A hero is someone who selflessly helps others despite not
gaining anything for himself and sometimes even putting himself in harm’s
way. Some examples of action heroes that
are well-known these days could include Spiderman, Superman, and the Fantastic
Four. All of these characters were given
super powers, which help them save many lives and even the even the entire
world in the movies. Just because they
had these abilities did not mean that they had to use them for good,
however. As seen in Spiderman 3, a hero
could fight a battle within himself and use the abilities for darker purposes
than protecting the innocent. While an
action character might be the first person that many would think of upon
hearing the word “hero”, they are certainly not the only ones; thankfully there
are real-life heroes as well. Police,
firefighters, and soldiers are heroes, too.
Imagine facing life without someone to help when your house catches on
fire, when your country is under attack, and the crime rate is soaring. They all put so much at stake to ensure the
safety of others; some unfortunately have to pay with their lives to maintain
this safety. It is true that these
people are certainly heroes, but have you ever thought of everyday citizens as
heroes, too? Well, many times they
are. Good parents can be heroes to their
children by providing for them and giving them a loving environment to grow up
in. Other family members or friends can
also be role models, which is in a way a type of hero. Siblings that are supportive of one another,
setting a good example, and showing unconditional love are incredibly important
beyond the means that words can explain.
If a person is going through a hard time, then someone could be a hero
by encouraging that person and assuring him or her that things will be
okay. My point in all of this is simply
that there are numerous kinds of heroes, some that are more obvious than
others, but they all share an unquestionable significance.
