People benefit from learning about the flaws of people they respect or admire. What they soon learn is that people make mistakes, no one is perfect. Including those they may look up to the most, for example their parents. Their parents are the ones who teach them right from wrong, and so the kids may expect their parents to go by this as well. Most of the times the kids are disappointed to find out their parents aren’t perfect either. After that, they either chose to make the same mistake or chose to learn from it. “Monkey see, monkey do.” It can even be beneficial coming from someone they don’t even know. It could be someone who sang their favorite song, or stared on their favorite TV show. For a kid to have a celebrity as an idol is very common. Celebrities are people just like us so they are going to make mistakes; it is how they deal with the problem that’s beneficial. But because they are famous, everyone can see their mistake. People can also benefit to one’s peers. Watching someone they love or admire, make a mistake than learn from it, is extremely beneficial. They can accept that person for who they are and become more mature. It is very important that we learn at a young age that no one is perfect, and they can’t always set high expectations for everyone. Especially if they set the expectations for someone they have known all their life. Everyone’s has flaws and they should be expected. "There are no mistakes, no coincidences. All events are blessings given to us to learn from." It is not always good to

    To start with, a major life lesson Scout and Jem Finch learn is not to judge others until you step into their shoes and see life how the other person sees it. Jem and Scout learn this important lesson from Atticus. An example of this is when Scout was making the new teacher irate because Scout already knew how to read. Scout knew how to read because she read with her dad almost every night. Miss Caroline, the teacher, told her to tell her dad to stop reading with her. Scout loved to read with Atticus, which in turn annoyed Scout. Atticus steps in, however, and says to Scout not to judge someone until you see their side of the story. Atticus says “’You never really understand a person until you consider things from his point of view… until you climb into his skin and walk around in it.’” (Lee 22). Atticus explains to Scout that it was Miss Caroline’s first year teaching and that she had just been taught a new way to teach things, the Dewey Decimal System. A different example of how not judging others is a life lesson is at the end of the novel when Scout is on Arthur Radley’s porch, and she realizes what life is like for Arthur Radley. She realizes that Arthur Radley can see the entire neighborhood, and that he doesn’t need to go out, because he can experience the feeling of living in the neighborhood just by looking out of his front window.…

Often we can learn from others mistakes that way we don’t have to feel the pain ourselves to understand why we shouldn’t do something or be a certain way. Also we can learn from history and past mistakes that lead them into bad times and disputes.

    First, learning about their flaws shows that everyone have there days. By this I mean, that if you just think people that are admired dont have flaws then seeing that they do you will know that everybody have flaws at the end. Now it up to you to make it known or not, so if you dont then nobody will ever know this can be a reason that you dont think they have their flaws.

Whereas, if you just tell family it will remain there. People that are admired have pronblems they just dont allow the world to know about there problems.…

    At the same time, kids often do not understand that doing so can cause repercussions because they believe they’re doing what is right. For instance, when Scout’s first grade teacher does not understand why a student will not accept a quarter, Scout goes on to tell her “‘Ah--Miss Caroline...he’s a Cunningham’”(26). She continues to explain that the Cunninghams do not take anything from anybody. In Scout’s mind, she’s helping Miss Caroline learn about the town. She believes that she’s saving the teacher from “subsequent mortification” (28). Scout did not think before standing up to ‘educate’ Miss Caroline and did not realize that maybe it was not necessary. It was her instinct, which happens to be very common in young kids. They often do not understand that in this case, knowledge of townsfolk naturally comes over time. About a day later, another student in the class answered Miss Caroline when she did not grasp why another student was behaving a certain way: ‘He’s one of the Ewells, ma’am’” (36). Both times the students’ do not realize that their teacher not knowing about the person in question is not something that needs fixing. Because of this, the students do not understand why it frustrates her so much. Miss Caroline is new to the area and is not used to it yet. To…
