Heroism Being Demolished in Modern Society - Hunter Priniski

I part sides with Campbell, people these days are feeling of least importance as they did years before. There are three reasons for this, the first reason is how connected we are becoming with the rest of the world, or in other words television. When people watch the television they see actors or actresses that a T.V. producer would perceive as a hero. He or she may be called a hero for their looks, knowledge, or even their humor. Therefore as many people watch the people on television they get the feeling that I need to look her, or I need to act like him. So in effect many Americans, especially, feel that the person on that gets attention and are in the news are of more importance then themselves. Another reason is that there are so many people in the world. So they feel that there is much more competition in the world and the odds are against them a lot more then they were one-hundred years ago. The third reason is that there are so many different types of things in the world and people can't make up what they want to do for their life. Because to become a hero you have to be extra special or great at something, and with all the different opportunities in the world you will not be able to build up a reputation as easy as it was years ago. These are just the minor reasons for Heroism being rare in Modern Society. But there are aspects that have a sociological view as well.
