Hero

To me, a hero is someone a person, or people, look up to in some sort of way. Whether it is their actions, personality, or views on different things. What does it mean to be a hero? I think to be considered a hero, one must respect the person, and the hero must have done something to earn this respect. A hero should be someone a person views as a positive thing in their life, but a hero to some people may be looked at as a "negative" thing in another person's eyes. The hero has been popularized through many different elements. It has became known through books, comics, television shows, movies, people in history, and everyday people in life (family member, teacher, doctor, dentist, etc.) I think the world needs heroes to give others something to base their lives on, to look up to, and to try to be like (because if someone is trying to be like another, they must value something he/she has in their life, which could be anything).
