Question

im writing a paper on how the word Hero has lost its meaning in todays world...back in the day there was a hero now in todays world the hero has vanished...

Answer 1

Sure there are! Heroes are people that inspire you.

Answer 2

hero is a word given for a person who did a deed as he/she was meant to do. so it's not entirely good, & not entirely bad. Heroism, like beauty, is in the eye of the beholder.
when 9/11 attack happend- the western world viewed the terrorists as villains. but back in their country, they are heroes.
& who are the heroes we call our own- the people who died helping those stranded in the ruins of WTC, & the all the lives lost on that ill-fated day.
but for me, heroism is not suppose to be grandiose. i once saved a kitten on a tree, no one was there to cheer for me, but i know for the kitty, i am a hero.
