The Millennials’ view of Modern Moral Heroes and view of Morality

Do heroes still exist in this generation? If there is, what does it take to be one?

In today’s generation, I can say that there are still heroes. I believe that each one of us can be one in our own little ways. In the past, people have a mindset that you have to offer your life to your country before they classify you as a hero.  Just like our Jose Rizal, Andres Bonifacio and etc., they sacrifice their lives to protect and to free our country from the invaders. For me that is not the basis, every one of us is capable to be a hero in our own unique ways. It is not necessary for us to die just to be a hero. We can be like Captain America and Wonder Women in simple ways.  As a millennial, we have many ways to show heroism, by lending a hand to a person, by promoting women empowerment, by not letting other people step on our right or degrade us, those small things can contribute to the whole world.
Telling the truth is a symbol of heroism. Nowadays, We tend to lie because lying makes us look innocent for a moment. People forget the value of being honest. We always put to our minds that telling the truth is powerless and that it will not change anything. We are cowards if we think like that because telling the truth can make a big difference.

How can a person say that a person is doing the right thing? In what way can we tell if a person did not do the right thing? Did I make the right decision? Do I have a bad personality? How does good differ from bad?  When we hear the word ideal, our mind thinks of pleasant things. It automatically means that it is correct. Meanwhile, wrong are the things that may harm other people. Can a wrong decision be right as time goes by? Personally I think yes, it is possible because no one can control what may happen to their future and they can’t go back to the past to correct what they did. There are many factors that may affect our decision making. We may think of a wrong decision because of a certain reason and in the end it may turn into a good one that will be beneficial to us. There are also some case that we thought that we did the right decision but it turns out that we hurt the feeling of other people. Through judging we can say that a person did the right thing, just by looking to the consequence of one’s action.
