The role of finding the right example for young people is hard to overestimate. Nowadays, plenty of youngsters are inspired by famous Hollywood stars, all sorts of influencers and other celebrities and try to emulate them. While some argue that media widen the range of role models, others believe that it can create an array of self-esteem and mental health problems. This essay will examine both positive and negative sides of this trend before asserting that it is rather a detrimental one.
On the one hand, having the whole internet on hand to find an appropriate role model can help tremendously. Moreover, not everyone was lucky enough to born in a decent family. For example, when a parent is dependent on drugs, it would be much better to take an example from someone advocating for healthy lifestyle and self-improvement. From this standpoint, being exposed to an enormous number of potential role models as someone who struggles to find a right example among family members can be more than valuable.
I aim for a formal writing style. Thanks in advance!
