how does the media create a hero?

Watch American Idol or Survivor.  An American hero in the making.  I for one don't watch that nonsense.

A hero is someone who puts his own life on the line in an attempt to save someone else.  The firefighters and rescue workers who went into the towers before the collapse were heroes.  The unlucky ones who were there working and didn't make it out were just that.  Unlucky.  (btw living people can win the Congressional Medal of Honor.)

The media & the tube????\nPlease! This is where you expect role models to be found, or portraited? \nThe media that focuses on everything that is dark and wrong with mankind.\nThe Media that twists the reality to reflect the political bend of its owners.\nGet a grip.\nThe programming on T.V. is usualy filled with sordid mellow dramas, the scripts of which should only be used as toilet tissue.\n\nRole models will not be found on the TUBE.

of course no. If so, the nazi who carried out Holocaust shoud have been hero as well\nMany people think so because they are fed up with pro-American and pre-Israeli media

Clothes and the mass media have a profound impact on our youth today. younger people are always looking for a role modal. Someone who they can look up to. When they see an actor or actress in a movie they may like the role they played and want to be just like them. So they buy all the clothes endorsed by them and esteem themselves "cool" because of their false self-esteem.In the mass media their only out for ratings, so the stories they cover are all about the stars that these kids see in the movies. They go hand in hand. \n\nAll of this stresses the importance of parental involvement in their children's lives. Parents need to be the their child's role model. They need to teach them good (hopefully Biblical) morals. Teach them to be their own unique individual and not a mockery  of someone they don't even know.

Most are not.  They must usually be either affluent, young and attractive, or represent a specific group the media wants to support or bring down to get on the news.

really, you get to become a hero for screwing up everything you've been involved with in your lifetime like GWB has?\n\n In that case, we have more heroes in congress now then we've ever had the past. Most of them are Republicans mind you, but I'm sure more democratic 'heroes' will pop up now that they control the house. Here's an article all about these heroes, including the top 10 ten heroes in congress (a couple of them unfortunetly lost the last election, apparently their constituents didn't appreciate what great heroes they truly were).\n\nhttp://www.rollingstone.com/news/coverstory/worst_congress_ever/page/1

I don't feel that we live in a time that is in need of heros. A hero for a cause eventually becomes the entire face of a cause to those looking in from the outside. If you asked someone to name a hero from the civil rights movement, I would bet that 99% of the answers would be MLK. There were many other heros of that time, but MLK was the civil rights movement. A face for the gay community would only serve to solidify whatever stereotypes people choose to see in that person. The gay community is far too diverse to be represented by even a handfull of people.\n\nThe gay community doesn't need a short list of heros who stand up to the masses and lead us in a fight for civil rights. What the community needs are everyday heros. We need people who will stand up to their friends, coworkers and classmates and denounce descrimination at it's source, not someone denouncing it from a podium on high.

0 i should say.\nThat no. has got a character of its own.He is a true genius.\nWant to destroy someone,just multiply him by 0.\nAdd or substract,its too busy to disturb you.\nAnd what,divide by 0, then maths have no defination(undefined,man)\nSo,who's the real hero?

Nope, not as far as modern science is concerned. It's impossible. People can be a lot stronger than others, however (bodybuilders), but that's mostly steroids. As for real actual superhero abilities, they're basically just a myth...and something fun to make movies and write stories about!

Get the media involved

Your quoted text is not a question, it is a statement. \n\nIf you have read the text, then you should know you are being asked to elucidate the trials and conflicts of each of those "heroes," and to show how each becomes a character worthy of notice, of the title "hero."
