Heroism

The Philosophical Foundation of Heroism beings by expressing the numerous kinds of heroes and villains we have in this world. That all can depend on ones liking and also depends on what one thinks is the definition of heroism and what depicts that from villainy. In the many different ways heroes and villains are portrayed to people is through movies, comics, television shows and much more. With this being the case, there is an array of different opinions that could go towards a specific character or create a liking/disliking for someone. When looking up the definitions of heroism in the dictionary one of the main topics the definitions focus on are the physical and predominate characteristics in a hero or villain. Like in the reading, I agree that heroism is defined by our individual morals as a person and the way we perceive certain things. Some might not understand your specific reasoning as to why you think a certain person or character is a hero or villain but that is the only way that it can be established. There are also many different attributions that we look at to define heroism and the level of strength. Some of the other main characteristics that a hero should have are knowledge, physical and mental power, morals, and many other characteristics. Above all I think one of the main qualities that should be in a hero is courage. By having this courage it portrays to all of the little children that admire such a character as a hero and they can one day try and be a hero in their own special way!
