Think carefully about the issue presented in the following excerpt and the assignment below.
Heroes may seem old-fashioned today. Many people are cynical and seem to enjoy discrediting role models more than creating new ones or cherishing those they already have. Some people, moreover, object to the very idea of heroes, arguing that we should not exalt individuals who, after all, are only flesh and blood, just like the rest of us. But we desperately need heroes—to teach us, to captivate us through their words and deeds, to inspire us to greatness.

In my opinion role models are not old fashion. my role model is my cousin from what i can tell she is no where old fashion. she is sweet funny and not all super heros is like that. The number one reason why my cousin is mt super hero is that what she went thought to become a RN at Jacjon Hospital. she cae from the hood. From both parents being on the dope. When both parents didnt see her off when she went prom homecoming. I can recall a time when she was telling me how she came in the world how when her mother would do dope right in front of her and when she wouls confront her mother about it she would just completly denine that she was doing it.
Right now im going though the same thing right now but not as serve as her. when sometimes my mom would leave home and cme home and be drunk sometimes i would cry myself to sleep and ask God why he did that to me. And it will be times when i would call my cousin and explain things what im going though and she would tell me just pray and God would come though for me. And that he would amke a way for me. so do i think that all heros are old fashion my answer is no.
