Role Model Essay
For this assignment I chose Stephen Hawking as my role model. Stephen Hawking is a theoretical physicist and a professor at the University of Cambridge. He has also written several books, which include The Grand Design and A Brief History of Time as well as several articles that received both praise and criticism. I chose Stephen Hawking because his worldview is drastically different from own worldview. Stephen Hawking is an objectively defined Atheist, while I strongly believe in God. Throughout this essay I will compare and contrast my worldview to that of Stephen Hawking’s worldview. The three areas where I will be comparing and contrasting my worldview with the worldview Stephen Hawking will be Family, Social Issues and Nature of God I will also share my worldview on Family, Social Issues and the Nature of God. Lastly, I will discuss my reasons why Stephen Hawking cannot be my personal role model. Stephen Hawking’s family worldview is different from that of my own worldview. When he was growing up he was not as brilliant as he has become after he was diagnosed with the disease that immobilized him for the rest of his life. Hawking’s first wife and children often found difficult to live with him. (Zycinski ,275) Even though he is immobile and handicapped to a wheelchair his first wife until she found it difficult to cope with him. His first wife at some point before their divorce moved a man she was in love with into their apartment. This is an issue with my worldview of a family in the articles I have read on Hawking’s paint in a light of someone more concerned with his career and fame than family. My worldview of family is different that of Hawking’s because my family is very important and drive the things I want to accomplish. Stephen Hawking’s view on social issues is different from my own worldview. One obvious situation that creates a social issue for Hawking’s is his health
