Heroism As time passes, the meaning of heroism constantly changes for me. Throughout my nomadic stroll through life, I’ve come to view all people as having the potential to excrete heroic quality, but this has not always been the case. In my younger years I only identified Heroism as being obtainable for men. It’s certainly my judgement then, did not serve me well.

Many would argue that there possibly couldn’t be a hero without a villain or vice versa. But, some author’s like chuck Palahniuk author of the film Fight club go against the gain combining both hero and villain. Films that introduce characters having extraordinary depth and dimensions, always have more compelling characters, fight club is no different. Tyler Durden plays the role of the anti-hero in fight club, he is intelligent, confident, attractive, and he does whatever the hell he feels like
on aesthetics and “superheroes”, young children are growing up with the idea in their minds that heroes are all flawlessly airbrushed and synthetically perfect and stellar in everything they do and touch, as depicted in high-glossed magazines, super hero movies and commercial advertisements. The media has encouraged us to obsess over the concept that certain people, who we identify as “The Perfect Image” sit on perfect pedestals in which they can do no wrong, as described in Text 1, Lance Armstrong
