Excellent point, DoggyStyle2. I agree that people who are in the media (like actors, singers, rappers, athletes) are AUTOMATICALLY given the title of role model. I've notice that some of them say that they didn't ask nor do the want to be role models. They act as if that's a bad title. It's good when someone looks up to you. I'm thinking that maybe they feel pressured or they feel that it's too much for them to take on. You mean to tell me that it's better for these people to make millions off of the money that the public spends to endorse their products, watch their movies, or buy their CD's rather than for the public to actually like them and see them as a good and respectable person? I just don't get it.
On the other hand, I also agree that family members (particularly fathers and mothers) should be positive role models for children. But we have to be realistic. Children should be able to see POSITIVE role models all around. Remember..."it takes a VILLAGE to raise a child".
