Essential Question #2

What are the social obligations of a hero?

The biggest social obligation of a hero is to protect those who he or she has vowed to protect. A hero has a social duty, much like a police officer, to serve and protect. A hero always puts the needs of the community before the needs of him or herself. A hero is made by the villain. All historical heros protect their respective communities from a certain villain. Without the villain, there is no hero. A hero is also a roll model. Everyone in the community looks up to the hero. Children want to be like the hero while adults envy him or her. If the hero fails to act as a role model they can no longer be labeled a hero. Being a hero is not all fun and games, it is hard work. Much like a professional athlete, a hero is always in the spotlight and must be conscious of how they look and whay they say. Heros are held to much higher standards than the rest of the community.
