When celebrities are idolized just because they play heroes in movies and on television, they can end up overshadowing real heroes. They may get our attention, but they don't do much to change the world. This leaves young people with heroes who have little substance. Dr. Stuart Fischoff of the American Psychological Association says it's normal for people to idolize those who have fame and fortune. "We are sociologically preprogrammed to "follow the leader,"he says. However, if young people choose to idolize a celebrity who indulges in risky behavior, then they might be inspired to do the same. So the media needs to focus on real heroes. Many can be found in history. Examples include Martin Luther King Jr.Eleanor Roosevelt Gandhi, and Abraham Lincoln. There are also many everyday men and women who have acted heroically. Even though they have flaws as all humans do,their courage can inspire others. These people will still be heroes long after some celebrities are no longer remembered. What evidence for the argument is stated?
