What is hero’s journey according to the video?
Critical thinking Culture exploration Watch a piece of video clip “What Makes a Hero” and discuss the following questions. What is hero’s journey according to the video? What message do you get from the video?

Background information
Critical thinking Culture exploration Background information Joseph John Campbell was an American mythologist, writer and lecturer, best known for his work in comparative mythology and comparative religion. His famous book The Hero with a Thousand Faces retells dozens of stories and explains how each represents the hero’s journey. Katniss Everdeen is a fictional character and the protagonist of Suzanne Collins' The Hunger Games trilogy. Frodo Baggins is a fictional character in J. R. R. Tolkien’s The Lord of the Rings.

1. What is hero’s journey according to the video?
Critical thinking Culture exploration 1. What is hero’s journey according to the video? Tips Hero’s journey is compared to a cycle, which begins and ends in the hero’s ordinary world, but the quest passes through an unfamiliar, special world. Along the way, there are some key events including status quote, call to adventure, assistance, departure, trials, approach, crisis, treasure, result, return, new life, resolution. And then, the cycle starts over again. Many books and movies follow this pattern.

2. What message do you get from the video?
Critical thinking Culture exploration 2. What message do you get from the video? Tips Just as Joseph Campbell said, “in the cave you fear to enter lies the treasure you seek”. When facing problems that are scary in our lives, we need to listen to the call for adventure, accept the challenge, conquer the fear and finally we will claim the treasure we seek.

1 What is the most important message conveyed in the lyrics?
Critical thinking MV watching & discussing 1 What is the most important message conveyed in the lyrics? Tips There is a hero that lies in everybody’s heart. So just look inside yourself and be strong when faced with difficulties. You can survive all the hardships.

Critical thinking MV watching & discussing 2 Do you agree that “Heroism is latent in every human soul”? Why or why not? Tips Yes, I agree with Joshua Lawrence Chamberlain on the point that “heroism is latent in every human soul”. I think everyone, kids or adults, men or women, wants to be a hero. Some want to be a hero because they want to be respected or loved by others; they would like to gain fame or attention. Some want to be a hero because they want to feel powerful for themselves. Others want to be a hero simply because they want to help those in need, even by sacrificing their own interest, health or life. No matter what motivates the hero, it is a glorious feeling when others look up to you as a hero.

Appreciation Sentence writing Writing devices
In this place, he (Martin Luther King Jr.) will stand for all time, among monuments to those who fathered this nation and those who defended it; a black preacher with no official rank or title who somehow gave voice to our deepest dreams and our most lasting ideals, a man who stirred our conscience and thereby helped make our union more perfect. And Dr. King would be the first to remind us that this memorial is not for him alone.… And finally, there are the multitudes of men and women whose name never appear in the history books — those who marched and those who sang, those who sat in and those who stood firm, those who organized and those who mobilized — all those men and women who through countless acts of quiet heroism helped bring about changes few thought were even possible.

Paragraph translation 毅然冲向危险帮助那些需要帮助的人。从他们身上我们都看到了英雄主义。希望通过纪念他们，我们能在其英雄事迹的鼓舞下，也都成为英雄。 help those in need honor inspire Sample

In an era of heightened heroism, heroes can be average people who follow the call of instinct when caught up in extraordinary circumstances and rush courageously toward danger regardless of their own safety to shield others from harm. Heroes can also be first responders who, with the knowledge of existing danger, overcome their fear and rush toward danger to help those in need. In both of them, we find heroism. Hopefully, by honoring them, we would all be inspired by their heroic deeds and become heroes.
