Differentiating between news and gossip

Celebrity Gossips and Human Nature

It is very interesting to note that how much we are interested in the lives of the other people especially the lives of the celebrities. This is not something totally new to this century; researches show that these tendencies have their roots in prehistoric times. In prehistoric times people lived in smaller groups and every thing happened within that group and everyone knew everybody. There were no strangers among them; if you are a stranger then you were not worthy enough to live so they eliminated the strangers in their own way.

Such a lifestyle also meant that they should be aware of their competitors within their group because they had to fight amongst themselves when it came to sharing of resources that were often limited. When these groups started becoming bigger, they were unable to keep track of their primitive transactions and with whom they could liaise, who were the cheaters in the group, who is a fertile mate etc. So they had to pry into the private dealings of other members of the community and often the one who knew more about others was considered powerful; probably that is where all these started. They had no other choice to be interested in other people's business. Over the centuries this quality has got ingrained into our genes and it is part of each one's personality now.

Today the same trait can be seen in a different way because it is no more relevant to our lifestyle today. However, for certain people it is still a preoccupation, people who fight to cling on to success or to be more successful than the others. A general interest in celebrity gossips is basically part of human nature. Interestingly, in spite of such great refinement in our reasoning abilities we are still unable to shed this trait. It has actually gone to the other extreme; we are often interested in items that are not newsworthy in anyway.

We are very keen in knowing about the celebrity breaking gossip and show great interest in talking about it with the others. Is it our way of establishing that we are more powerful than the others, better than the others because we know more than the others? It is very difficult to put our fingers on what exactly fascinates us still about celebrity gossips. We don't have to break our heads on this because it is almost a socially accepted phenomenon in today's society to spread gossip and be interested in gossip. So if it interests someone, then let them indulge in their dose of gossips.
