Over time‚ the definition of a hero has changed since the Anglo-Saxons to today in Hollywood. Because the definition of a hero has changed over time‚ who our heroes are and what makes them a hero has changed also. The Mirriam-Webster Dictionary explains that a hero is “a person admired for great deeds or fine qualities.” To me‚ that means that a hero would be selfless‚ honest‚ and hardworking.
