When we hear of someone being called a "hero"—as is common these days—that person has committed an act of courage, most likely saving a life or lives. In real-life examples, heroes have protected children from the Nazis, volunteered to monitor the Fukushima nuclear power plant during and after its meltdown, or attacked potential hijackers. Heroes have also participated in civil rights protests, donated a kidney, or even just stood up to a bully.
