In The Unlike Even Of Opening Skinner's Box By Lauren Slater

“ A hero is somebody who voluntarily walks into the unknown .” When a hero keeps on going and never stop trying that makes them a hero.When a hero puts there life at risk just to save another life, even though it could mean losing their own that makes them a hero. Someone who goes through great challenges but never stops trying is a hero. Ahero is not someone who gives up or someone who is selfish.Heroism is being selflessness, someone who makes sacrifices, and someone who never gives up.

On September 11, 2001 something unforgettable happened. The Twin Towers in New York City were struck by two commercial aircraft. But there was more to the attacks than people realize. Some of the biggest heroes that day were the men and women who landed the 30,000 planes in the air that day. Those people stopped potential hijacks right in their tracks. These people were real heros

Hundreds of private boats converged on New York City on the day of September 11th, 2001, most people now know this day as the tragic day of 9/11, the day the Twin Towers fell. This is a great representation of heroism because it shows that people who do not have to go and save the people fleeing Manhattan did. A hero is selfless, a guardian who fights for their people and beliefs, and is not to be confused with someone who uses their abilities to cause harm. Also, a hero is a person who does something more than what they are expected to do. These are the reasons we respect hero’s, because they do more than what we think or believe we would have done in those situations.

A hero or heroism can always be defined vibrantly and always related to helpful and beneficial deeds. Throughout the history, we had known numerous historical and fictional heroes that inspired us in acting good things for the sake of others.

”A hero is an ordinary individual who finds the strength to preserve and endure in spite overwhelming obstacles” (Christopher Reeve). Wearing a spandex and a cape doesn’t make them a hero, it takes courage, bravery, and being a role model is being a hero. Heroism is being brave,courageous, and a person who is helpful to others.

To begin, heroism is helping others even when it puts them in great peril. “The cause he so ardently loved,”(SB 68). Lincoln showed that a person could put themselves in peril for others, especially since he was in the middle of a war that turned out to be over slavery

The word heroism brings to mind different things to different people. This is because people tend to have different concepts of heroism and what it means. The definition of heroism has changed a lot since ancient times and will continue to change. Despite these changes, there are a few things about heroes that will never change. A hero can be described as a person who is admired or idealized for courage, outstanding achievements, or noble qualities. Both ancient and modern day heroes are idealized for possessing these traits. Heroes, no matter from what time period, will always be powerful, strong, brave, and valued.

Heroism, what the world thrives on from real life to fictional movies but do we know what it really means? Some say it's someone who has powers or someone who have helped others but do those qualify as acts of heroism? There is no real straight forward definition of heroism but instead, everyone has different views of it. A famous quote from Joseph Campbell says heroism is the act of giving him or her life to something bigger than oneself.

Joseph Campbell once said,“A hero is someone who has given his or her life something bigger than oneself.” When someone goes out of the flow of society and stands out by doing something to better oneself or others they sacrifice their image but they display heroism. Heroism is thinking about others before oneself, being unrelenting in peril, and not being hopeless when all feels lost.

I think heroism means when somebody or multiple people do something beyond for a person or multiple people. For example service men and women who serve in the Army, Navy, Air Force, Marines, Coast Guard, Police force, and Firefighters they all risk their own lives for others. They defend our country, they go to countries far away to fight, they catch the bad guys and enforce the laws and they save people and fight fires. That is what I think heroism is.

A hero as defined in Webster’s Dictionary is a person who “a person admired for achievements or noble qualities” or “one who shows great courage.” However, a hero is more than a person’s achievements. A hero is a person who is philanthropic, generous, and kind. Heros fight for those who can not fight for themselves, and do not judge those who they are fighting for. They are charitable in ways other than donating money, they give their time and effort in order to make the lives of others more pleasant. Heros display bravery. They are willing to go into a dangerous situation to help others that have been affected. Social pressures and judgements do not affect a hero’s willingness to help others, they are willing to push through what others say in order to complete the tasks

Merriam Webster dictionary defines heroism simply as great courage. Bravery, honesty, valor, character, gutsy and bold are all words that basically mean the same as heroism. The definition of a hero is a person, who is admired or idealized for courage, outstanding achievements, or noble qualities. People in everyday life show these qualities and can be found in many places. A teacher can be thought of as a hero by students, a mother by a child, a coach by players, or a world leader by citizens. Some people like to think of sports figures and celebrities as heroes. Firefighters, police, doctors and members of the military are great examples of people who exhibit great heroism every day. Heroes can be found anywhere throughout the country. They can be found in government, hospitals and importantly the ones keeping our country safe. This paper will focus on heroism and attempt to show how a hero can be anyone who exhibits actions that are above and beyond the norm; they could be cops, firefighters, parents, teachers, athletes or even celebrities. These people could go day to day protecting citizens and loved ones from dangers and peril or people simply performing acts to inspire others to do the same.

Acts of heroism are different from acts of bravery. People and even animals who are heroes go beyond what is expected of them, risking with no pause, their life, and limb to the need of another. Nearly all acts of heroism arise from situations that

Hero. This used is used frequently but what makes someone heroic? Someone who saves lives? Or can someone be heroic by showing a small act of kindness? Can it be both? Yes, a hero is someone who is brave, courageous, and helps others in need. In The Outsiders by S.E Hinton, Cherry, Johnny, and Dally were portrayed as heroes because they were not afraid to step up and help other people. Johnny saved the lives of strangers and showed his bravery to help other people. Dally was portrayed as a hero by saving a life, and finally Cherry helped the greasers despite her boyfriend being a soc.

The crackling of the fire burning down the house. Screams yell out, as the firefighters bust down the door. Sweat dripping off their faces as they walk into the blazing building. The fireman pulled the boy out of the house. He carried the boy in his arms and the boy was crying in fear as they walked out. This firefighter was brave when he has to be. He walked into the blazing house to save someone when he could have got hurt too. Frederick Douglass was courageous when he escaped slavery and got his freedom back. Most of all a hero needs to be selfless and always put others first , before themselves. Although heroism involves being inspirational and brave, a hero also has to be responsible with what they are doing.
