Mike Dilbeck, Founder "True heroism is remarkably sober, very undramatic.It is not the urge to surpass all others at whatever cost,but the urge to serve others at whatever cost."— Arhur Ashe As we all hear the word "hero" used from time to time, have you ever asked yourself the question, "What is a hero, anyway?" I have asked that question many times. As I inquired into this more, and have spoken to many people about this, others also came up for me: Is a hero someone we simply admire, respect, look up to? Is a hero some kind of "superhero" with "super powers?" Does it take a lot of money and fame to be a hero? What's involved in being a hero? Can we call ourselves a hero? Why do we have such a weird relationship to the word "hero?" You may have asked yourself these same questions. And we will be exploring this subject more in the future days and weeks on this blog. So, let's start now by looking at the concept of "hero" and "heroism." While there are many interpretations of what a hero is, I have adopted the definition used by the Heroic Imagination Project: Heroes are people who transform compassion (a personal virtue) into heroic action (a civic virtue). In doing so, they put their best selves forward in service to humanity. A hero is as an individual or a network of people that take action on behalf of others in need, or in defense of integrity or a moral cause. Heroic action is: Engaged in voluntarily; Conducted in service to one or more people or the community as a whole; Involving a risk to physical comfort, social stature, or quality of life; and Initiated without the expectation of material gain. When you consider this interpretation, you can really get that heroism is the other side of the coin — the opposite — of bystander behavior. When you voluntarily engage in an activity that is in service to someone else, or the community as a whole, and you take a risk in doing so AND do it without any expectation of material gain: you are a hero! You are not a bystander. Heroism is not random acts of kindness, as great as they are. Heroism is very distinct. A hero is not someone you simply admire or respect. A hero is a very distinct person. Each and every day around us, there are those who need a hero: If a child is being bullied at school — or even an adult being bullied at the workplace — they need a hero. If someone has had too much to drink and they are about to drive, they — and everyone that their driving may impact — need a hero. If someone is being sexually "hit on" and has not given consent, they need a hero. If a group of students are being hazed — physically, emotionally or otherwise — they need a hero. If an inappropriate or offensive comment is spoken, those impacted need a hero. Now, truth be told, we all want to be heroes. We all want to make that difference in that moment of time that will dramatically impact the situation and even foster change. Keep someone safe. Keep others safe. Stand up for what is right and just. As I travel the country and speak to audiences of hundreds of people — and then have the chance to speak one-on-one with many of them — I have yet to meet anyone that doesn't want this. We all simply desire the ability and the power to act freely and without restraint to make this kind of difference. Yes, I know, we all have a really funky relationship to the word "hero." You may notice that it came up for you the second you read the headline to this post. You may think it's narcissistic. Egotistical. Self-promotional. You may even think that it's something to be bestowed on you rather than self-acclamation. I also believe that most of us have a very cynical and resigned relationship to heroism. It may come from a time when we tried to be a hero — to take a heroic action — and it didn't go well or have the effect we needed it to. Or, maybe we wanted to be a hero for someone and never took the actions necessary to make the difference. In those moments we make a decision that we can't be a hero — we don't have what it takes. It was a good idea at the time; however, "I must not be good enough to be a hero." And these decisions have been validated by subsequent events ever since we made them. Actually, the older we are, the more evidence we have gathered to prove them true. I get it. I really do. I have just as much evidence as you do that I am not a hero — and can't be. "Why even try, right?" I am on this journey with you and I invite us all to stay in this conversation and explore it together: "How can I be a hero?" Better yet, "how can I prepare and equip myself to be a hero in those moments in life that demand it?" I am committed that we all create a new and inspiring relationship to being a hero and allowing others to be heroes for us. Let yourself be empowered by the opportunity it is to make this kind of difference. This very commitment is the driving force of this revolution. Think of a time someone was a hero for you and how you have never forgotten that person for what they did. You have never gotten over their courage and their actions — for you. Think of a time when you were able to make this kind of difference for someone else. What did it feel like? What was that experience like? I promise, if you allow yourself to really experience this, you will be inspired — by yourself! My challenge to all of us: be a hero vs. be a bystander! Be an "everyday" person willing to keep your eyes, ears and heart open "every day" to any opportunity that may demand heroism. I invite you now to commit to this by taking the pledge in the box on the right side of this page. I thank you for taking this on. Really! I thank you for being the kind of person even willing to make this kind of commitment and hold yourself accountable for fulfilling it — for others, for organizations, and for issues you care about. This will allow all of us to live extraordinary lives making the difference we all want — and need — to make. Get involved. Stay engaged.

Introduction: 1.Imagine how many families in America include a family member who regularly consumes alcohol. 2.Several recent studies prove that the numbers are large, but many people do not understand the effect that alcohol use has on the family (Jost 56). 3.Susie Smith, author of the book Families in Crisis and a professor of Sociology at Yale University, argues that alcohol use leads to broken homes. 4.In her article, “Alcohol Abuse–Does Alcohol Use By a Parent Negatively Impact His or Her Family: Pro,” she defends her position on the dangers of alcohol abuse. 5.On the other hand, James Johnson, a law professor at Stanford, condemns the use of alcohol, but he does not believe it ultimately hurts families; he validates his position in his article, "Alcohol Abuse–Does Alcohol Use By a Parent Negatively Impact His or Her Family: Con." 6.Smith uses outside sources and appeals to logic, while Johnson focuses on statistics and appeals to emotion, as these elements help him support his position. First Rhetorical Tool body paragraph: 7.Rhetorical tools are used throughout Smith’s article. 8.She uses outside sources to defend her argument. 9.Smith cites a 2010 report published in the Journal of Family Law and written by James McKey indicating that alcohol abuse is the second leading cause of marital break-ups in the United States (Smith, par. 5). 10.The rate of divorce due to alcohol use is even higher when children are involved (par. 5). 11.Studies show, unfortunately, that the “[p]ainful effects of their parents’ breakups can stay with children for years” (par. 7). 12.Smith quotes Edward W. Barth, a psychiatrist and author of the new book Adult Children of Divorce, who observes that “children of single mothers get involved in substance abuse . . . more than kids with fathers at home” (par. 6). 13.Smith continuously places blame on the party who abuses alcohol, whether it is the wife or husband. 14.It is so imperative that you do not use alcohol because it may lead to divorce, which then may hurt the children. 15.Susie Smith cites outside authorities to note the painful effects of divorce that can result when a parent abuses alcohol.
