1) Who is/was a hero in your mind and what was his/her role in society? (Real or historic people only please. So no Marvel or DC superheroes or FF chars.)

George Washington- presedent

2)What attributes do you find most admirable in your hero?

He wanted freedom for all enough to lead an army full of people who had no clue against an empire

3)Who in your life/personal experience and how have they hero impacted your life, morals or ideals?

I dont understand this entirely so i'll give 2 awnsers
My dad is a big hero to me. He stands up for what he beleives in no matter what.
George washington effects me in the sense that he provided me with freedom over the ages by setting up a government and fighting Britton.

4)Is your hero a role model for you? If so, please elaborate. If not, do you simply respect and admire your hero based on their freakish ability to excel in a chosen field?

I like Washington because he figts for others rights and to help all in common good- which is what I TRY to do as well

5)Are heroes necessary for society as a shining example of what one human can achieve? To show that the system actually works and produces these exceptional individuals?

Yes; yes, heroes ar needed to show they work in their system as well and are used to produce exceptional individuals from themeselves. In a sense they set a standard that others should follow

6)Does the idea of a hero still exist in our society today? how is it different from what it was in the past?

Yes it still exists- it differs in the fact that some want heroes for personal gain to help them, not others and the worlds common good

7)Is heroism a relative term or are the feats of your hero so grand, that they transcend all boundaries?

Its hard to describe. George washtington set examples for many many people, so in essence he did extend boundaries and became the first real american hero

8)Have you admired this hero all of your life? Please elaborate.

yes- george has always been a hero of mine because of his feats in the revolutionary war.

9)If you could have acted on behalf on your hero in a particular situation, how might you have acted differently? Or would you have let the even play out the same way?

I have never really undergone a situation in which I could have imitated george washington. There have been times that I have done things that hurt others for my personal gain like telling a lie, in which I would have liked to have tried to be like george by acting for the common good

10)Do you believe that there is a general heroic template, or that each individual hero's attributes are unique and independent of all other heroic people?

Heroes are individual. They all do things that set them apart and thats why they are heroes. If they were all the same, hero would become an overused term.
