Oral Anglais Myths And Heroes

I will talk about the notion of Myths and Heroes.

A hero can be a person real or fictif, it is defined as someone recognized by his actions or his generosity. Rosa Parks, Martin Luther King, Nelson Mandela are the names of heroes who are most frequently mentioned.

But today, new heroes appear like Mark Zuckenberg, Lady Gaga, Mickael Jackson.

Indeed, the concept of hero is now very confused. The figure of the hero was changed.

One may wonder how the definition of a hero has it changed? What are the causes and who are the new hero?

To begin, we speak of heroes we can't forget, and in a second part, we will focus on new heroes and new definition of hero.
