Good or Evil? Hero or Villain?

The topic of good and evil and heroism verse villains is commonly debated and can be interpreted in many different ways. First off i believe that society identifies good as someone who cares for others more than they care for their selves. This trait is often found in hero's through the form of sacrifice. A hero is looked on by society as commonly referred to as a good person or someone who triumphs over evil. One other trait that is often related with good is being in touch with God along with being pure and not full of sins. The term good and the term hero, in society, are paralleled to the point that in someways they mean the same thing because you can not have one without the other. By using this theory you can also relate good to evil as well as a hero to a villain due to how they depend on each other because without one you can not have the other. Because, without evil, there would be know "good" hero to triumph over evil. As well as without hero's their would be no evil and villains that fight back. Society also relies heavily upon religion in order to determine what is good and what is evil. The traditional religious view points allows people to have a guide line and it makes it easier for people to properly identify good and evil. By making this easier to identify people in society are able to feel safer due to the safety that is brought about do to the knowledge of what is good and what is evil. One thing I would like to change, is how people define hero's in our society. I believe that many people fail to realize that a hero can be a simple deed of feeding the poor or simply serving as a role model for those who need a role model to direct them to the path of good rather than evil. I believe if people in society would step back and see what people are doing around them on a daily basis, people in our society would realize that there are hero's all around us. People however, sometimes simply fail to see these hero's that may be the most important hero in order to preserve good in our society. While hero's can be the ones who achieve great goals and changed great numbers of lives, there can also be hero's who may have changed maybe only one persons life, but by doing so they impacted more than they could ever imagine. By changing the life of one person for the good, that one person may someday be that hero who touches numerous people. If the small hero had never impacted his or her life, then many others would have suffered as a result of it.
