a handsome face, a beautiful body, and authority. Bader wants to remind what real
heroism is, and it does not have always stereotype by society. Heroes still exist, and I can
feel her disappointment when people nowaday are unwilling to accept that they have
heroes.
2. What does Bader has to say about our disillusionment with heroes? What examples does
she offer to substantiate her claims?
We often uses iconic figures as our heroes as well as labeling different heroes
based on their race. For example, Bader said she cannot herolize a black person simply
because they are blac. Society have beginning to doubt the existence of heroes because
nowaday people would often feel uncomfortable to have or speak of their heroes.
3. Do you agree with Baders claim regarding our disillusionment with heroes? If you do,
what do you think account for the difference with the way many of us think today? If you
disagree with Bader, explain your argument.
I agree with Bader that we should not reject certain traits of heroism based on race
and gender. Our idea of hero is often too unrealistic because it is often influence by
Hollywood and popular culture. We also wrap our idea around the way a hero should
look rather than what they are have offer to society. I would say that heroes should be
determined based on their good deeds, such as important inventions, saving someones
life, or achieving something extraordinary.
able to read about a hero and have a connection with them through their emotions, their
drives, their deeds, and their success. instead of seeking out popular heroes, we should
read non-fiction books that could have people that have done heroic things but are not
considered to be heroes because they are not popularized.
Reflection
This particular article intrigues me because until i read this article, I didnt think
that I myself have heroes. I always have an idea of what a hero should be like but I didnt
really form my own opinions. I personally believe that there are so many people out there
who should be considered heroes, such as a fireman, policeman, soldiers, and
missionaries. These people sacrificed their own safety and comfort in order to save
others. I feel sad that the people in my generations considered Bob Marley, Drake, Lil
Wayne, Beyonce to be there heroes. Heroes should be able to last forever, despite the
time, their victories and deeds should be remember forever. I am aware that famous
celebrities could always be remember because of the heavy amount of information they
have stored, but I dont believe that any of them will stand the test of times.
