Blog 9: Heroic Acts and Heroic Personalities


In my opinion I think a hero is someone who behavior or personality fits a hero. Someone could commit heroic act but there personality can be different from how they really feel on helping. Their behavior fit a hero on how they show if a person really cares they put their effort on helping / saving anything or anyone. Someone who commits heroic acts is people like Superman, Rosa parks, & Martin Luther King. People who care about the world and changes they could bring to world. Those people I would say are Hero’s.  They commit to what they bring and they don’t back off. Even in other movies where others are saving, helping people they become a hero for that person. Hero can be from personality, some others are not helpful or care but when something happen they become a different person and change to help.
In the movie “HERO” Bernie was just a con-artist who steals credits cards and sells them to buyers, and didn’t really care about people / society around him, Johnny is just a regular guy who just wants good things for himself. There are a few examples from the movie where Bernie was a hero. He saved 54 people from flight 104. Bernie wasn’t the type of guy to care about others but something told him to help and he did , he even went back in the plane to get a boy father even thou he ended up saving a young lady name Gale and stole her wallet. Bernie was someone who commits heroic acts just for the moment. Johnny was a random guy whom Bernie hitch a ride with and told him how his night had went. Once Bernie found out what Johnny did with the shoe, Bernie wanted the money he didn’t care about others or what Johnny was doing. Throughout the movie you see how Bernie was acting from how john was displaying himself. Even thou they both wanted one million dollars Johnny took the money and did charity work while Bernie was behind bar telling inmates how Johnny lied. (Even thou he did) even thou in the end Johnny didn’t feel right he wanted to do the right thing , Bernie also did the right thing by confronting Johnny and telling him it’s fine . Bernie started to show a different side of him and became not selfish like a hero.
Heroic acts can be describes as someone who has different personality like one second they care and then they don’t. They just want to be in the spotlight for the moment or they just really don’t care. I remember being in the subway and a girl fainted no one didn’t get out of their seats to see what had happen or seem to bother  but a few including myself did go and help . Those people are what you called heroic acts they put on a show when they actually care it’s not because they really do want to help. Sometime people tend to show themselves as hero’s by their personality or their behavior , people do that by environmental changes or walking for cancer , taking food to the homeless shelter , being a counseling  for the youth or even by helping an old women cross the streets that makes them feel good how themselves and feel like a hero. Someone whom personality or behavior fits a hero act doesn’t necessarily mean they are hero’s it means they do the right thing when they can. They feel a lot better helping. But I guess certain things a person do can be consider as a hero.
