Idols and Celebrities
 
1.  Positive features of a good friend.
2.  Person who I admire.
3.  Film, literary or real hero  - what you like the most.
4.  How can a person become a hero?
5.  Celebrities as idols…
 
The concept of an idol appears very often in religion and philosophy. In ancient Greece and Rome people had their „heroes“. Several philosopher such as Bacon, Nietsche, Aristotle have called idols.  An ideal person does not exist because every individual has positive and negative traits. I think that negative human traits are for example anger, hatred, fear, jealousy, greed, revenge, and so on. I admire traits like courage, talent, energy, charm and a sense of a humour.
 
Most of us admire ordinary people for example our parents, grandparents, or friends, because they always help us, because of their profession or simply always have a smile on their faces.  Any of us might be a hero, when he will save someone, do something for our world, or just he will help other people.
 
Every society and every individual believes in a certain hierarchy of values. Love, health, family, faith are usually among  the top values. Some people consider money and career the most important values.
best friend is someone who:
-  is always here for  you when you need him
-  he always helps you when you have problems
-  he always finds time to listen to you
-  he doesn’t envy when you are happy and successful 
-  he can also forgive and forget when you disappoint him
- a good friend is honest, fun, unique and interesting, attentive
- a good friend is supportive of you and your goals
- a good friend is a friend you can trust
- a good friend accepts you for who you are
 
A person I admire is my mother, because she is my mom and I love her. She is giving me all she can and has learned me how to live. Also she brought me and my sister basically herself without any help of my dad. I can fully trust her. I thank her very much for all her love and support. I’m very proud of her and would like to be such a great person as she is.
 
Another person who I admire is Bethany Hamilton. She is an American professional surfer. She is known for her accident which happened 10 years ago, when she was 13.  She was attacked by a shark and lost her arm. After attack she kept calm and bravely swum to the seacoast. Thanks to her courage she saved herself. Despite the trauma she decided to return to surfing. It‘ s been very hard but she handled it and she is surfing competitively again. So I admire her for her braveness and intention. The film Soul surfer was based on her story.
 
Every country has important personalities in their history. They often include politicians, artists, war heroes, but also fire-fighters, soldiers or doctors. War heroes have died for the ideas they believed in, defending their country, fighting for peace. They saved people´s lives and ensured peace for many generations.
 
We know also fictional heroes from books, films and plays, which are charismatic and are adored by viewers. In some films, heroes are ordinary people who try to overcome obstacles in their lives. People can identify with them, because they are realistic.
 
„The bravest act of the year“ is the award for people who have saved somebody’s live or did some of other brave act that needed a lot of courage. They saved people who drowned or were injured in a car accident, they gave blood or performed very difficult surgery.
 
A typical idol of popular culture has achieved great popularity trough publicity in the mass media. He is usually young and always look good and stylish. Talent contest combines the traditional talent show with some aspects of a reality television programme. Pop idol is the most famous talent contest. These types of idols have a great influence on people of a certain age. Reality show stars are idols for some young people, because they try to resemble them by copying the way they look and behave. Reality show stars are pseudo-idols, which means they are not real idols. They are often overestimated and admired for no real reasons.
 
Many crimes have been committed on the basis of films. Some heroes mostly in science fiction or action films are very violent and consider violence a way to solve all problems, but it has a very negative impact on chil
