榜樣

榜樣是指若某個人的行為值得被其他人或經常被其他人尤其是年輕人所效仿，那麼這個人就是榜樣。^[1]^[2]^[3]^[4]例如有許多年輕粉絲崇拜體育明星、娛樂明星並經常模仿他們的一舉一動。

一個國家有時候也可以是其他國家的榜樣，例如19世紀上半葉智利政治人物和知識分子把法國作為榜樣，不過後來智利人又把德國作為榜樣。 ^[5]

對職業的影響

根據歷史學家Pamela Laird的說法，榜樣可能會對個人的職業道路產生相當大的影響。Pamela Laird表示，本傑明·富蘭克林是許多19世紀白人商人的榜樣。 ^[6]

根據英國的一項調查，英國年輕人經常將體育明星作為榜樣，其次是流行歌星。 ^[7]
