My Role Model
To me, a good model is someone who is not perfect, but good enough in some criteria for me to follow. Amongst the characteristics to make a good model, my ideal one must be optimistic, strong at leadership, understanding and caring for people around.
I used to have a lot of role models. When I was a little child, my role model was Genghis Khan because he was strong and determined. He had been a leader of a group of people of the desert until he became the great king of Mongo Empire. As I became a little older, at the age of studying, my role model turned into scientist. I admired Marie Curie a lot for her contribution to the world as well as her hardship. Since I started to teach myself English, I idolized Helen Keller. She was blind and deaf since childhood but she overcame her disability to become one of the best role model for not only handicapped people like her but also the rest people in the world.
Now that I am grown up enough and understanding enough, I only have two role models in my life. They are my Father and my Mother. Not until I went to work that I realized that they are the greatest people of them all. In Vietnam, we still live with parents until we finished studying. For some family, their children only made it until high school. For my family, my parents have taken care of me until I graduated at University, which is when I was at the age of twenty three. Right after I went to work and earned my first salary, I wondered: “How could my parents manage it until now? How could they raise me up from very little child until I became a man myself?” They have all the good qualities to be a good model: optimistic enough in every circumstance of their lives, strong at leadership enough to overcome all my stupid mistakes, understanding enough to bear my teenager time, caring for me enough that I can feel the greatest love that they are giving me. Today I can proudly say to the world: I only have two role models in my life and they are my parents.

    My Mom is my role model. I guess this is due to the fact that I used to scarcely see my Dad because he comes home really late; he still does, though not as late, while my Mother took care of me ever since she quit the job as the General Manager when I was in 2nd grade. She is the one who is there for me whenever I have a problem, like a robot on standby, but she is also a harsh whip with her discipline though she never hit me. My most notable memory of my Mom is when I sucked at math in 3rd grade. I don't know how to do a problem so naturally, I asked her. However, after she taught the same problem 4 times, I still didn't get it. I was afraid she would get mad, but she didn't and in the end when I finally got it, I asked her why she is so patient. She simply replied "practice makes perfect", an old…

    Role models are very important when it comes to social learning because we are more likely to do what they do they do so we memorise what they do well and then we copy. This is because we look up to them and it can be very different from copying someone in the street. This is because we would rather imitate our role models because we may think they are the best in everything that they do. Personally my role model is Nelson Mandela because despite all the challenges that he faced through his life has been strong, passionate, worked hard and he stood to what he believed in no matter how much people wanted him dead. Another reason is because he has achieved a lot throughout his life, but unfortunately he’s passed away now even though this doesn’t change my mind. I want to be able to achieve similar things to him. For this reason I copy his behaviour when dealing with certain problems.…

    Slavery took place in Colonial America in a complicated way. Around 1960 historians describe slavery in certain in a way, which leads them to think that there is differences between Whites and Blacks when it comes to intelligence, civilization, morality or physical capacity. All of the sudden White starting to think they should be the leader of people from Africa. They think that people from Africa should be the one doing all the hard work. Then the Civil right movement began in the 20th century, which lead historians to rethink about race and also, that African are just as smart and capable of doing the things that White people are capable of doing. Slavery then became racial slowly in colonial America, which means slavery were force labor and was not dealt with race. The thing is not all forced laborers were black and to be black did not mean they were enslaved. Most of the Africans in America were enslaved. From early moments in the history of slave traders came to Jamestown around 1690 and in Massachusetts by 1630. Slavery began to grow slowly from east to west until after the American Revolution, slavery was not well know in the south at this time. Many of the men In Jamestown was indentured servants they were brought to America to work without pay under a rich white person for many years before they could become free. Indentured was over used during this time before slavery became well known. So for example the African that were brought to Jamestown in 1619 were not brought to be slave they were brought to be indentured servants. Some Africans were enslaved but they all had the same status as White indentured servants. White and black indentured servants were not treated very well. Just like African slaves, white servants received the same treatment. This typical labor lasted for several years for white and black. Most of them started to run away. They used to pay people back then to find slaves that ran away. Most slaves started to see each other as equals…

    In life there is always a person, or role model that you will look up to and admire. A person may admire their role model, or mentor, because of their looks, wit, or even general personality. No matter who you are there is always someone that you attempt to emulate in some way, shape, or form throughout your life. There is no limit to the amount of role models one person can have. There may only be one person whose ideas you look at and agree with whole heartedly, or you may take portions from a vast number of others in order to create your own unique persona, and ideas. For myself, a prominent mentor was my high school Chemistry and Physics teacher, Mr. Robert Hage.…
