Is Kim Kardashian the worst role model for women today?

tynamite's avatar I have no problem with her what she does to make money (her profession), but I do have a problem with her lack of morals when making money.

She can use her looks to make money however she wants for as long as she wants. Not everyone is good looking, and you could argue that having looks is just as much as a gift as being a singer, or being intelligent.

Kim Kardashian could tell Einstein that she worked just as hard to be a model, as he did coming up with the Theory of Relativity, just that she's born glamorous, and he's born intelligent - that they both can't do what each other does. Attractiveness being an unfair advantage when getting famous, doesn't make modelling any less respectful as a career, or any less of a gift to someone.

Some people are role models for how they impact society with their good contributions by their actions, and some people are role models for how they use their gifts to share what they can do with the world. Neither is more important than the other, it's just your perspective on how you look at it.

Am I going to say that the women in girl-band Danity Kane are bad role models, because all they do is sing? Of course not. And I'm not going to call Kim Kardashian a bad role model because she's a model? Of course not. She does acting too, so it's not all bad. ;)

I will say she's a bad role model for marrying a rich person for 72 days, and divorcing Kris because he got a publicity agent. Divorcing someone because you fear they might get more famous than you, does not make someone a good role model in my eyes. I don't even have an opinion on the porn tape.

What's an assertion, and what should I type in?

Compesh is a question and answer (and debate) website, so before you make a debate, you better learn what an assertion is. I suppose you already know what a question is, and that you've typed it in the box. ;)

An assertion, is basically a statement you can make, that is either true or false.

Richer people have better health.

The question for that would be, Do richer people have better health?

And don't forget to make your assertion, match your question.
