Bob As A Role Model

"When we're young, it sometimes seems as if the world doesn't exist outside our city, our block, our house, our room. We make decisions based on what we see in that limited world and follow the only models available” (Moore, 178). Role models play a very big part in shaping an individual and deciding which route they take in their lifetime. In both of the Weses’ life, role models contributed to why they both turned out so differently. Wes Moore, the author, had strong and positive influences in his life that helped guide him on the right path to become a successful adult. However, the other Wes Moore had many influences in his life that, not intentionally, guided him down the wrong path.

True role models are those who possess the qualities that we would want to have in the near future and those who interest us in a way that make us want to be a better person. They teach us more about ourselves and encourage us to make better choices. A role model is not just someone who is successful, but someone who has had similar experiences that we have had. In the novel To Kill A Mockingbird, Harper Lee demonstrates that Atticus Finch is a true role model. Over the course of the novel, Atticus stands up for his beliefs, respects everyone despite who they are and behaves as a true father. Atticus is truly the ideal role model.

A role model is someone who affects one by their examples, making these people wanting to adapt to the role model's lifestyle. The 1930s was a time of racial segregation and the Great Depression. Harper Lee, who at the time was a 34 year old white woman, decided to express her thoughts on the subject of racial discrimination through her award winning book To Kill a Mockingbird. In To Kill a Mockingbird by Harper Lee, Atticus Finch is a good role model because he defends Tom Robinson, he wants the best for his children, and he is truthful.

On December 29th, 1940 Franklin D. Roosevelt (the active president at the time) delivered a radio broadcast to the American people about the events in Europe and what needed to be done to protect our allies and ourselves. During this time period many Americans were still considered isolationists and wanted nothing to do with foreign affairs. However The United Kingdom and the rest of the European territories that were under attack were struggling to fight back the German and axis forces. In desperate need of food and supplies these counties continued to pursue aid from the United States. This put Roosevelt in a difficult position; Wanting to aid our allied countries before the Nazi powers wipe them out, but also trying to appease the United State’s mass that had no intention joining the war without needing to. Nevertheless Roosevelt was able to deliver his radio board casted speech smoothly, and with enough emotion to convince many Americans that our resources needed to be used elsewhere. FDR was also able to motivate factory workers all over the countries to produce at their maximum potential, in order to produce the amount needed to support our eastern allies. We know now that American intervention ended up being very beneficial in hopes of ending the war. This means that the speech was very important and effective, one of the first steps for the United States to help restore order in the World.

Role model. A role model is someone you should look up to. Someone whose behavior and success you should imitate. In the story “Marble Champ” by Gary Soto, the protagonist is a 12-year old girl named Lupe. Lupe is smart but horrible at athletics. Lupe is a role model because she is a hard worker, determined, and intelligent. More people should try to be like Lupe. With role models around, the world becomes a better place.

Parents should lead their children and are prime examples for them and without this leadership and quality from a parent it can lead their children from not growing. With a similar fate of death Oscar and Lincoln both share this aspect, however, Lincoln lacks the support of his mom while Oscar has his mom in his life, “His mother and his abuela and his tio delivered the ultimatum and that was that”(305). Beli involves herself once Oscar gets beaten and he goes back to his old routine of following his fantasy and Oscar fails to change as the lack of parenting occurs in his life as Beli never pushes Oscar to grow and by not setting an example of herself. Although a parent is in their child’s life it doesn’t necessarily mean they are providing

But as the story goes on he starts to open up bit by bit. He holds idle conversations with Robert and even shares Marijuana with Robert. Where he once was not looking forward to Robert visiting his home because of a stereotype he had gained from a movie he had watched, by the end he was completely different. As in different I mean he had put aside all of his stereotypes, his own thoughts and emotions and opened up to Robert.

Continually, he blames others for how his life turned out, but one must remember that he chose to go down that path where suffering was sure to follow, and that he could just have easily moved away and made a better life for himself. Also, Catherine brings up the idea of passion and love versus societal expectations and

The word role model has plenty of meanings, but what exactly is a role model? This word is defined by someone who can be looked up whether it is for advice, or just simply who they are as a person. Aeron Moore has had a tough life, but has learned to let the past go and focus on all the positive things in his life such as his family, his friends, and the relationships he has been able to create. Not only is Aeron a transgender, but he was judged by this one factor. This is pretty much telling someone, “If you play football, you cannot be friends”. Many do not realize these two things have different words, but have the exact same many. This shows judging someone because of one aspect of their live. Many do not understand the word transgender, but assume people who define by this are a total disgrace.

For these reasons, Christopher’s character develops and changes throughout the book, and is showcased through his mental and emotional growth

To begin with, a role model is hardworking. Erin’s dad had to overcome many obstacles in his early life. “He was not from the richest family and had many financial issues. He also had to experience many of his close family members dying. As he grew older, he was able to build himself a career and become

When role models are positive, appropriate, and present, boys grow into constructive adults who contribute to society.” (Gladding & Villalba, 2012: 114). In reference to this quote from the journal “Imitation, Impersonation, and Transformation: Using Male Role Models in Films to Promote Maturity”, with my script I want to present the imaginary friend of Mike as a role model for Zachary because he has to confine to his imagination to deal with the real world and so anyone in the real world that Zachary might look up to, he forces their ideology onto Mike himself as Mike is merely a representation of what Zachary wants to be and so that is why he ends looking at Mike as a role

Role models have an astounding effect on the lives of young people in our society. A role model has the ability to shape the views, ideals, and actions of a young person. Role models help youth to discover how they wish to become in the future. The influence that role models have over young people is tremendous. It is important for role models to be positive and responsible in instilling good morals and values because future generations are directly dependent on the role models of today. By examining the influence of role models, role models in the community, and role models in the media, we will be able to determine the true effect that role models have on the lives of youth.

Role models are highly important for us psychologically, helping to guide us through life during our development, to make important decisions that affect the outcome of our lives, and to help us find happiness in later life. In that capacity

Throughout someone’s life they have a role model that they look up to and admire. Whether it be a super hero, a relative, or even a friend, they still look up to that individual. My role model comes in the form of a five foot five man, with short black hair, and a face just like mine. He’s my father and even though he’s no super hero, he’s still definitely the person I look up to the most. Whether it be supporting my dreams, needing someone to talk to, or needing a ride to a date, he’s always there for me. When it comes down to it he’s the person I admire most, my role model, father, mentor, and most importantly my friend.
