What is a hero?

You may know him from the Stanford Prison experiment where he put people into a prison scenario as either a prison guard or prisoner, then watched what happened.

Now Dr. Philip Zimbardo, with a team of researchers, is conducting a new study concerning helpful behavior. The goal is to discover how individuals perceive the behavior of helpfulness.

Unfortunately, it seems that this survey has officially closed, but I found that doing the survey offered me the chance to understand what I think a hero is - you might want to try it yourself.
