What is the difference between a mentor and a role model?

A role model can be anybody someone admires and wants to be like. You don't have to know the role model, and the role model doesn't need to know you. A kid can admire someone like a professional athlete, actor, or even a character in a book or movie and decide he wants to be like him/her.

A mentor takes an active role in guiding someone, either with life goals or with specific career/job/educational aims.

A mentor may or may not be a role model, and a role model doesn't have to be a mentor at all.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
