Defining Heroism

What does it mean when we say that a hero is a man who acts heroically? It is widely accepted and believed that heroes are men. A hero is a natural human being or a primary fictional character who, faced with adversity, performs feats of courage, ingenuity, or physical strength through extraordinary deeds. Like many previously only gender-specific terms, the hero can be used to describe any gender, although hero only seems to apply to girls.

There are two types of heroes. The first are heroes who are perceived as “normal” humans, just like us. Their greatest achievement is not being killed by someone who considers them an enemy, but rather saving innocent life by stopping crime before it is too late. This is the sort of hero most likely to be seen in comic books, action movies, television, or movies about young boys. The second type of hero are those who are perceived as “unheroic” – they fight against great odds and risk the lives of others to accomplish some noble cause.

Although not all heroes are born with exceptional abilities and strengths, they tend to have a number of these traits. All heroes need to possess the ability to use their brain, to overcome fear, and to stand up for what they believe in. They also need to have a burning desire to become a hero and do what it takes to protect the people they love. They must be bold and willing to put themselves into harm’s way to do the right thing. At the same time, there are many heroes who lack the mental capability to think properly or act appropriately, so they end up getting hurt.

Many critics argue that true heroes are those who do not carry out suicidal acts, and who never inflict harm on others unwillingly. To this day, it remains unclear whether all people can be categorized as a “true hero.” However, many people will readily admit that there are indeed people in this world who display exceptional courage in difficult situations.

Defining holiness is an art in itself, and there are many times when a person can display true holiness in an extraordinary way. For example, George Washington, although he may not have been born a hero, rose to greatness in a time of need and served his country for many times. There are countless other examples, from Achilles to David against Goliath. Defining heroism however is quite subjective, and each person who meets the test can display genuine heroism in their own unique way.

Defining heroliness however is not as easy as drawing a straight line between a normal human being and a self-sacrificing warrior. While some will agree on defining heroic acts and characters, others will disagree. Some will claim that heroism is a certain trait, while others will say that it is something that is specific to humans. If you are to choose one thing to be a hero at any given point in your life, it would have to be a quality which lies somewhere between these two extremes. For example, while heroes may take unnecessary risks in order to save the lives of others, other people may choose to stay safe by not taking chances. Regardless of what anyone chooses to call bravery, heroes do indeed shine from time to time in our society.
