The society that we
are living in these modern days is now very dangerous especially in our teens’
eyes. If they do not observe well their life future can be destroyed. In these
modern days the society has shifted its mindset from following positive role
models to negative role models. Let’s just take a quick look at what exactly
are these negative role models and positive role models.
Positive Role Models:
Positive Role Models:
These are in general the people that
influence the behaviour of the society in a positive way and people want to
copy what they do. What they do is to build people's lives in a way that
benefits everyone who is in that society. Good examples are musicians, their
message will be affecting the community in a positive way. These people can
be found in any sector business, arts or sports. In football we got people like
David Beckam, Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi among others. The world all over these people have shaped the lives of our teenagers in the
society to the extent that some of them want to be like them one day in their
soccer careers. Some wear football jerseys printed the name of Lionel Messi or Cristiano Ronaldo. This is what we call influencing the
society in a positive way. They inspire, motivate and shape the lives of our
teenagers in a positive way.
Negative Role Models:
The trend of nowadays is that the society now follows this group called negative role models. They affect and influence the community in a destructive way. The world all over we got good examples of these people of which for legal issues l cannot mention some names. We have football players sometimes who are talented but not disciplined and most of the time they are always doing negative things and teenagers tend to copy these bad behaviours thinking that it is good. We got musicians all over who sometimes are found doing drug abuse and our teenagers tend to copy these behaviours.
In conclusion, teenagers need to be taught to be able to differentiate good and bad behaviours .They must be able to differentiate between negative role models and positive role models. Let’s help our teenagers to go the top and be great leaders of tomorrow. I am one of those people that believe building Africa we must start by shaping the lives of our youths and teenagers.
