Claim: The best way to understand the character of a society is to examine the character of the men and women that the society chooses as its heroes or its role models.
Reason: Heroes and role models reveal a society's highest ideals.
Write a response in which you discuss the extent to which you agree or disagree with the claim and the reason on which that claim is based.
Society is not a static entity, rather it is a dynamic one, and thus it is not easy to assess the highest ideals of a society based on who it lionizes or idolizes as heroes or role models. The men and women of a society choose their role models based on various factors and personal reasons, leading to a vast range of human ideals and reasoning. These ideals cannot be used to examine the character of the people they look up to, though it surely may highlight the reason that they look up to them.
The people of society are as diverse as they have even more diverse ideologies and reasoning. The thought process of a man or a woman in a society is influenced by various factors like upbringing as a child, the type of education they receive, their ethnicity as well as the people they surround themselves with. A deeper look into aspects like their tradition, habits, political views, socio-economic background, which leads them to connect with their heroes or role models. When it comes to choosing a hero or a role model, all these factors come into play, hence making it difficult to determine the highest ideals of society as a whole.
The character of men and women can't be defined or outlined by why people choose them as role models or heroes. Of course with face comes the responsibility to maintain a stellar image on the outer front, but what goes on behind the scenes is unknown to the common man. A person with public likeability might be shrewd and arrogant to the people around him/her. It could also happen that an extremely poor person who rose to fame might now not be a hero or an idol to the people of the strata to which he belonged earlier.
Thus one must consider all the implicit factors that accompany the unpredictable nature of human ideologies to assess the characteristics of a person that society looks up to and thus a hero or idol cannot define the ideals of society as a whole.
