Do we still need heroes?

We still need heroes in our modern world because we would benefit from it. In my opinion, Heroes are people who have the courage , ability and willpower to do something that is right. The three main reasons why heroes would benefit us are that they can help us when we need help, they are good role models , and they stand up for justice.

Firstly, heroes are needed because they help us whenever we need help. For example, during economic crisis, natural disasters, war and lack of resources, we need this heroes to help lead us and direct us so that we can overcome this difficult times. One example would be from the show Spiderman. Whenever the city or anyone is in trouble, Spiderman , the hero in the movie, will be the one who save the day, defeated the bad guys such as the Sandman and rescuing certain victims. He is the hero of the town, maintaining peace and quiet so that people can live their normal lifes without constant fear of getting killed. Therefore we still need heroes as they help us during times of needs.

Secondly, heroes are important as they are good role models. They can differentiate between right and wrong and make decisions that benefits the majority because they have good moral values. People will learn the good moral values slowly without knowing because they idolize the heroes. One example would be Atticus from To Kill A Mocking Bird. He is the hero in the book who defends the innocent African American when the rest of the town people were bent on making this African American lose the court case. His children can learn from him through this incident that they should not discriminate blacks just because they do not belong here or because of their skin colour.

Lastly, heroes are needed because they stand up for justice. When he feels that the particular law or action is not fair, he will stand up and take his stand no matter the consequences. Bravery and a huge sense of justice is needed for people to do this. Without this heroes to stand up for what is right, there will be chaos. In To Kill A Mockingbird, Atticus stood up for the black man Tom Robinson because he knew that he was innocent and had to help him. Despite the other white people despising him and insulting him because he was defending a black, he still wanted to uphold justice. In the end even though he lost the case, he still put up a good fight and did convey the message to everyone that blacks should not have any less rights just because of their different skin colour.

In conclusion, heroes are beneficial to us as they help us during times of need, make good role models and they stand up for justice.
