It seems that now days we really do have much to look up too. You always here that when your parents or grandparents grew up that had a hero to guide them and I feel a little envious of that. I do however hold my parents on high regards and call them hero’s but that goes without saying.
What I am referring to is someone like, Dr. Martin Luther King, Babe Ruth, Neil Armstrong, you know people that makes a differnts in our world and so that we could admire them and be like them.
Have we fallen into a society that is so dark and dismal that we no longer need hero’s in our world? Where has all that hope gone?

This is what the producer from hero said.
(Tim Kring)
“I’m sure there are many, many of them in terms of your own community. And I think that’s the best way to define heroes--in your own small sphere of life. We are living in a much more cynical world that likes to take people down rather than build them up. It’s very hard to sustain a heroic persona because the second that you do, some reporter’s job will be to make something up and take that person down”.
Sad but very true.

when you are young an innocent everybody has someone that they looked up to and respected above reason, but as you get older you realise that that person makes mistakes just like you, then the magic of a hero disapears. It dosent mean that there are not people out there who do heroic things, its just that they are not remembered.
we always think about our enemies and setbacks more often than the people who do good deeds for us.

It's too bad, more than 300 of them are gone, but the NYC Firefighters of 9-11 were all hero's. So were the passengers of flight 93 and the many people at ground zero who worked long painful hours trying to rebuild lower Manhattan. Let's not forget that a person doesn't have to fulfill the role of a leader to be a hero. A hero could be an everyday person who does something extraordinary when suddenly it's all on the line. That hero could be you or me.

Good question. I don't honestly think there is a celebrity to look up to anymore, it seems that they all have their own agenda. Perhaps the only ones we can look up to are our parents and grandparents.
