Think carefully about the issue presented in the following excerpt and the assignment below.
Heroes may seem old-fashioned today. Many people are cynical and seem to enjoy discrediting role models more than creating new ones or cherishing those they already have. Some people, moreover, object to the very idea of heroes, arguing that we should not exalt individuals who, after all, are only flesh and blood, just like the rest of us. But we desperately need heroes—to teach us, to captivate us through their words and deeds, to inspire us to greatness.
Adapted from Psychology Today, "How To Be Great! What Does It Take To Be A Hero?"

i BELIEVE THAT MOST PEOPLE HAVE ROLE MODELS AND I THINK ITS REALLY FOR THE BELEIVERS THERE ARE PLENTY OF PEOPLE OUT IN THIS WORLD DOING THE RIGHT THING BUT IT TAKES A CERTAIN AMOUNT OF COUARGE TO BE A ROLE MODEL AND TO BE ALWAYS DOING THE RIGHT THING.I THINK PEOPLE SHOULD BE ENCOURAGED TO ALWAYS DO THE RIGHT THING AND TO BE CATIOUS OF WHO IS WATCHING BUT IN THIS SOCIETY THAT WE LIVE IN NOW ITS HARD TO HAVE RULES OR GUIDELINES OF WHAT A ROLE MODEL IS AND HOW THEY SHOULD ACT. I AGREE WITH THE STATEMENT ABOUT CERTAIN INDIVIDUALS AS HEROS OVIOUSLY TAKE BRITTANY SPEARS SHE ONCE WAS A ROLE MODEL FOR KID BUT NOW AND FOR THE PAST FEW YEARS SHE HASN'T BEEN SUCH A GOOD ROLE MODEL
