Do We Expect Too Much From Our Heroes?

In a recent New York magazine article, Frankiech believes that the collapse of the decorative US Army officer and director of the Central Intelligence Agency, David Petraeus, attracting attention is not surprising. Why should we expect to be different from Petraeus taking the names of many heroes in front of him - Tiger Woods, Lance Armstrong, and Joe Patro - to name a few examples?

According to Richie, "Although it is not Petreus that is really shocking about the Peteus incident, in reality, we are attracted to worldly gypsum saints, whose image is only weakly similar, his own Mass media stimulating glory. "

Rich's articles are casting many interesting doubts. Do you expect the moral integrity of people who demonstrate superior abilities in the field of life? Why are we easily overlooking the obvious fact that all human heroes inevitably are heroic like human beings? So then why do we seem to punish their human weaknesses more than their non-heroes?

Before they collapsed, we personally did not imagine Woods, Armstrong or Petraus as perfect individuals. Perhaps people too think too quickly that it means that the greatness of a certain field (including no matter how simple) involves the greatness of all fields, and perhaps in particular morality. The desire for our hero is very urgent, so we can not tolerate the unrealistic impression of their universal virtue.

In our first book on heroes, we discussed how easy it is for the higher standards used for heroes to drive them out of the pedestal.

Rich also reminds us that since the Watergate scandal in the early 1970's, the guesses that people often hear are being sought by the media rather than by them. The innocent heroes of the past such as George Washington, the Kennedy Army, Roosevelt may be crazy like Patino or Patreus. Their media at the time just paid more attention to building heroes than to tear them apart. In order to powerfully analyze this problem we recommend Susan Drucker's book "American Heroes of the Media Age".

All media's enthusiasm for the recent depraved hero has been overlooked, and many highly successful people (and many heroes) continue to maintain nearly satisfying reputation for clean ethics. These people are from all walks of life, some of which include Duke University's K Coach, Bill Gates, Oprah Winfrey, Barack Obama, Meryl Streep, Stephen Hawking and Michael Jordan. Frankrick's article suggests that at least some icon crashes may be just a matter of time. I hope he is wrong.

Gordon says, "I do not want to make a hero's portrait - in fact, this is a portrait of an anti-hero." We expect that so many people will be heroes. Just because someone is playing like an angel does not necessarily mean they are angels. Miles Davis and other 1 million artists. It can not be an excuse. That's right. Myerscough, LRB: I like this movie and artwork. I carefully examined every aspect of the DVD add-on function. DVD is a satisfying way to live, given the strength of the focus it allows through proximity. But I think it can be installed very well in a dark gallery space with sharp projection from the floor to the ceiling and bathing in the surround sound - according to the work of Christian Markley

What exactly is "hero"? In my opinion, we are sometimes too generous about this word. We call it an athlete or a female hero We have promoted political leaders, but in the process we took away the real meaning of that word. It is very likely that we met one or two heroes in our life. However, the number of heroes I know is thousands. Their names are Daniel, Gerald, Mariatu, Edwina. And in the past 22 months they wore the Red Cross vest to help bring the world's most deadly Ebola virus outbreaks to their knees.

When we heard the word "hero", there were several ideas in mind. We think not only about the people looking up in the world but also think about the heroes in the fictitious world. Being a hero means a variety of things. Leaders, singers, even parents can become heroes looking up. But in a fictitious world, the hero is the person who learned from his or her travel. Some letters Odysseus: heroic heroism is not a Greek invention. But over the centuries of their civilization, Greek literature has created highly elaborate complex long epics around heroes. These literary works offer many possibilities for the definition of heroism. The Greeks show that heroism follows the rules prescribed by the gods and goddesses, and those who follow the rules will benefit.
