Should we follow role models like religiousmasters, financial elites, war heroes or sports stars? I basically agree withthe speaker's assertion that people should develop his own way of thinking.However, I concede that role models are important to human, as they serve aspositive example and standard of behavior. By imitating them, one is morelikely to prove his personality and character.
To begin with, almost of us have rolemodels in our life and they affect us in a positive way. In most cases, theirstory and experience inspire us and encourage us to become what we appreciateto be. Role models are conductive to pay regardless gain, to devote their liveto the people who need help. Take Mother Teresa for instance, she spent most ofher time helping and saving the shirtless and barefoot children in India. Justreading her story has already help people reconsider about live, peach, and themission of nations. Thousands of thousands people were touched by her effort,thousands of volunteers join her action, the rich patronize her organizationand the congress awarded her the most pre prize, the Nobel Peace Prize. Aspeople said, she gave the honor to the price. Form the Mother Teresa, we learnthat to what extend a role model could affect and improve other people.
A function of promoting role models is tounite the whole society and thus provide benefits to every individual.Nowadays, the younger generation tends to be ego centric and be different tohis family, his community and the whole society. Some of them lose themselvesin due to lacking faith and destiny in his mind. It is the obligation of governorsto identify, award and promote people who has the qualities as a role model,just as they do with Martin Luther King, Mother Teresa, and President Lincoln.Only when one realizes his duty and potential capability to gain success andthereby help others, he tends to progress and keep away from bad things like dragsor marijuana.
However, following the way of role modelsis not simply copying their action. Some youngsters view a particular athletestar or movie star as their role models. They purchase what his use and ware thesame clothing. Nevertheless, all these superficial behavior contribute to onlya waste of money. It is essential to analyze the reason and motion inside the models.By the learning value system, he can be more conductive to perform better.
Admittedly, role models are first mortalsand they make mistakes we do. Therefore, it is not wise for one to imitateevery thing of them without fully comprehending the motion behind them. Consider.Some sports star are accuse for taking drags and other scandles, it isessencial for us to understand that no matter how well her perform in bootballfield and tennis counts, his way of ling is another matter.
In sum, both individual and a society need rolemodels. We should emphasis on the merits of role models and learn from them todevelop our own way of being good and beneficial to others. |
