    Imagine if you were in a world without heroes that are brave, hardworking and show self-sacrifice. It would be a total nightmare if everything will be disorganized.

    and yet, they were brave enough to rush into the World Trade Center while most fled the site. These heroes saved many people. But what of those who came out of the rubble?

    others before themselves, and preform the act expecting no recognition. A hero can be anyone around you. Nothing matters but what is inside the person. Philip Zimbardo states,” We want to democratize the notion of heroism to emphazise that the most heroes are ordinary people; it’s the act that’s extraordinary.” It does not matter if someone is black, white, male or female. It is how the person’s personality and morals are making them stand out in the crowd. A person has to have certain traits to become

    People paint heroes in colors and words seemingly out of nowhere; however, these heroes are real in their own way. They may not have the superpowers, if they do have them, as described and shown, but there are qualities that were admired enough for them to be created. Heroes are very much real, not just something in a book. They are also human with human designs and faults. This makes them likable because not everyone is perfect and heroes acknowledge that themselves, no matter how much they are

One of the major problems with this is that we don't choose the right people to idolised a lot of the time, which in turn reflects on our societal values needing to be deeply questioned.

    Heroes: Grappling With Power With the proliferation of supernatural television shows and movies, I expected Heroes to be more of the same. It is not. Heroes offers a unique twist on the classic superhero tale through its wide variety of characters, its concise plot, its special effects, and its wise use of tone. Mohinder Suresh, who functions as the series’ narrator, teaches genetic theory in a small, stuffy classroom to bored college students in India. As the class ends, a colleague pulls Mohinder
