2、 Bydefinition, heroes and heroines are men and women distinguished byuncommon courage, achievements, and self-sacrifice made most forthe benefits of others - they are people against whom we measureothers. They are men and women recognized for shaping our nation'sconsciousness and development as well as the lives of those whoadmire them. Yet, some people say that ours is an age where trueheroes and heroines are hard to come by, where the very idea ofheroism is something beyond us - an artifact of the past. Somemaintain, that because the Cold War is over and because America isat peace, our age is essentially an unheroic one. Furthermore, theoverall crime rate is down, poverty has been eased by a strong andgrowing economy, and advances continue to be made in medicalscience.
