The Importance of Role Models for Senior Citizens


As people age, they tend to find new and different role models. There are many common role models for older people. Often, these role models are individuals who could easily retire. However, instead they continue working and remain active, making them great role models for the elderly. They prove that people can still be very productive in their “old age.” Typical role models for seniors include the presidential candidates, other politicians, and well known people of an older age.

Why is it important to have role models, even in the "golden years?"
We are often concerned about young people having great role models to help influence the direction of their lives.. Older people and people of all ages still need role models. These role models show elderly people that life can be full at any age. They encourage senior citizens to go out and do interesting things. It's not necessarily about doing anything extravagant. People can do simple things to live life to the fullest. We are all here on this earth until check out time, why not make the best of it and live it to the best of our abilities? Famous people like presidential candidates lead very spirited lives. They spend a lot of time working and traveling for debates, appearances, speeches, etc. People such as, Hillary Clinton, Donald Trump, Bernie Sanders, and many other people stay very active doing these things. Just because a person is older, doesn't mean they should give up. There are more doors to be opened and new things to do.
