Throughout the years many people have been considered heroes. Whether it be a hero in a comic book or a hero that has done good for another person and changed someone's life. All heroes share one thing in common. They all hold a special spot in someone's heart and are looked up to for something good they have done. For example, many children and adults have looked towards Jessica cox and a hero, an inspiration to those with disabilities because of her work with Handicap International. Jessica…

Fight Club (1999) doesn’t need much of an introduction, and the first two rules state that I can’t talk about. I guess I’ll have to make an exception just this once; I just hope Tyler will be able to forgive me. The movie itself performed moderately well in its opening weekend but was ultimately a box office failure, as it only brought in about $37 million in revenue. The main character who is played by Edward Norton, a nameless narrator, is unhappy and discouraged with his mediocre life. In…

Based on, Immanuel Kant’s definition of enlightenment, we are not at all living in an enlightened age. As Kant explained to his students, in order to achieve enlightenment, one must, “have courage to use your own reason” . This means that people should not be afraid to question anything, and become more independent from others. Also, as it was explained, “laziness and cowardice” are the biggest reasons for the dependence that humans rely on. First, our current reliance on technology makes us an…

After taking the personality assessment, I found out that I fall into the ISTP group, which I think fits my definition of my personality. ISTP stands for introversion, sensing, thinking, and perceiving. ISTPs are interested in many things that go on around them. They pay close attention to the details trying to make sense of it all because we are very logical. From a heuristic view, ISTPs also like to understand and know how things work because we take great pleasure in fixing things. We…

Throughout history heroes and leaders have proved to us time and time again what it means to be a hero or a leader. Many heroes and leaders do share the same characteristic but there are two that make both of them stand out. In general a hero is someone who shows extreme acts of courage in a time of danger in order to save other people. A leader on the other hand is someone who is able to make people follow them for a cause or the greater good. Even though heroes and leaders may have…

Do you believe Daniel's story? Yes or no, explain your response I do think it is true. There was a guy I hung out with, and it came out his dad was doing this same thing. So it would not suprise me if something like this happend. The only issus I see is time, why not get help or stop going over there. But at the same time, people in abusive homes don't alway run and they're telling the truth. Is it possible that Daniel is lying? Yes or no, explain your response Like any story, some parts might…

People define heroism in many ways, but to me a hero is anyone who is willing to risk their life for someone or something. A person could be heroic in action, taking a stand or helping someone in need. A hero is not someone who is in the right place at the right time or shows up to just save the day. A hero is the military men and women fighting for our freedom, Jesus dying on the cross for our sins, and a counselor helping someone get their life back together. Being heroic in action is the…

Everyone has their own wall, they have built and it is not until someone special comes along and removes the wall will you see the real person inside. In the poem “Please Hear What I’m Not Saying” by Charles C. Finn the speaker states “You alone can break down the wall behind which I tremble” (78). When the speaker says “you” he is indicating that there is a specific person who can “break down” his wall. Someone who loves and care about him. When the poem talks about breaking down a wall it is…

The great musician, Gerard Way, said “Heroes are ordinary people who make themselves extraordinary.” Ironically the word hero has the connotation of being someone or something that portrays the qualities of being supernatural. An everyday hero is one that is characterized by the actions that he/she commits. The hero will always put themselves forward for the humanitarian good to defend against moral evil. The hero always acts involuntarily, the act of heroism will always be done under…
