Definition Essay On Being Brave

What is bravery to you? How would you define it? How would you describe your own bravery? This word can be talked about and shown in many different ways. Bravery can be when you go out of your way to do something good for someone or to help them in any way. Being brave can be nothing like being fearless. Some may understand that bravery is being terrified to do something but doing it anyway. You could be scared. This could put yourself or your life in danger. You may have to have some courage and support to do this. Being brave is showing you're willing to go above and beyond for something. You never know when your going to have to step out of your comfort zone and sacrifice something in order to be brave.

Society's definition of brave is alike of mine in a way, but also different. We all know people fighting for our country and people who stand out to make a difference are brave. Some of society's definitions of brave are different of mine such as when Caitlyn Jenner won the Arthur Ashe award. This is an award people receive for courage. Most say she should have won it, but there are some who say she shouldn't have. She is very brave for becoming transgender and so do many. That's why people voted her for this award. Although myself and many do believe

Lauren Hill, who was an amazing 19 year old basketball player who lost her battle to cancer should have been nominated. Or Noah Galloway, who was terribly injured in the United States Army and lost his left arm and leg. Noah was also a motivational speaker to veterans, school children and many other with his message of "No Excuses". His toughness shows he worked hard doing his job and never gave up. These two young people who I thought had more courage and bravery in them than Caitlyn Jenner should have won.
Some people in society make movies about bravery.

There are many classic movies that show heroism and bravery. One movie that is very recent was "Brave". This plot is about a girl who shows a unique way of being courageous. Merida the main character, wants to carve her own path in lifelong her own. She comes upon some obstacles that she has to find her way around. Merida discovers the true meaning of courage and undos a beastly curse. Another movie that shows bravery to me is called "No Escape". This family of 4 goes to Southeast Asia for a business trip but then finds out there are armed rebels who are killing any Americans. They have to find their way out of many obstacles and challenges that scare

them.
There are many people out there that have lots of bravery in them They might do something small for someone or something that could put their life in danger. The people I think who have the most bravery in them are our military men and women. They go and fight for our country and put themselves in a dangerous war zone, while their families are praying they come home safe and soon. There's guns going off everywhere and they may not know if there going to survive that battle. They supply food to people in countries that don't have any and need it. These people go to places and give hope to people who may not have any left. They are risking their lives to go and fight these hardships.These people have to have a lot of bravery in them and show that they are willing to take on any challenges that may face them.
Many kids may struggle with bullying at a young age or in their teen years. Bullying is not something kids should do to others. There was a kid who was in middle school who got bullied a lot. He would stand by himself in the halls before school. This group of older kids would come up to him and say mean things to him or call him bad names. He would get shoved into the locker by these unpleasant boys. There was a girl who when she walked the halls noticed this boy being harassed. She was always too scared to try and stop these boys from doing these things to the boy. But one day she had this feeling in her that she needed to step up and help this boy. She went up to them and said something we will never know, but from then on that boy never got picked on my them again. This young girl showed a lot of bravery and was willing to get these boys to stop. These kinds of small acts are what define my definition of bravery.
There are many many ways to show your bravery. It might be doing something small, or something very big. It may be doing something you never thought you would have to do. You may be caught up in the moment and something happens where you need to help someone if they need it. I agree with most of society's descriptions of bravery. Many articles or news reports talk about things that may show bravery in that person. These writings are most of the time true but sometimes the publishers will just want attention to their story. Bravery is essential in everyone. Encourage people to be brave and don't be afraid to do something brave yourself. If we didn't have people who who, we would lack people such as nurses, policemen, and people who fight for our country. Many people may not be alive to this day if someone or many had not put themselves forward and did an act of kindness. Bravery gives us strength and courage to do something. It helps us work together and continue to change and grow in our everyday lives.
