What do stars do?

Question

Why do ppl want stars?
What do they do?

Answer 1

Stars, as in astronomical bodies that you see in the night sky? Or the one I think you mean, as in "super stars"?

I think the reason people like stars is based on the human tendency to imitate. People want people they can look up to. Stars provide a perfect model for everyone else: rich, famous, popular. You can "figure out" what to do with your life just by grabbing a magazine and following the instructions therein. Also people like beauty... they gravitate towards it, we were built to appreciate it. Hence the giant market for gorgeous people. Unfortunately many people often gravitate towards the wrong things, and that can cause problems.

However, ambition is not necessarily a bad thing. I just hope humanity will realize the right thing to aspire to.

Why do people want stars?
Stars are admired because of their proficiency and mastery in their art. Hence many people want to emulate them as role models. The artistry is not always positive in ethical terms. Even the art of lying about threats of non-existent WMDs requires propagandist artists. Hence, circumstances also often churn out stars!
