<p>Traditionally the term “heroism” has been applied to those who have braved physical danger to defend a cause or to protect others. But one of the most feared dangers people face is that of disapproval by their family, peers, or community. Sometimes acting courageously requires someone to speak out at the risk of such rejection. We should consider those who do so true heroes.
Assignment: Should heroes be defined as people who say what they think when we ourselves lack the courage to say it? Plan and write an essay in which you develop your point of view on this issue. Support your position with reasoning and examples taken from your reading, studies, experience, or observations.

First of all, we should define the term " hero." " Hero " comes from Roman culture, where it referred to any person who can be taken as a role model. Thus, those people who say what they believe in when no one else has the courage to do so, uncaring at all for the harsh, cruel rejection that might result from doing so, best fit the term " hero " because their action completely guarantee they will never ever give up what they believe is right for any reason, which means that it is safe to consider them our role models, or, in Roman terms, our " heroes." My own personal experience offers a sufficiently compelling support to my perspective.
Since Augusts’s 12th 2013, my brother has been considered a hero by us, our family’s youth, as he broke the rule that we should choose our life partners from our family. Most of my cousins had relationships with girls who were " outsiders. " However, although they loved the “outsiders”, they ended up marrying some girls from our family whom they’ve never even met, and their marriages turned to be horrible. All of them hated this silly tradition and wanted to rip it off, as expected, but they were scared to do so as they knew how fiercely their objection would be met by our family’s elders. It wasn’t until last year’s summer that this rule got broken. My brother finally stood up for his right to marry the girl he loved no matter what her family’s title is, and he actually did although his marriage didn’t get the bless of our family’s elders, but who cares. At that very moment, my brother turned to be a hero, and, later, some of my cousins followed his path and married whomever they wanted to marry, marking the start of a new generation with new ideas and traditions in our family.
As it is shown, my brother was considered a hero as we were able to take him as our role model and follow his path because he finally did what every one of us wanted to do but never did. And this is always the case. We, human beings, tend to see those who say what we want to say but don’t have the courage to as our heroes because, even if we didn’t do as they did, we wish if we had.
