a hero can mean so many different things to so many different people. i don't know why some people look up to the people that they do, i think that hero is a term that is used to broadly, but everyone has a right to their own opinions. . . . some people just shouldn't voice theirs sometimes! haha
A hero has many different meanings to a lot of people. The term hero is sometimes only thought of as dealing with the supernatural such as superman, Spiderman, and so on. Others may contribute the title to a person who does a miraculous act whether it’s for selfish or selfless reasons. I personally think that for a person to deserve the term hero they need to have redeeming qualities and to do something that truly betters the lives of others, regardless of if their motives are selfish or not.
Social workers sometimes get a bad reputation as just people who shuffle kids through “the system”. I am sure that this does happen often, that doesn’t mean that every social worker is like that. I have two adopted little brothers, and we have had a lot of foster children stay with us for a little while, so I have some experience with social workers. Some of them truly care about the children they are protecting. Social workers have to see a lot in their line of work, not many people are able to deal with it all without becoming desensitized. There are the social workers who follow through with each child and who try to make sure that where they place the child is the best that it can be. A person who can go through all of that, see the horrors of what some children have to go through, and still be a compassionate person is a hero to me.
A person who goes through a great trial and pain, but doesn’t let it keep them down is pretty amazing. Some people let those experiences alter their personality for the worse, and they use it as an excuse about why they are doing these bad things. The amazing person will learn, and grow from it, and move on. They will use it as a reason to be better. When someone can go through anything traumatic and move on and be a better person there is something unique and spectacular about that person.
The soldiers who are out on the battle field, risking their lives for us deserve our respect and admiration. The soldiers may all have very diverse reasons as to why they are there serving their country, but nevertheless, they are there. They could be there for the glory, for their families, or because it’s a family tradition. No matter what brought them there, they are still risking their lives so that Unites States citizens can have freedom. That is pretty heroic.
There are countless stories that are told about everyday, normal people doing heroic and miraculous things. Everyone has that potential inside of them; they just need to realize it. Hope is a grand thing that gives us a reason to go on life. Heroes' bring that hope into our lives by telling us that there are people out there who do care and who will be there to help us up when we fall.
Heroes inspire and motivate people to do better than they already are. Heroes (whatever their own motives) are individuals that people look up to as a standard of what they should all be striving for. Everyone needs someone as an example of what they should be. Idols and heroes are sometimes mixed up to be the same thing. A hero changes the life or lives of someone(s) in a significant way. Every single person has the potential to be a hero.
