From Aristotle's moral perspective theory, the best place to look for moral guidance is a moral exemplar. A moral exemplar in society is someone who exhibits the traits that other people consider in good moral standing. Behavior like self-control, truthfulness, and courage are the behavioral traits of a moral exemplar. In society, you find these head figures in various places. A mentor or teacher that one might look up to might exhibit these traits, leading to why that person looked up to them in the first place.
