There’s a lot of characteristic to call someone a hero.

It might be someone with super human

strength, or someone who has courage and sense of responsibility, or let’s just say it depends
to someone you ask that kind of question.

I can easily say that what makes a person a hero is someone who is physically strong and doing
what is right, but no. I have two factor that needs to be considered before I call someone a hero.

First factor to be considered is the motive/intentions. People nowadays wanted to look like a
hero behind those cameras. Selectively, they help people just to brag on social media. Most of
them are manipulative and has hidden agenda. No hate to the people who uses social media as
a medium to inspire others, but are your intentions so pure to be able to call you a hero? The
act of heroism is simply doing what is right and not expecting anything in return. It might be a
form of reward or a bunch of likes in the social media platform. You just simply showed an act of
kindness the moment you’ve seen someone who needs help. By this, you’re leaving a positive
impact not just to the person but also to the whole world who serve as an inspiration.

Second factor to be considered is someone who has unshakeable goal. Despite of having the
recognition of possible risks and costs, it might be one’s physical health or personal reputation,
the person is willing to accept anticipated sacrifice. People who are not afraid to stand for what
is right and people who chose to be brave with the choices they made.

To sum up everything, I can say that the key to heroism is a concern for other people in need. A
concern to defend a moral cause, knowing there is a personal risk, done without expectation of
reward. That’s what makes a person a hero.
