Superheroes

One of the most interesting topics of last class period was superheroes. The presentation showed the audience the differences in superheroes and why people look up to them. I believe there are multiple types of superheroes. The first kind is of the fantasy variety.

In today's world, there are all sorts of cartoons and comics about superheroes. These heroes are imaginary, but they still are entertaining. Some people see these kind of heroes as giving their children false hope. There is no way their child will be able to fly in the future. Others see them as the exact opposite. That is, they see them as hope in a world that has a lot of evil in it. This is some of the impact of "fantasy" heroes on world. The next kind of hero that will be talked about is the celebrity hero.

There are many popular people seen as heroes. Many sport athletes fall under this category. A football player scoring the winning touchdown at the Superbowl could be seen as a hero by many. Other heroes that are popular are actors and actresses. People look up to what they do and even mimic them in many situations. So one can see how celebrities can be classified under heroes. One final category that is considered a hero are the common people.

Sometimes, the common people are seen as superheroes. They could do something outstanding and a lot of people will look up to them for it. The main thing that classifies a common person as a hero is if they save a life or multiple lives. A fireman saving a child in a burning house is most certainly classified as a hero. Army forces defending our country can be seen as heroes also. The main point of this blog was to show that there are a variety of heroes in our world. The main thing is that a hero is defined according to perspective. That is, a person defines what he/she sees as a hero. So no matter who you are in life, there is a good chance that you will have some sort of hero.
