What Really is a hero, Anyway?

Dilbeck, Mike. What really is a hero, Anyway. The revolution for courageous
leadership. 1 (2014) November 25.
In this article by Mike Dilbeck it talks about what a hero really is. He at first
talks in detail about the simple characteristics of a hero and lists out a bunch of
typical ideas of what a hero is. He is asking us what we think a hero is at first and
then he gives us his idea of a hero. I agree with his idea of a hero which is putting
their best selves forward into service to humanity. I agree with a hero is someone
who is engaged in voluntarily for a good of another person. It also talks about a
hero being basically the opposite of a bystander and is someone who takes action
for the benefit of others and to help others. Towards the end he talks about trying
to make everyone a hero instead of a bystander and to go out and help when help is
needed. It also refers to how a hero can be named to any normal person out there
and you dont need super powers or special skills in order to become a hero.
