Depends on the scenario. Asked can either be an active or passive verb yet it depends on the situation. Active verb is when a subject is performing the action, which is then referred to as a Active voice. However, if the action is receiving the subject it is a passive verb.
Example;
He was asked to complete his homework (Passive Voice)
I asked him to complete his homework (Active Voice)
Most do this so they have a role model to look up to
Explanation:
This serves to give them purpose to try to be just like that person they look up to. Its a way for them to build upon what they've already accomplished
