Question

The prerequisites of being a hero have undergone a huge change over the years. Describe in about 120-150 words what qualities do GEN Z admire and looks for when they envision their hero.

Answer 1

In the early days of cinema, heroes and heroines tended to stick to the mythic structure of heroes, using binary pairs of opposing terms to simplify the complexity of events and reducing the players to good guys and bad guys, or, more cinematically, white hats and black hats. That changed radically in the late 1960's and early '70's when a series of films such as Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid, Bonnie and Clyde, The Godfather, Midnight Cowboy and One flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest, literally turned mythic structure on its head and presented the cinematic anti-hero.

The problem is, like superheroes, we all have obstacles in our way. When Superman comes into contact with a certain green rock and wants to break out, they can be the same negative force on your efforts. However, Superman knows what to look for and what to avoid. He sees Kryptonite; He flies the other way. This is what we have to do in our quest to become a hero. We must recognize the qualities that hold us back and take us out of the superhero realm and back into the realm of normality. Many people face this as they try to become heroes to their industries or communities of followers. 

According to Gen Z, heroes have many central characteristics such as bravery, determination, courage, determination, helpfulness, honesty, inspiration, moral integrity, protectiveness, self-sacrifice, selflessness and strength. True heroes are those who step in to save others in need when they are in danger or in trouble because they genuinely care about their safety and well-being. Heroes aren't simply kind and kind; they also have a talent for understanding other people's viewpoints. Hero is a natural positive thinker, which contributes to their ability to see beyond the immediate danger of a situation and envision a more optimistic outcome.
