Expansion of "Do we still need heroes?"

           Do we still need heroes? Yes. Heroes help the world from being a corrupted place and make the world a better place. People with superhuman powers can be heroes; they help in protecting the world. People with strong moral values are heroes too. They help in building justice.  Lastly, people who do kind deeds, are heroes too, they spread love around the world.
        Heroes can also be people with superhuman power, such as flying, huge strength and some other abilities that normal humans cannot do. The world is now quite safe from terrorists and crimes. However, it does not mean that there are no crimes in the world. Posters show "Low crimes doesn't mean no crime." This showed that although there is little crime, there are still some crimes in the world, some of them hard to crack. Therefore, I think that heroes are still needed in the world. Heroes, as the name suggest, are better at tackling these crimes. With heroes, these "low crimes" will soon become "no crime". When this happens, although there are no crimes, heroes will still be needed to defend the world in case that people starts to commit crimes again. Therefore, it is important to have heroes to defend the world from evil acts.
          Heroes can also be people with strong moral values. They can help to uphold justice, whether by having such a career, such as a lawyer, or standing up against a bully. For example, from “To Kill A Mockingbird”, Atticus defended Tom Robinson in court for being accused of raping a White. Although Tom is a Negro, and it would be hard to defend a Negro, as the jury, a White, would be prejudiced against Tom. Also, the people of Maycomb changed their thinking of Atticus, calling him names like “nigger-lover”. However, despite all of these, Atticus did not sway from the right track even once and tried his best at defending Tom. Even though at the end, the jury declared Tom guilty of rape, I think that Attcicus had tried his best and try to uphold justice for the Tom, who was innocent; therefore he deserves to be called a hero.
           Lastly, heroes can be people who do kind deeds. Kind deeds, no matter how big or how small, is useful in turning our world into a kind and caring place. Big deeds such as donating huge amounts to the charity can help the unfortunate ones; this will influence others to donate too. Young people giving up their seats to the elderly, pregnant ladies, people with small child and injured people can make these people feel happy, they make in turn assist others. This cycle can go on and on, and the world will be a caring place. By making the world so wonderful, I think that people who spread the kindness can be called heroes.          
           In conclusion, I feel that heroes need not be people with superhuman powers, like in the Greek mythology. Humans that are kind-hearted, caring and have a sense of justice can be called hero too. There can also help to make the world a better place to live in.
