Although the revolutionist Che Guevara has many circumstances in which he was not looked as a role model, the reason why I look up to him is because of his intentions to change his country, and the world himself. Che Guevara changed Cuba and 3rd-world countries through his leftist radicalism philosophies, leftist wing politics, and mostly a leftist lifestyle. He was accused of “treacherous acts” and categorized as another “leftist” or “one of the masses”. But in a big summary without biased answers and starting with a fresh slate on evaluating if Che Guevara was a ‘good person’ or not, or how more people should look up to him. Majority belief on a single person can make a big difference.
