Question 1

Idol doesn’t equal good role model

Answer 1

Idolising someone can lead to them becoming a “role model”, usually a celebrity, but celebrity role models don’t have the same effect

Question 2

Family role model

Answer 2

Family role models are natural and you know more about a family role model whereas with celebrity role models you have limited available information about them

Question 3

Idolisation

Answer 3

Celebrity role models are often glorified leading to their actions and flaws being glorified and possibly emulated by young people eg Andrew Tate

Question 4

Not everyone has the same support systems

Answer 4

Jeff Bezos was given 250 grand to start amazon and he had a financial support net while Andrew Tate was born into a wealthy family despite him claiming otherwise, many people don’t have either so they’re at risk of failure and debt

Question 5

Unrealistic goals

Answer 5

The chances of being a successful influencer is very slim, success in the music industry is around 1%, success rate of actors is barely 2%, only 1 in 16,000 aspiring athletes succeed and become professional

Question 6

Role model advice

Answer 6

With family role models you can ask them for advice on how to obtain that goal, this isn’t possible with celebrity role models so the goal is harder to reach
