My House of Values
My 3 Most Important Values
Courage
I think that courage is really important to me because you have to be able to stand up for yourself and to be brave. You need to be able to stand up for your rights, passions and what you believe in. You need your opinion/voice to be heard. Courage gives you the power to be able to chase after what you love. If I didn’t have the courage to enter this art exhibition, I would of never found my passion and talent for painting. To me having courage is a very important value to have because you are not going to be able to go far in life without it.
Kindness
I think that kindness is a very important value to have. It is very important to me because it means being kind to others and also being kind to your self. Just showing a simple act of kindness can boost someone’s feelings confidence. This is very important to me I love to make people happy and smile. Its really important because being kind means caring about others and showing empathy towards them. Having kindness means that the world will be a happier place.
Friendship
Friendship is a really important value to me because you have someone to lean on and to trust. You can tell them things that you don’t tell anyone else, like your deep dark secrets and someone who will always support you. Having friendships will boost your happiness and give you a sense of belonging. This value impacts me and my life because having friends means having someone to talk to and not being lonely. For example when I am feeling sad sometimes I can call my friends and they never fail on putting a smile on my face.
Good Role Model
What behaviours does she demonstrate to show that she is healthy?
Emma Watson is a very healthy and fit person. Some behaviours that she shows is that she goes on a healthy diet. She doesn’t starve her self or only eats one meal a day. Her way of going on a diet is eating what her idea of real food is. This is food that isn’t processed and doesn’t have chemicals but food that is healthy and fresh. Emma is committed to her work out routines. Everyday she will work out and is committed to take care of her body. She always wants to move and keep fit. Emma Watson is a strong, young independent woman who is determined to take care of herself.
Emma Watson
What does she look like? Is she healthy? How do you know?
She is a very pretty young woman. She takes care of her self because she looks fit and talks care of her body. You know this because she is very cautious on what she eats and does a lot of exercise/work out routines.
What message does she promote? Why is it inspiring and healthy?
Emma Watson promotes many messages. Such as healthy eating, working out regularly, feminism and wearing sustainable clothes. These are all very inspiring and healthy messages because they promote people to take care of them selves, stand up for equality and to take care of the environment. She promotes people to eat healthy foods that are fresh and not processed. She promotes people to exercise regularly. Wearing sustainable clothes means clothes from op-shops or ones that are made out of sustainable materials. All of these messages that she promotes are very inspiring but I think that feminism is particularly inspiring because not many young woman promote it as strong as Emma Watson. She is a very inspiring woman who inspires many young woman and teenagers to do the same, to try to incorporate more equality into our world, to take care of your bodies and to take care of the environment.
Why should young people look up to this person as a role model?
Because Emma Watson is a very inspiring person who wants to change the world to a better place. When she was younger she acted as Hermione in the world wide famous series, Harry Potter. Who influenced many young generations to admire intelligence. She inspires people because she believes that anyone can achieve their dreams no matter how far away they are or hard. She believes that being smart is never a bad thing. Emma Watson will always fight for equality and for a better world. She is a very good role model because she always is determined to take care of herself and the others around her. She has so many good morals and is a an amazing role model that many people inspire to be.
Thinking back to your House of Values activity, what values does she demonstrate?
Emma Watson demonstrates multiple values that make our world a happier place. One of her main values is Love. She finds it very important that you should take care of yourself and love yourself, not self hate. She believes your should value yourself and not starve yourself so you look skinny.
“I don’t have perfect teeth, I’m not stick thin. I want to be the person who feels great in her body and can say that she loves it and doesn’t want to change anything.” ~Emma Watson
Another value that Emma Watson demonstrates is to be humble. When she achieved her success and fame of acting as Hermione, she never let it go to head. She believes that in any circumstance staying humble will get you far in life because it will make you appreciate that what comes to you is through hard work and having a lot of dedication. One last Value that she demonstrates is humour. Emma Watson thinks that it is very important to have a sense of humour, because being able to make light of a situation will help you move forward towards your goal though the bumps and set backs. Emma Watson demonstrates many values that are important and makes the world a better brighter place.
Bad Role Model
What behaviours does she demonstrate to show that she is unhealthy?
Some behaviours that Kim Kardashian demonstrates that are unhealthy is that she is obsessed with perfecting her body. She is obsessed on looking perfect all the time, which is an unachievable thing because no one can look perfect. Being over obsessed with your body is very unhealthy for you as it can lead to a dieses called Body dysmorphic disorder. Another behaviour that shows she is unhealthy is that Kim Kardashian will take photos of herself anywhere. Even in pubic bathrooms she will take pictures of herself and post them on social media. Their are many behaviours that she demonstrates that are unhealthy.
Kim Kardashian
What does she look like? Does she look unhealthy? How do you know?
No, Kim Kardashian does not look unhealthy on the outside. She looks like a very fit skinny woman. This is because she goes on a plant based diet and works out. But her body shape is not regular for many people to have as she is very skinny.
What message does she promote? Why is it unhealthy?
This celebrity promotes on having a skinny, curvy body and being pretty. Because she is a famous influencer, many people see her photos. This is a very unhealthy message to promote because this means many people that look at her photos will feel ashamed of there body and feel body shamed. This is very bad because it can lead to people feeling insecure, not valuing them selves and start to not eat just because of a photo that Kim Kardashian posted.
Do you think young people should look up to her as a role model? Why or why not?
No. I do not think that young people should look up to her as a role model. This is because she is obsessed with her body but not in a healthy way. She always wears an excessive amount of makeup wherever she goes which encourages people to do the same and not show their true selves. She is not a good role model because she encourages people to post on social media and show their bodies. A study in the UK shows that 8 in 10 young teenage girls say that pressure from social media is extremely overwhelming and leads to mental illness for their age group. I strongly agree that Kim Kardashian is not a good role model for you people because she causes people to not value them selves and to live a fake life.
Is everything you hear, read or see in the media true?
No, not everything in the media is true. The media doesn’t always say the truth or say the whole story. For example the media only shows Kim Kardashian photos of her smiling or having fun. Not photos of her crying or being depressed. They can say white lies or lies that change your whole perspective on something. Sometimes they only say the good things that are happening but they don’t explain the things that go on behind the scenes.
