topic: issue203 "The best way to understand the character of a society is to examine the character of the men and women that the society chooses as its heroes or its heroines."

Heroes and heroines are generally regarded as the people who have the virtue that the society admires or those who contributes a lot to the development of society. But can we take it for granted that close scrutiny of the character of those heroes is actually an effective and appropriate way to understand the character of a society, which represents the core values of the society upholds? In my opinion, to some extent, it is justifiable. Nevertheless, it overlooks the diversification and complication of the society.

As an old saying goes, “A hero is known in the time of misfortune.” Heroes and heroines are made but not born. Nearly every society spontaneously chooses its heroes who are in accordance to current circumstance and they guide people’s way of thought that ultimately manifests the character of a society. One apt illustration involves the course of Dr King, Mandela, Castro and so forth. They devoted all their lives in guiding people of low class to fight for democracy and freedom they deserved. Through trial and error, hot national liberation movements were being carried on and the creed that "all men are created equal" was deeply rooted in every corner of the society.
In addition, as we all know, Helen Keller, worshipped for her courage and fortitude, have altered the whole society's perception of the disabled and even remapped the boundaries of sight and sense and the public good has been promoted.

However, with the rapid expansion of the society, the character of it becomes diversified, and given the complexity of the definition of heroes or heroines, people's ideal heroes may vary completely from each other, we are unable to conclude the character of a society merely by its choice heroes or heroines. One's hero may be a talented football player, leading his team to the top of the World Cup like Maradona. It may be an excellent magician, having some alleged superhuman skills like David Copperfield or the heroes saving others with no concern of death like the firefighters in the Sept. 11 attacks. Also, it may be our moral tutor Mother Teresa. There are a thousand Hamlets in a thousand people's eyes, we cannot draw a conclusion from thousands of heroes with different qualities.

Furthermore, the embodiment of the society's character shouldn't be confined within its heroes; it also applies to the ordinary people. Such as social courtesy, helpfulness, caring for public property, environmental protection, and law-abiding, they are all virtues of the public that build the character of a society. Simultaneously, to cater the propaganda of media or the government, so-called heroes may be factitious and show his virtue on purpose, and this will surely lose its representativeness.

Since heroes and heroines cannot perfectly represent its society, we should have more integrated and acute perceptions. Comprehending the Institutional characteristics is the prerequisite of understanding the character of a society. Customs and routing duties of the heroes and heroines as well as the ordinary people are also essential aspects of it.

In conclusion, insightful discernment of all the factors together should be carried on this issue. We cannot study the character of a society completely via its heroes or heroines concerning the complexity and diversification of a huge society.
