Role Model Review Outline
Directions:
* Identify the worldview of the role model you chose. Their worldview will be one (or a combination of two for some of the role models) of the worldviews that we have discussed in this course. * Write an Introduction of 3-5 sentences to set up the purpose of the outline. Include the identification of the worldview of the person you chose in the introduction. * Write a Thesis Statement. This should appear at the end of your introduction in the final draft of the paper. A sample thesis would look something like: Martin Luther King Jr.’s worldview can be seen in the way that he viewed family, the nature of God, and social issues. His view of these three topics will be compared with my own. * Address each question with a topic sentence (the first sentence in the paragraph) and 1-2 additional sentences (“a” = 1 sentence / “b” = 1 sentence). In the topic sentence you should clearly identify the topic being discussed. A sample topic sentence would look something like: Martin Luther King Jr.’s worldview can be seen in how he views the issue of family. * Write a Conclusion of 3-5 sentences to wrap up the purpose of the outline. In this paragraph you should explicitly state why you do or do not consider the individual you wrote about to be a role model. * Write your References in GCU style: These should be three academic references that you will use and cite throughout your paper on the final draft. * Total word count for this document should be 400-650 words.

I) Worldview of Role Model:
Stephen Hawking is an objectively defined Atheist. II) Introduction:
Stephen Hawking is a theoretical physicist and a professor at the University of Cambridge. He is one that is respected for his groundbreaking reach on the study of the universe as whole. He is also New York bestseller on multiple books about Cosmology. Stephen Hawking suffered from a rare disease called motor neuron disease. III) Thesis Statement:
“ The universe can create itself out of nothing,” says a man that many in the science world call a genius. Stephen Hawking’s worldview can be seen in the way he viewed Family issues in terms of Christianity and its importance, nature of God and the theory of the universe, and social issues. Stephen Hawking’s view on these three controversial topics and that of mine will be compared. IV) Describe the values and actions of your chosen Role Model in regards to one of the following: Family, Money/Career, Sexuality, Social Issues, or Nature of God.
Topic Sentence: a) Stephen Hawking’s worldview can be seen on how he views the social issues. V) Describe the values and actions of your chosen Role Model in regards to one of the following: Family, Money/Career, Sexuality, Social Issues, or Nature of God.
Topic Sentence:
a) Stephen Hawking’s worldview can be seen in how he views the issues of family. VI) Describe the values and actions of your chosen Role Model in regards to one of the following: Family, Money/Career, Sexuality, Social Issues, or Nature of God.
Topic Sentence: a) Stephen Hawking’s worldview can be seen in how he views the Nature of God. VII) Give two reasons why others would consider this person as a role model.
a) Stephen Hawking is a great Theoretical physicist since Albert Einstein.
b) Stephen Hawking was appointed Lucasian Professor of Mathematics at Cambridge University, the most famous academic chair in the world VIII) Conclusion:
Stephen Hawking is a great physicist and a well-known author on very interesting books. This theoretical physicist is celebrated by many for his work on cosmology, has great accomplishments and is probably a role model to many in the science world but whether or not his great researches more the world or not he is not a role model to me. Stephen Hawking has no regard for God and his creation. It is all a big fairy tale to him. And believes that God is irrelevant in this universe. Well, I happen to know that God is in the center of the universe and of mine. So that is why he is a role model for me.
