    Heroes Have you ever seen a person in trouble? How about another person that comes to their rescue? You might consider that person a hero‚ or a superman of sorts. What really defines a hero?

    Modern day heroes    As children we all had our favorite superheroes. We loved them‚ worshipped them‚  pretended to be them‚ dressed like them and even talked like them. Now that we’re adults‚  we are all too well aware that heroes are in high demand but can rarely be found. The  overwhelming ugliness found everywhere in the world today‚ has desensitized us to the  point where hardly anything seems shocking or repulsive anymore. Luckily we don’t need  superpowers or a cape to make a difference in the world

There has never really been any consensus on what makes a person a hero or what attributes a hero must necessarily have.
