Current event II ( Role modelling)


 Role modelling can be a serious impact as well to young adults. What role modeling is ? Simply you can understand that  a role model is someone you admire and you want to be like him/her, imiate their style, their behavior etc.(Loewen,2017). Having a role model , such as celebrities, and in that case singers might be thought to have more positive influnce to young children, but unfortunately is not.Teenagers are usually affected by their role models, and are obsessed with them(Loewen,2017). Such role models are two famous singers Nicky Minaj and Miley Cyrus. Both of them are criticized fot their sexuality and their dressing as you can see in the following links below, they are acting in more sexual way , dressing more sexy, etc.Most of the girls will start be obsessed with them as a result to imitate  their new style , imitating innaproprate behaviour , etc. (Lowen,2017). Being, that much obsessed to  role models can  bring up more serious problems such as affect the self esteem  (to be lower)  and then can lead to anxiety , depression and even to eating disorders (Cobb , 2016). Boys and girls (mostly girls) can affected in the same way, as they see their role model muscled , sexy , having a great appeal , and them after a lot of tries cannot be like them , their self esteem can be lower , start having problems with their health because  they want to be more skinny and look like them , etc.(Fairclough ,2015).
