Modern Celebrity Heroes

Modern Celebrity: A Hero? It's recurrently said that celebrities are not heroic by any means. You read long essays written by high school aged students on the many differences between a modern celebrity and someone who is a hero or heroine, and it seems to be a rare case to come across an article or paper on how a modern celebrity is capable of fitting the criteria of being stouthearted, noble, and a good person in general. The differences written in these papers always seem practically identical on why they're are far from heroes: “heroes help save lives, help others in need, don't care about money or Grammy awards, while celebrities are people who were put on a pedestal, save boredom, only care about themselves, and are complete attention seekers.”

Now, although “hero” and “celebrity” have entirely different definitions, a modern celebrity can sometimes still fit the criteria of someone who is heroic. This does not refer to all modern celebrities of course, considering some really don't do anything at all – but remember, not every single celebrity is a Paris Hilton, Kim Kardashian, or Nicole “Snooki”
