Since
the beginning of society, role models have been existing and from our childhood,
we tend to idolize our parents and by the time we have grown up, we tend to
admire other people, like celebrities for example, but what happens when these
modern celebrities are not precisely role models.
On one hand, not all modern celebrities are poor role models, like Malala
Yousafzai has faced several problems in her young lifetime, fought even death
caused by a murder attempt in her own bus school. We also need to take Emma
Watson into consideration because she may be recognized by her role of Hermione
Granger in the saga of Harry Potter but beyond being the pretty girl on the screen,
she also is a Goodwill Ambassador for U.N. Women who made a strong speech and
said it to make conscience for all the people who do not see the problem of
feminism which as a word has been used badly, to describe and patronize women.
While there
are good types of role models it is also true to say that bad role models
predominate the world. On the other hand, we can find through all internet
people who make their life as they want but in progress, their appearance or
look gives society a bad impression. People now idolize mediocrity. Let’s take
for example the girls who make videos playing games, which they are called
streaming clothless almost scratching to porn. There are already consequences
in our children caused by the recent artist that sings purely trash pretending to
be cool. Unfortunately, kids seem to like these good role models and tend to
imitate them making tok-toks acting like dumbs just to get the approval of their
friends. The worst thing is that most of the young people nowadays are doing this
worthless lifestyle and the most annoying is that they get paid a big amount of
money and people who studied college, master’s degree or even a doctorate can´t
find a job with a good salary.
So
modern celebrities are a curse or a blessing? Well, in my opinion, I´d say that
likes to destroy genders. The way you find your own role model relies on you
and as parents, you should be aware of what kind of people your children
follow.
