Nowadays, more and more people are influenced by role models, the main cause is the influence of the social media such as Facebook, Twitter in comparison with some years ago that the role models were the family or a close circle of friends and is less the number of people that are creating their own individuality or affected by someone. Role models can be all kind of people like celebrities, football players or politicians. They can motivate young people to decide what they want to do for example, what to study or dedicate. However, sometimes this influence or effect not produce a positive effect and can affect the lives of the people. On the other hand, there are some teenagers trying to create their own individuality with all of these aspects. The main reason is they do not want to copy and make mistakes, they want to do things by themselves and experiment. In my opinion, there must be a balance between their individuality and good things that they can copy from role models in order to have a better life and why not consider in the future that they can be a role model.
