What makes them a hero?
The concept of a hero has evolved over time, and the modern understanding of a hero may differ significantly from the classical or traditional definitions. In modern culture, a hero is often seen as someone who is admired for their courage, selflessness, and noble qualities, and who is willing to take risks or make sacrifices in order to help others or achieve a noble goal. Heroes may be real or fictional, and they may come from a variety of backgrounds or fields. For example, a hero could be a soldier, a firefighter, a sports person, or a fictional character in a book or film.
