Do we still need heroes?

In our current society, it is very hard for a person to even be called a hero, therefore I would say that we do not need heroes. In our current society, where democracy is present, heroes are much less not needed because everyone gets their equal share thus conflicts are less often sparked. Without conflicts, there would not be a need for anyone to step-up and provide a solution to solving the problem. Even if there is a conflict brought up, there would be the government there to help solve it. Of course, there are heroes who stand up for themselves as well as heroes who stand up for others. Nowadays, the "heroes" we see mostly stood up for themselves, for their own principals, because everyone has to fight hard for themselves before others in our current society. No one will be willing to stop and wait for you to catch up then continue together, everyone is after their own interests only. Most people nowadays would depend on their own abilities to fight for their beliefs rather than waiting for another person to be brave enough to step up for them. Most people are now more independent because they know that their government believes in democracy, or they themselves believe they deserve democracy.
