There are many different heroes in our world in the past, present, and will be in the future. To me being a hero is a person who is selfless and tries to find ways to accomplish a goal. To be called a hero is a great honor and has many responsibilities with it even after becoming a hero. A major part of being a hero is honesty. There are many people that can say they are going to do something big that will change the world, but very few actually succeed. A hero keeps its promise for the people until it is to the persons liking. This means not settling for anything less.
In our project we chose the hero Nelson Mandela. A major part of his life he was accomplishing the goal of a better life for African Americans. He went through many struggles like being harassed by the police, and being in jail for twenty-seven years. During his time in jail, Nelson Mandela was given the opportunity of getting out of jail fifteen times. Before Mandela went into jail, he promised the people that he wouldn’t want to be released from jail until apartheid was abolished. He kept his promise and was released twenty-seven years later when the system of apartheid was abolished from the government. In many ways he showed the qualities of being a hero by having honesty, compassion, and drive.
A celebrity is a person who is popular by the majority of an audience. A celebrity can be formed from a music group, movie, or a book. Unlike a celebrity, a hero has more of a choice whether to go through with their plan. A celebrity lives more of a glamorous life than a hero who has to go through struggle to accomplish their goal. Since it is a choice whether to accomplish a goal, heroes don’t get paid for completing it. Also a celebrity in some cases is more known to majority of people than heroes. In today’s generation people don’t watch as much news and don’t get caught up with updated information. Instead people see many commercials with celebrities and known what is the latest item.
