[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Role Models?  Why?  I can't stand how people encourage that.  [b]A role model is usually someone who is nto out in the public eye encouraging someoen to be the best person they can be to give back and encourage people to follow through with their desires[/b].

If they wanted to be role models they would be at those schools on their time working with kids who want to go into the arts.

I went to a school in Ohio where a very famous actor went, he spent a lot of his time with us working on our school productions, singing, dancing, improv.  He never came in a for hire car, he never came with a group of handlers, he just showed up, rolled up his sleeves and gave back.

I have not seen or heard of any celeb that would do that now.  That person I speak of who would come to our school several times a year, Paul Newman.

You're describing a motivational speaker. A role model is a person whose behavior, example, or success is or can be emulated by others, especially by younger people. (Get it? They "model" the "role," whether that role is "athlete" or "artist" or "mom" or "decent person".) The role model doesn't have to do anything to reach out to the people who want to emulate him or her.
