What Are Bad Role Models

Improved Essays
Role models can be viewed in many different aspects, its just dependent upon the individual. A role model can be literally anyone or anything. Some people may look at their favorite sports athlete or the president of the United States as an example. Other individuals may even say people like a deranged serial killer like Charles Manson or evil fictional characters like The Joker or The Green Goblin are their models of aspiration. Like these people, I also have two entities that I look up to myself, musician Travis Scott and my parents. Travis Scott shows me through his music that it is perfect not to fit in in and truly express yourself.

One thing that has always stuck with mw ever since my dad told me it was “that whatever you so choose to do in life, I will support you”. This made me know that my parents are always going to be apart of everything I do and that they believe that I can achieve anything. Another saying that stuck with me was the time I had graduated from high school and my mother told me that there was no doubt in her mind that I was going to be able to finish high school successfully. It’s small things like what she said, that make me feel as if I’m doing what I am supposed to be doing. These words that they convey to me, show me the power of encouragement and how they’re encouragement motivates me to always strive and prosper at anything I attempt. Their actions have always been noteworthy and exemplary to my siblings and I. My dad who is a pastor, believes in motivating people with positive messages, by inviting them to talk where he’ll give them advice and guidance from his own wisdom and through God’s word. My mom is a firm believer in giving back to the community. This is why she donates old clothes that she doesn’t wear and actively participates in and organizes our church’s annual toy drive each Christmas. I’d have to say they’re doing more useful and valuable thing than Travis Scott is

    Role models are people who positively influence and shape future generations based on their actions alone. Some role models are revered for their religious impact while others are known for their excellence and bravery in the military. An example of a consequential military leader whom I look up to is Nathan Hale because he demonstrated an unwavering amount of fearlessness while willingly paying the ultimate sacrifice for the good of a nascent America which is why he should be regarded as a moral role model. Nathan Hale was born on June 6th, 1755 to puritan parents in Coventry, Connecticut. When he reached the age of 14, he did not have to travel far for education and chose to enroll in Yale’s class of 1773.…

Kanye West is a creative genius, and has a work ethic unparalleled in the genre he makes music for. He has won 21 grammys and that should somewhat display the work ethic and talent that he has. His lyrics are not the reason he has reached the top level of Hip-Hop.…
