There are several definitions that can be made by the word hero. Many people will have different perspective of heroes. Some may think that hero is a character or person who has supernatural power like superman, Spiderman, and ultra man. However, I think that heroes are people who use their power for positive things, either it is by their knowledge or behaviors. Therefore, the definition of hero to me is a person who knows to use their knowledge or behaviors in positive way that most cannot.
Based on my definition, I think it is right to call a hero who did heroic things or who had heroic moment. As I think a true heroes are people who use their unique power to positive things, even people who had just once heroic moment should be called as heroes. For example, Wesley Autrey shown in the video is also a hero who saved a stranger fallen into train track. I thought about Hancock when I saw this part. Therefore, people who had heroic moment also can be defined as heroes.
In addition, another example that clearly demonstrates my definition is parents. In my definition I think parents can be defined as heroes. It depends on each families, however, most of the children think their father as a hero, who devote their life for their children¡¯s life. Even they do not have heroic moment, I consider them as heroes because they do positive things and sacrifice their behaviors or life. Therefore, heroes also can be defined who do positive things or devote their life for others.
Furthermore to connect to what we learned in class, the epic of Gilgamesh and Hancock, Gilgamesh is not a hero but Hancock is a hero. Gilgamesh used his powers to protect himself while on the journey. On the other hand, Hancock should be considered as hero because he changed throughout the movie. He did positive behaviors for the society. Therefore, the people whose personality changed throughout their life and help others can be considered as hero.
Heroes are people who use their knowledge or behavior for positive things. Heroes can be defined even they have only once heroic moment and people who devote their life for someone can be also considered as heroes. Therefore, heroes do not have to have supernatural power like others can think of.
