We have been seeing heroes in media, television, comic books, and video games and on many other platforms for quite a while. In comic books we have been seeing Superman, Spiderman, Ironman and hundreds of other heroes. Today we watch movies that consist of multiple superheroes that fight the dangerous villains to save the people. These movies end with the hero defeating the villain, which is what we are used to watching. People usually see heroes as those who save lives and are good. People love…

A hero is anyone who has the ability to express themselves. In the past, the definition of a hero was much more narrow than in the current day. Today, who a hero is depends entirely on perspective. A hero to one could be the enemy to another. This concept of what it takes to be a hero has changed as time went on. Recently, the image of a hero has been somewhat blurred (compared to in the past). Now, there is no clear-cut answer to “What does it mean to be a hero?” Any individual, male or female,…

“It is curious that physical courage should be so common in the world and moral courage so rare”, a quote from Mark Twain. It might seem that being courageous and heroic is the popular, and even attractive thing to do in this day in age.

This kind of character we identify as an…

Today, most heroes are known as police officers, soldiers, firefighters, doctors, superheros and more. But, back in ancient times a hero would have been someone who had superhuman abilities or descended from the immortal gods. Most heroes were either demi-gods or ordinary human beings. Modern day heroes and Greek heros are different as modern day heroes do things not for themselves, but for others in need of help. They have a social and political role, while Greek heroes were supposed to inspire…

Heroes Are Needed The meaning of a hero to me is someone who can be looked up to and can do the right thing to lead others. I think heroes are very much needed by everyone. Scott T. Allison states “Heroes bring light into a dark world” (Scott Allison 10 Reasons Why We Need Heroes pp.2.2.6). Heroes are needed because we need people who can lead us in the right direction, give us a sense of safety, and give us hope. Primarily, heroes are examples of role models, they guide us into…

the size of his strength, but the size of his heart” -Hercules. For example, there were many heroes in the holocaust. Some were strong in body but others were strong at heart and mind. Two men, Ernie Feld and Werner Klemke saved hundreds of jews. Today, they show us that everyone can be a hero, but some people do so in different ways.
