The true heros

When we talk about heroes, the first thing that comes to mind is usually some muscular "superman", or cool-looking people wielding heavy weapons and posing in some intimidating manner. However, in today's society, there are indeed heroes among us, but they are much different from our imagination. These heroes may be just an average citizen, just like you and I, but they have may great contributions to the society, whether it is a few or a lot.

In fact, even people like doctors and firemen are heroes in our world, as they have indeed contributed much to the welfare of the people. They have selflessly spent most of the time serving the community, by ensuring the safety and well-being of the people. This is indeed a heroic duty for the society in order to help us all.

However, there is a group of heroes who have caught worldwide attention, and has been on the front of the media for many days, one hundred and eighty to be exact. They are the factory workers from the nuclear plant of Fukushima. They have braved the radiation threat from the plant, and have put in their best effort in trying to repair the damaged reactors. In fact, they have so willingly risk their lives in order to solve this nuclear crisis.

By sacrificing themselves for the good of the society, isn't this heroism? They have to go through an undescribable ordeal just to ensure the world will not be affected by the nuclear threat. They put their lives on the line just to make sure others will not suffer from radiation poisoning, even though they know there is a chance they will die. They show no fear, they have great courage, they stand up for the people and help us to live in a better place free of the radiation threat. Yes, they are modern day heroes. The entire world is also praising them, calling them heroes of the society and thanking them for what they are willing to do for other.

One does not need to be strong or have super powers in order to be a super hero. As long as he has great courage and is willing to contribute to the good of the society, he will definitely be a hero. He will have to help others and do things for their sake, and not merely do it for fame or for themselves. They need to be sincere and passionate about help the society and letting the average people benefit and live better lives. These are the true heros.
