Nominalization
Nominalization = turning the verb into a noun (i.e. decide -> decision)
Why?
  • Formal register
  • To hide the agent
  • Concise writing (=short and to the point, each word contributes to meaning)
  • Avoid use of personal pronoun
  • Combine sentences into 1 complex sentence (noun phrase -> noun + modifier; gerunds)

Example:
  • The principal decided to expel the student and he was then severely criticized for it 
-> The decision to expel the student led to severe criticism.
  • Elvis slowly walked into McDonalds. He was recognized by a member of the crew. Elvis then quickly left.
-> Walking slowly into McDonalds, Elvis was recognized by a crew member 
-> Elvis' slow walk into McDonalds lead to his recognition.

Slide 27 - Lien

The position and influence of celebrities as role models is the focus of both texts; however, both differ in their take on the matter. The first text takes the stance that all celebrities are poor role models whereas the second text argues that their positive or negative influence depends on the individual concerned.  
As the first text points out, our chosen role models are integral to shaping many aspects of who we are and who we aspire to be. With reference to celebrities in particular, the author is scathing about the scope of celebrities to 
 be inspirational figures. I feel that it is an over-reaction to dismiss all celebrities in this way because of the behaviour of a limited number of individuals.  
The second text makes the point that the media builds and destroys celebrities at will. I am inclined to agree with this argument as it is sensationalism that sells newspapers and fuels online chat. As I argued above, to apply one label to an entire group is inaccurate and unfair. There are without doubt a number of positive celebrity role models and blanket condemnation is inappropriate.  
In conclusion, I feel that celebrities should be judged as individuals, in the same way as any other people who are grouped together because of a particular job or status. After all, it would be equally inaccurate to say that all political leaders or parents are positive role models.
