Question: Why do people act heroically?
Answer-Paragraphs:
Normal people suddenly doing something incredibly heroic and "saving the day"—that's something that has been happening since ancient times, something that is ever so glorified in popular culture: comic books and video games. If there is an active shooter in a public mall randomly mowing down innocent people with a rifle, chances are, everyone's going to run for their lives, not stand up and risk their lives trying to fight something that they know, or rather hope, will be of no further consequence in their lives after this event.
Even if someone were to have a concealed carry on their person at the time and fired at the shooter's leg, immobilizing them, and then being exalted as a hero, saving everyone, the police would still scold that person for risking their lives for something that is going to be handled by trained professionals.
But why do people act heroically, especially in times of grave danger? Maybe it's a personal sense of public responsibility to protect the lives of others, or maybe it's--it could literally be anything; it would be overgeneralizing and assuming to make formulate one, singular reason as to why certain individuals within a collective population of 7 billion people do something. Human nature is something that is still not fully understood, but maybe, one day, we'll understand why people do the things that they do.
Hope this helps!! Don't do it exactly the way I wrote it, but this should maybe provide some sort of base... BRAINLIEST PLEASE?
