people to act a certain way why should it be met to our standards and what people think? Famous people for example are just doing their job, and the side of their life in which they choose what do in their life is their choice, just as ours is. Not all famous people sign contracts vowing to be a role model for an entire world that is watching them but they do their job and that's what should be looked at. I firmly believe that paparrazzi has a big hand in why people tend to have such a problem in situations of actors gone "bad." Honestly I could care less what celebrities do or athletes choose to do with their lives outside of the work place.
Now in the case of Michael Phelps and the whole incident of smoking marijuana, it's simply a choice that he made. I'm pretty positive there are important people that people tend to look up that have done worse, but they haven't gotten caught. As for Michael Phelps, he did. But the mere fact is that it's his life and if people need celebrities as role models then the problem is just that. Celebrities for example as role models, is simply a joke to me. Parents, siblings, family is what people should be looking up to and not other people such as celebrities and athletes. I really don't think Phelps should be resigned from any endorsements as it's his life and who should we be to judge him? it is even seen on television of actors smoking marijuana as part a movie.
