Someone would believe that a good and noble person would save a person’s life if they were in danger. What makes a person a hero or what is a hero? I believe a hero is a person that had saved someone’s life before. I think a person is a hero after they had saved someone’s life not if they a firefighter or a police officer that haven’t gain experience from any moment of saving a life. I think today the word “Hero” is being misused and understood. For example, today children look up to Justin Bieber and consider him as a hero or a role model instead of looking up to a soldier that has put his life on the line for his country.

People would suspect for a hero to be a good citizen that goes to church every Sunday, that helps for the good, and don’t ask for anything in exchanged. However, they are wrong anyone can become a hero there are no background checks before becoming one. Anyone in this world could become a hero even a dog or a fugitive that had just escape from prison and has a bad criminal record. People would assume if they were caught in a burning building that a firefighter would come to rescue them. However, they don’t know that the firefighter would save his life before saving theirs because that how a firefighter are trained. They are not trained to be a hero, they are trained to be professionals at what they do and that is a firefighter.

I do considered that there are good and bad heroes. For example, a good hero would fall in the category of being noble that would rescue someone’s life and does not ask for anything in exchanged. For example, Jack Bauer from the Television series “24.”Jack Bauer has saved dozens of lives and in return has gotten him torture to death or even sent to federal prison. This man has never ask or gotten a Medal of Honor or a reward for his heroic acts. In the end of saving people’s lives or even the whole country Jack Bauer had to disappear and hide from the world that he had helped saved.

However, a bad hero would ask for something in return or maybe demand it. For example, Bernie Laplante from the film “Hero.” In this movie Bernie is looked as a con artist, a credit card fraud, and a thief. In the movie Bernie had saved all passengers from a plane crash the main person he saved was a reporter Gale Gayley which in the process of saving her Bernie stole her purse. In confusion, someone becomes a hero after saving someone’s life it doesn’t matter is the person has done good karma in the world or terrorizes it.

There is research on music that it helps someone’s heath. In this passage “Is Music a Good Tool for Health,” by Elizabeth Scott there are several ways that music can help people with their health issues. First of all, music can help cancer patients and children with attention problems. For instance, music can help with brainwaves, concentration, and alert thinking. Second, research has demonstrated that music helps breathing and heart rate, someone would feel relax by listen to music. Also music can help lowers depression anxiety.

                I agreed with this idea that “Music is good for the health.” In an outside experience that everyone faces is going in an elevator. I notice that some elevator have smooth relaxing music. This helps someone by relaxing them and by being patient to get to their destination floor. For example, in a crowded elevator some people feel Closter phobic. They panic and don’t have the patient to wait with the people in the elevator with them. As researchers demonstrated music helps with concentration that why most elevator have music in them to relax people in them.

                From my personal experience music has help me prevent my sleeping anxiety. Late at night I sometimes have problems sleeping. Sometimes I would put on my head phones and play soft music whenever I can’t sleep. For example, my neighborhood late at nights I can hear very loud noise from the streets. This has distracted me from going to sleep at nights and prevented me from sleeping. I would put on my favorites songs to relax my mind and finally I can fall asleep.

                Today everyone have the benefits from music. Music has help people to relax, motivation, and enjoying it by dancing. Around the world music has many different cultures. Music is a useful tool that everyone should enjoy and benefit from.

    In different scenarios people tend to act different when they are by themselves or in a group. In this passage “Individualism in Groups” by Carol Tavris there are several behaviors someone would act in a group or by themselves in a situation. Someone alone in a dangerous situation would think differently from someone in a group. For example, one individual is their to witness someone life in danger they most likely they will help the person. However, in a group they would heisted to report it because the person would assumed someone already helped, that is called “Diffusion of Responsibility.” 
   
    I don't agreed with this idea because it depends on the situation a group or an individual is in. For example, late at night  out side of a bar theirs a homeless man lying on the floor. Someone by themselves walking would witness it and most likely do nothing. The person would assumed it is just a drunken poor homeless man in the street and would walk by. Also if a a group of friends walking by the bar witness the homeless men. They would most likely ignore the homeless man or expect to see a homeless person in the street thinking that is normal to see late at night.
    In my personal experience I have been in a car accident with my sister, cousin, and my mother who was driving. Soon as the car crash into a parked car people who witness it offer to help us. No one heisted to call the ambulance and some even offer for their help. Also, another experience was when I was by my self walking up the stairs to my apartment. I witness someone laying down on the floor unconscious, soon as I saw the person I called for help. In conclusion this analogy I do not agreed with it because, again it depend on the situation people are in. In conclusion people just have different mind frame than others.
