Most of the time when someone thinks of a hero they imagine a man or a woman wearing colorful tights and a cape with a huge logo that have super strength or super speed or anything of that sort. If these heroes were real, the hero in our society would have the power to create money, food, and peace. This hero would go to the poorest places and give people money so they can pay off their house or would give schools more money to provide more oppurtunities. This hero would also have the ability to make food for those who starve. He/she would be able to create peace so no violence could take place. However, that ins't the reality, though these things are possible to accomplish. If us, the people, stand up and speak out so we can be heard anything is possible. Like Tuapc Amur Shakur once said "It's time for us as people to start making some changes. Let's change the way we eat, let's change the way we live, and let's change the way we treat each other. You see, the old way wasn't working so it's on us to do what we have to do, to survive." This is exactly what we have to do. If we don't make changes then who will?
That was a really good quote you used. I agree with you that there is no one person that could make achieving this dream of peace a reality, but that we just need to change for the better. Good post!
ReplyDeleteVery interesting- I wonder indeed what our society would be like if our heroes wore capes and logos.
