In Indonesia right now, the people that are considered role models are politicians and celebrities. I think it's more about the celebrities because lately the politicians in Indonesia have been involved in a lot of negative scandals. I believe celebrities are good role models because they show their true selves in their everyday lives. Nowadays, celebrities usually have their social media filled with their intimate relationships, and their private lives are not very private anymore. We kind of know everything about them now.

It is very important to have someone to look up to because it gives us motivation, and role models inspire us to improve ourselves and become more like them.
