Health Project – Role Models and Identity

This project came in two parts.

Part 1: My House of Values

Using a list we were provided, we were to choose the 10 most important values for you to build your house. The size of the bricks will indicate how much each value is worth to you and each brick must be labelled with the value selected. My most important values were placed at the bottom to form a solid foundation and I worked my way up. Then we were to place a % on each of the values we had selected. This must reach 100% in total. My final step was to select 3 core values from any part of my house and explain in greater detail why each value is important to me. In my answer, I needed to give examples of how these values impact the way I live my life, my interactions with others and the decisions I make.

The list of values we were provided

Part 2: Role Models

Link to my work: https://portfolio.ascollege.wa.edu.au/samuel.arnold/2022/05/29/role-models-and-identity-part-2-role-models/

For this task, I had to select 2 celebrities who are good and bad role models and answer five different questions about each. The questions for the good role model are as follows:

  1. What behaviours does this person demonstrate to show that they are healthy?
  2. What do they look like? Are they healthy? How do you know?
  3. What message does this person promote? Why is it inspiring and healthy?
  4. Why should young people look up to this person as a role model?
  5. Thinking back to your House of Values activity, what values does this person demonstrate?

And here are the questions for the bad role model:

  1. What behaviours does this person demonstrate to show that they are unhealthy?
  2. What do they look like? Do they look unhealthy? How do you know?
  3. What message does this celebrity promote? Why is it unhealthy?
  4. Do you think young people should look up to this person as a role model? Why or why not?
  5. Is everything you hear, read or see in the media true? Discuss.

Ps. My Bibliography is at the end of Part 2.
