Role models are people that other people look up to as an example and to be imitated. Unfortunately, a role model doesn't have a to be an intelligent, mature, kind, or good person. With the recent Logan Paul controversy this is clear. He seems to have hundreds of thousands of fans who look up to him despite his immaturity and poor decisions. That's not a good thing! His influence over these fans could have a very negative impact on how they think and behave in this world. A rise of positive role models is so important to help counteract what these negative role models are teaching and encouraging.

This would be the optimal way to help kids understand what is right and wrong online, but not all parents have the time, ability, or the willingness to monitor what their kids are watching.
Even smart kids can be swayed by the wrong person. Someone who is popular and followed by many people can make something horrible seem funny or okay - or they can say something in ignorance that has a huge impact on a kid watching.
If it's a popular and convincing person, even the smartest kid can be swayed into thinking or doing something that is completely out of line with with what they think is right.
Websites Should Be Cracking Down On Negative Role Models
There are some that argue that the responsibility shouldn't just fall on the parent's shoulders. Websites like YouTube shouldn't be allowing the ignorant and disrespectful videos and other content online, but they are.

And for parents — note, this got past safety filters and had no age settings. It’s time for @YouTube to take responsibility here too. And where are our regulators? #BanLoganPaul https://t.co/7FJ831IUpM

A role model is a person looked to by others as an example to be imitated, for me that is Esther. I will soon be becoming a Bat Mitzvah and when I enter adulthood I inspire to be like Esther. For hundreds of years Esther’s has been seen as a heroine, but
A role model is a person whose behavior, example, or success is or can be emulated by others, especially by younger people. A role model to me is Peyton manning. Role models should have good leadership qualities, should be confident, and be able to admit their own mistakes. Role models should have good leadership qualities.
Positive role models are so important in our society, someone who they can look up to and be a positive impact on their lives. So many times, in our society, so many adolescences marvels at role models that have no talent like the Kardashian or these reality TV stars. I like the positive role models for adolescence that encourage them to make smart choices in their lives and builds them up overall. One positive role model for adolescence would have to be the rapper J Cole, there are a lot of rappers that talk about negative things in their music like violence and having the most money. The rapper J Cole sings about being positive and loving yourself, he is a lot different then other rappers in our society, the reason I picked him is because

Online, everything you post is permanent and all things can be traced back to you. If parents monitor their children’s online use they can be assured that they don’t post something that can ruin their future. Furthermore, I agree with Coben because there are so numerous stories of scandals people have gotten into because of what they posted. For example, David McMillan talks about two teens ruined their lives in his “How To Ruin Your Life In 14 Minutes”. He explains how two teens messed up their lives by posting a video “in which they spewed a truckload of racist comments.”

Imagine being followed everywhere by a government agent. They’re watching your every move, and they’ll report you if you even make a wrong facial movement. This is essentially the case in George Orwell’s novel, 1984. Run by an English socialist government called the Party, the people’s every move is watched through telescreens. Citizens are not individual, but rather an extension of the Party.
Many people have a person that they look up to and who encourages them. It 's someone who I think doesn 't give up and gets back up when they fall down, who has an impact to other people around them and they work for what they have earned. A person that is a role model to me is a man named Kobe Bryant. He is a basketball player that accomplished many things in his career. He was also born on August 23, 1978 in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania (Biography Today 44).
Literature Review Since this work aims to take on a new approach to fandom studies, namely putting male idols under the framework of affective labor and focusing on the emerging relationships between fans and idols, several theories need to be addressed in this section. First we need to consider not only what affective labor is and how it can be applied in this case study but also look at other parts of the Japanese entertainment industry where affective labor is visible. Hardly any attention has been paid to this connection and therefore affective labor is rarely explicitly mentioned but the thought of affective labor being a key element to Japanese entertainment industry should become clear throughout this chapter. A second important point
“Since it is so likely that children will meet cruel enemies, let them at least have heard of brave knights and heroic courage. Otherwise, you are making their destiny not brighter but darker.” — C.S. Lewis. A popular debate that has been raging since the first comic was published is, are superheroes good role models? Superheroes are good role models for many reasons.

Not only does the internet encourage violence, it can change the thought process of children. In usual cases, children tend to instantly believe almost everything that seems to make sense to them.

The two important values that I have learnt are the independence and the respect. I learnt these two values since my childhood. One of the values is the independence. Independence means that you can support yourself without owning or depending on yourself concerned with livelihood or studying. You can make decision of your life without being controlled by the others.
