Heroes and Leaders
The question "Who is your role model?" is a difficult one to answer. So many
people have done heroic things that it is hard to choose just one. In addition, there
isn't just one type of hero; there are many.
What are the types of heroes?
Historical Heroes
First of all, there are many people who
are worldwide famous for their heroic deeds. People like
Nelson Mandela, Mahatma Gandhi, and Martin Luther King
are all considered to be heroic leaders. Each of them fought
for a cause and achieved results, without resorting to
violence. These people were brave, courageous, and loyal to
their people.
Pop Culture Heroes
Of course, we also have heroes in popular culture: in books, films and cartoons, to
name a few. Superman and Batman are two well-known comic-book heroes. Each
Disney story has a hero or heroine: Rapunzel in Tangled, Merida in Brave, and Elsa
in Frozen, for example. Lots of young children will often have a fictional character
as their hero: someone they admire and aspire to be like when they grow up.
