If I consider the rules that determine the correct attitude of a hero today I choose the character of Arthur King to represent them.

Why?

His life wasn´t easy. Arthur was an orphan who works on the English court.

Starting from a very difficult circumstance to end in a nobel position is a characteristic of today´s heroes.

how he became a hero?

His first great act was taking off a sword of an anvil after none of the English soldiers could do it.

Arthur was determined, he always dreams with a better future. The apparent limitations were not a difficulty for Arthur who tries to demonstrate his strength.

How did he continue?

Arthur Kings was a very just monarch who concerned about his town needs and duties. His sword - Excalibur- was representative of legitimate power. Its capital, Camelot, was an idyllic place of equality, justice, and peace.

The Knights of the round table

Arturo found this order whose duty was to conserve the peace and the order. The knights protect the villagers from bad people. The group discuss around a Round Table, which seems to indicate that Arturo was the first among equals.

The ability to use power in a fair way is a very prized virtue today.

The Quixote couldn´t be a hero today because his principal characteristic is that he´s crazy, he has no connection with real life. In today´s world, mental clarity is very necessary to survive, with that kind of illness, The Quixote will probably live in a mental hospital, surrounded by people with disabilities.

In certain circumstances, the Quixote hurts people who surround him. For example, the owner of the estate where he passes the night. Also, he hurts himself trying to fight with invisible enemies. The last we can mention that he damages public property like the windmills.

well stockyards mean a large yard containing pens and sheds, typically adjacent to a slaughterhouse, in which livestock is kept and sorted. and i'm assuming that by party you   mean a large group of people which does make sense because chicago is a very crowded place much like new york. stockyards tend to take up a lot of room due to needing the area for pens to keep animals in and the fact that stockyards are usually right by slaughterhouse where they process and distribute the product. so its much like a zoo but with some dead animal products close by.
