panday's integrity was of such a high level that u consider him a role model...well good for u
cos he got jail? and? his UNC govt was far more able than this current one, and it was a performing govt. and he showed how to go from humble roots to become a noted figure. jus cos you'z PNM, be a lil objective, nah....
Yeah.... how about you let your kids find a role model that didn't go to jail. Besides, what is so wrong with humility that one must strive to escape it at all costs?
I think you must first find a role for yourself before searching for a model to aim towards. Otherwise it just become "famous/rich people worship"
I doh have kids....but then yep, it's wrong to have people one admires, ent?

No it's great to have people one admires. I'm just saying most people choose to admire someone based on their social standing and not on their attributes.
Why not admire the nuts man for working hard?
Why not admire a grass cutting man for taking pride in his work and making sure it's done properly?
Why not admire that lady behind the food counter for kindness when she give some real justice peices cuz she find you looking hungry?
Why not admire those vagrants by the dial for their physique?
Why not admire Rastafarians for recognising that a role model can be found in anyone and striving to emulate the best they find in everyone?
No, people would admire Usain Bolt for working hard and Steve Jobs for taking pride in his work and Mother Theresa for kindness and Hugh Jackman for his physique when all of these individuals are completely out of reach. There are role models all around you.

In England ministers are expected to show a unified front, but discussions about matters are held within the gov't and everyone is allowed to express their view and vote on matters which are then brought before the parliament. Do u think that in Trinidad non cabal ministers are allowed a point of view or is there somewhat of a dictatorship within the party in govt?
Role models in society to me are honest, hard working ppl who try to better themselves and their community everyday such as some police, firemen, doctors, judges, volunteers in ngo's, etc and anyone who brings about something positive by their day to day activities

Why should a role model be someone well known and out of reach when there are role models all around you (I.e. someone with an attribute that you admire and will like to emulate yourself)
My point is that my alternative is better because having the person within reach means having them available to actually mentor your if you really wanted.
Now what is your reason for having a role model that is a well known individual out of reach?
Also, no one is perfect but read over the point about rastafarians that I made.

I understood perfectly. which is why i disagree. many people have role models whom they ent know. a person can think "bolt does run fast, i wanna run fast too". inspiration can come from anything......
