They can influence you in many ways, through fashion, through communication and through behaviour. So choosing the right role models are crucial to being who you are, they could be people who improve the lives of others or a vain celebrity but true role models are the ones that fit your own personality and identity.
Role models are important to certain people, who need them in their lives and need them to be someone that can set a good example to follow. Usually many role models can be parents or older siblings, they have looked after you and been there for your entire life and they are the people who can provide advice when needed, they can also be famous and prosperous people you may look up to, such as actors or entrepreneurs.
One example of a true role model people may consider is the actress and UN Woman Goodwill Ambassador, Emma Watson, who began the HeForShe campaign in getting gender equality for all people. This is a woman that has a true purpose in improving and developing the ideals to aid the lives of others, someone that many trust as a person who won't lead them astray and only to pursue on beneficial objectives in life, for themselves and the individuals around them.
However, there are a few drawbacks to choosing a role model as you may select a person that is not an acceptable influence. Through this you may gain negative characteristics and bad habits such as a careless attitude, violent outbursts and even excessive alcohol consumption or drug abuse. Some role models you may admire might change and disappoint you later on in the future, such as Miley Cyrus, who had a notable contribution to Disney, changed her entire reputation taking her idolisation with her. Being careful about your preferred role model is important as you may end up losing your own sense of self as you become obsessed with this person, resulting in poor decisions impacted by this.
Ultimately what makes an appropriate role model is someone that suits you, inspires the right ideas and a person that would help you advance in life. Personally, my role models include my older cousin, Mark Ruffalo and Michelle Obama, and in different ways these are people who have made an impact on my life and the world.
