VALUE 1:
I think self respect is a very important because It guides you to do the right thing. Self respect is the key and a very important thing to have in life. To have respect to yourself, but others as well will is great and will benefit you in the future. In my household this is vital as it helps you to succeed and achieve your goals. Respect in general is imperative in my household as maintaining it keeps things running smoothly, and reduces chaos. |
VALUE 2:
Gratitude is a key thing, as it’s important to be grateful for what you have. Sometimes this is difficult but one major thing I learnt is something Mrs Provis said. Instead of ‘I have to go to school’, you say ‘I GET to go to school’. This straight away, changes your mindset and makes you think about how lucky you are to have the opportunity to go to school.
VALUE 3:
I think having balance in a good thing to practice in life. This is because it will keep you healthy, both mentally and physically.
Role Models
Good Role Model: Zendaya
- What behaviours does this person do to show
that they are healthy?
Zendaya has the energy and athleticism to perform the stunts and in her films and seems happy. She shows how she maintains her diet and workout routine through social media and the positive outcome that comes from that. Although she also believes that it’s ok to take a break from all that and take time for yourself, every once in a while. She expresses the fact that not everyone has the opportunity to do this. She supports charities and campaigns that provide nutrition and access to health care to underserved communities. She also normalizes therapy and opens up to her fans about her experience with it. She expressed that it brought her peace and calmness, especially when she’s not in the best mental state. Overall, I believe these actions prove that Zendaya is a positive and healthy person.
- What do they look like? Are they healthy? How
do you know?
Zendaya’s quite slim and she keeps up with a healthy diet to maintain her physique. She promotes body positivity and believes that it’s important to treat yourself time to time. What does Zendaya looks like? Unlike many other celebrities, she has never dyed her hair and kept her natural colour to this day.
- What message does this celebrity promote?
Why is it inspiring and healthy?
Zendaya supports and promotes campaigns and charities that are dedicated to providing underserved and underprivileged communities with access to food, school supplies, health treatments, and disaster relief. Zendaya has also been an advocate for voting over the years. In October 2016, she was one of the celebrities to participate in “Vote Your Future” initiative and appeared in a campaign video. Finally, she also urged tall women to embrace their height and not shy away from heels (Zendaya herself is 5’10”). This is inspiring and healthy because it encourages woman and helps them gain confidence in themselves
- Why should young people look up to this
person and try to follow their message?
Promoting charities will increase awareness about the cause, especially with a celebrity like Zendaya promoting it, it will really benefit form her involvement. Woman should follow Zendaya’s message about embracing their height because it will support them and show that it’s nothing to be ashamed about, but instead proud, she does a great job building confidence in people.
- Thinking back to your House of Values activity,
what values does this person demonstrate?

Bad Role Model: Kylie Jenner
- What do they look like? Do they look unhealthy? How do you know?
Kylie Jenner demonstrates a people-oriented style of leadership because she has to listen to what her customers think to make new and lucrative product. She also demonstrates reverent power, the Kylie Jenner Lip Challenge, and charismatic leadership. She does not in any way look unhealthy although is frequently questioned about her lip filler and her transformation with plastic surgery over the years. The media has different opinions of this but personally think that this doesn’t make her unhealthy and can choose to do whatever she wants.
- What message does this celebrity promote? Why is it unhealthy?
She promotes Clean, Even Makeup & Skincare Through social media, she has been able to build demand for her products. Other strategies she used include creating “limited edition” stock and having pop-up stores drive more attention and want for the products. Since Kylie Cosmetics is predominantly an online-only brand, the hype about a pop-up store was immense. But the reason I chose her as the bad role model is because she uses her title to make money and takes complete advantage of it as her products are very low quality and very overpriced. Her products are not practical and are simply selling just because of her fame. The quality of her merchandise is very poor, something the whole world seems to agree on.
Do you think young people should look up to this person as a role model? Why or why not?
In 2015, Kylie really rose to fame within the beauty industry as she launched her own cosmetics line, the infamous Kylie Lip Kits. Helping to kickstart the matte liquid lipstick trend, Kylie made her mark on the industry and has continued to play an integral part in its success. Although her previous fame also helped with her success, which she then took advantage of and didn’t care about the quality of the products her was selling, which was a huge disappointment for her fanbase. So, I think people should look up to her in the way she started her own business and perused that, but work towards selling good products that are worth spending money for, something that they should not look up to kylie for.
- Is everything you hear, read or see in the media true? Discuss.
False news travels faster online. False information on the internet travels faster than the truth, said a new study. Not everything you hear about Kylie Jenner on the internet is true. People speculate about her plastic surgery a lot, especially her lip transformation. Although she’s admitted to it, so the media knows the truth about this. Although there’s a different story for businesses, all four of them. She markets her products, very highly of course, like any other influencer would. Although all the reviews are very poor. Her skin line seems very concerning to many dermatologists, which state that her products contain terrible ingredients which harms your skin. There have also been many complaints about her products causing severe reactions to the skin and this put her sales down. But her intense fame means that people will keep purchases her products, to show off to the media.
