He/she is never lying and always behaves as a role model for others (that means he/she is nice, kind and helpful to others and always does the right things and “doesn’t choose the wrong way”.)These answers they gave me were very interesting because they actually just repeated what I have already heard from the other people I have asked but it was surprised that just a few actually thought about the ideal being a role model for others. But ideals don’t always have to be people. There are also other kinds of ideals for example you. You surely have ideals because you want to reach your goal so you work hard to get it and that is called a personality ideal.

Ideals are…
- Goals and levels you put for yourself which you want to reach
- People you like, look up to, and are role models for you (they can be both famous and in everyday live for example, friends and family members)
- Fantasy and imagination, a dream world
- Something perfect which has perfection on the maximum.
- Your best characteristics
- Something or someone better than you who you want to bet.
- Parents are ideals without even knowing it (or the children not wanting it but they are still our ideals we can’t change that)
- Teachers can be ideals
