Fifteen percent report defying an unjust authority. And not one of these people has been formally recognized as a hero. Opportunity matters. Most acts of heroism occur in urban areas, where there are more people and more people in need. No shit happens in the suburbs! Education matters. The more educated you are, the more likely you are to be a hero, I think because you are more aware of situations.
Volunteering matters. One third of all the sample who were heroes also had volunteered significantly, up to 59 hours a week. Gender matters. Males reported performing acts of heroism more than females. I think this is because women tend not to regard a lot of their heroic actions as heroic. Race matters. Blacks were eight times more likely than whites to qualify as heroes. Personal history matters. Having survived a disaster or personal trauma makes you three times more likely to be a hero and a volunteer.

Heroes circulate the life force of goodness in our veins.
And what the world needs now is more heroes—you. Philip Zimbardo, Ph. He is also the author of the best-selling book The Lucifer Effect and the president of the Heroic Imagination Project. Very nice information. In this world this is the very difficult question that what makes people good or evil. This post has helped a lot to understand the difference. Andrew am, January 19, Link. I really like reading this article because there are many individuals in the world that are heroes but are not recognized.
Heroes that have help humanity progress and prosper have fought with the greatest weapons which are love, respect, sincerity, and peace. The governments that have had the greatest fear of seeing people free have always use war for colonization, genocide, and false treaties. However, love is much stronger than war, and thanks to the modern forms of communication and exchange of information, more people are united for peace and do not support or participate in colonization or human genocide. Since the start of humanity most people have use peace to progress, few have participated in war and few are participating.
May peace prevail on earth! Here we assert that one definition of heroism is compassionate action at the risk of personal sacrifice. We also suggest that training compassionate self-sacrifice is possible, through programs like the Heroic Imagination Project and other similar training efforts.
Two pilot studies based on this idea are summarized. The first examines gang desistance programs that focus on replacing these activities with compassionately driven, prosocial ones. However, these actions can put former gang members at considerable personal risk.
