Stalking is when someone has an obsession with another individual or group of people and seek to find information about them.Stalkers usually suffer from personality issues or have mental disorders, which is why I was suprised during the lecture when someone stated the celebrities are stalked by the media, this is definatly a form of atalking and shows stalkers can be anyone, as the paparazzi do seek to get details of others, however they are excuseble as no one really refers to these photographers as "stalkers" but "paparazzi" means just photographers who follow famous people, although they do not just follow famous people but affect their victims day to day lives. I believe stalking is sinful behaviour because although the victim may not be aware they are being stalked there is still a risk they could find out and can lead to feelings of insecurity, depression and fear.

I do think it is mainly our fault as to why celebrities get stalked by the paparazzi.If we didn't buy magazines such as 'Hello' or 'OK' then the 'paps' wouldn't go to such desperate measures to get a photo of Amy's or Britneys new melt down.We have to ask ourselves why we are so sucked into this celebrity life.It's generally accepted that the photographers following Lady Diana in Paris in 1997 were the cause of her death.Will the paparazzi's hunger for a 'good copy' make tragedies like this an occupational hazard?
