TASK 1 – MY HOUSE OF VALUES

My 12 Core Values Include:

Value 1 – Love ( 11% )

The first value that I will be talking about is love. I feel like love is a very important core value to me as there is a lot of love in the world to share. Love is important to me because without love, the world would be a very dark, dull and miserable world where no one likes anyone else. I would certainly not like to live in this world. I feel like love changes the way you feel, act and talk to people. For example, you would act differently with someone you do not know and you would act and be more comfortable with your family and people whom you love. Love can also alter the decisions that you make as it could be the verge on deciding whether or not to do something. I feel like love drives me to the person I am everyday and to help anyone in need of love.

Value 2 – Gratitude ( 7% )

The second value that I am going to talk about is gratitude. Although I only gave it 7% of my house, I feel like gratitude is one of my biggest core values. Gratitude is one of my biggest values because gratitude teaches you to be grateful with what you have in life to make the best of what you have, even if it is nothing. I mostly use gratitude when I am down in the dumps or feeling tired and sad. I take a minute to realise what I have and to be grateful for it. This can really help me in life as I can learn to be grateful with what I have and not to worry about what I don’t have.

Value 3 – Kindness ( 9% )

The last value that I am going to talk about is kindness. Kindness is everywhere, people just have to find it to use it. I feel like kindness is one of my core values because being kind leads to friendliness which makes the world a much better place for everyone. I feel like kindness is the best value because it can be showed and expressed in many different ways and situations. Scientific research presents that showing kindness has been shown to increase self esteem, empathy and compassion and improves the mood of someone. This is why kindness is good for both you and the people receiving the kindness as they feel better.

Task 2 – Role Models

MY HEALTHY ROLE MODEL – STEPH CURRY

QUESTION 1

Some of the things that Stephen Curry demonstrates to show that he is healthy include that he has a healthy mindset as he is always kind to his team and his teammates as well as the opposing team that they are facing. He also shows that how through believing in yourself, hard work and dedication, it is possible to achieve your dreams and get where you want to be. Steph Curry is a great model for someone has achieved many dreams. He also shows the rise from being an underdog in the NBA to one of the most celebrated and well known NBA player.

QUESTION 2

Stephen Curry looks incredibly healthy as he looks really fit with a muscular body for the ability to play really well in the NBA as well as one of the best in the NBA. He also has maintained the tattoos on his body as there are not too many. His body also gives me a goal to achieve and strive for as I want my body to be very healthy. Stephen Curry was born in Akron, Ohio and followed in the path of his father Dell Curry, who was an NBA player.

QUESTION 3

Stephen Curry promotes and sponsors many different and various companies included sports brands, sports clothing and a car brand. This also makes Stephen Curry a good role model as he is not promoting or sponsoring any bad or unhealthy things. This is inspiring as a very successful person in the NBA is promoting all these big brands and makes us want to look at them and possibly buy them too. It is also healthy because the brands and companies that he is sponsoring are not unhealthy or bad in anyway.

QUESTION 4

I think that young people should look up to Stephen Curry as a role model as he is a very good person in general. He is really high in popularity, health, wealth and is really kind in general to everyone around him and also people he doesn’t know. Some people have already started to look up to him as a mentor or a role model as they are taking Stephen Curry’s masterclasses about how to get better at basketball. Looking at one of his masterclasses, Stephen Curry is a natural role model and teacher. This is why young people should look up to him as a role model.

QUESTION 5

Some of the values that Stephen Curry shows and demonstrates that link with my core values include, confidence, courage, kindness and perseverance. I think that Stephen Curry uses these values in a really positive way and is kind and nice to everyone. Something that made me put down confidence and courage as some values that he shows really often is because he explains that he used to always be the smallest or shortest in the team and that he still is. But this didn’t stop him from reaching his goals and dreams. These are some of the values that Stephen Curry shows.

ONE OF STEPH’S GREAT GAME WINNING SHOTS!

MY UNHEALTHY ROLE MODEL – JUSTIN BIEBER

QUESTION 6

Justin Bieber has done a lot of things apart from making songs. Although his impact is strong, is it a healthy impact? Justin has done a lot of bad things from graffitiing on the walls of brazil to attacking innocent cameramen. Although these aren’t really bad things to do, they are still fairly bad for a teenager. Justin Bieber has also taken charges of drink driving which is a bad thing to do as a teenager.

QUESTION 7

Although Justin Bieber does not look unhealthy, as he is fit and healthy, he does not seem like the right healthy person type. Something that makes me see an unhealthy aspect in Justin Bieber would be the many several tattoos that he displays on his body. This reminds me and relates to many other bad influences that also display tattoos. Something else that would make Justin Bieber an unhealthy role model would be that he drinks. All of the above represent him as an unhealthy role model to others.

QUESTION 8

A message that Justin promotes would be a healthy and positive message and vibe. He helps by donating to charities as well as hospitals. Overall, this is a very good thing to do from Justin and changes my views towards him. Justin Bieber will also go to sign a contract with Calvin Klein which is also a healthy move as it is not something unhealthy or bad. It is not that of a unhealthy habit because he is not doing anything bad.

QUESTION 9

Overall, Justin Bieber is a good person and is nice, but he sometimes can get a bit out of hand and can become an unhealthy role model. A role model is a good person that another looks up to be better and follow in their steps. Although Justin is a good person, he is not the perfect role model for younger admirers and followers who want to grow up to be musicians and singers when older.

QUESTION 10

Is everything you hear, read or see in the media true? The answer to that question is no. Not everything you hear, read or see in the media is supposed to be true because there could be people out there that are trying to manipulate and mislead others. The media presents us with many examples of actions, products, services and lifestyle choices to prevent many things. But not all of the options are useful and safe. This is when the viewer or target audience should make decisions. This would genuinely be difficult as they can appear very convincing and some try to trick us into believing myths or not quite true information so we will buy their advertised product.
