Prof. Philip G. Zimbardo (Author, "The Lucifer Effect") researched to be the evil in man. But now he focuses all his energies in the opposite direction: the research and promotion of heroism:
What makes people become heroes, what drives them to perform heroic, role model to all of us in their actions ... How and we can even expose heroic qualities in us and our children?
What do you mean a hero? were
In my childhood the most Heroic war heroes - men who had killed people. But a hero can be a single mother who makes a terrible job as a toilet cleaner in order to send their children to school. This is a heroic act: You sacrifice something to help someone else. Not all mothers do this another example: For me, harassment or bullying, the social evil. I want to help students to fight back: Not alone, but together with others. The most effective heroism has always been based on forming groups. Gandhi has done so, and Nelson Mandela, too. The student has to offer to the Bully: If you stop, we are your friends, and we do not squeal. If you do not stop, we will all be your enemies. This can work.
Is there an instruction manual for heroism?
To be a hero, you need only one thing: the willingness to act for others. This is not easy, because you ask yourself, "What is in it for me" But if everyone would think like that, there are no good Samaritan like Mother Teresa and Martin Luther King. Anyone can be a hero if he internalized the attitude: "I am a hero in wait, and if the right situation comes, I react."
try anchor children in a "HELD IN POSITION LAUER. How does it work?
moment I work with a teacher from Michigan, appropriate teaching materials. In some classes already such a thing as "heroic imagination" is taught. The children have to say who is a hero in her family and her surroundings. We let the kids also do role playing, challenge the heroes in them. They learn that a hero is a deviant forever.
What should I learn this?
A hero proceeds to act where others just watch. He has to recognize which forces him discourage action could - as diffuse responsibility, the feeling that someone else will have to intervene. And he must train his actions: He who does something every day for others, the threshold for achievement overcomes more easily.
Every day a good deed?
If you examine everyday heroes, you realize that there are often people who are using is not foreign. Because they themselves were once in need, have maintained a relative or be used in other forms for other people. Our students are, therefore, do good to others every day - even if it is just kind words.
There is only some heroes, who were her life heroes such as Gandhi and Mother Teresa. Many people are heroes of the moment - from the situation ".. So Zimbardo This would turn actively against evil and help
His new" main goal in life is this heroic INTRODUCTION TO DISTRIBUTE "- as well as . in children because "the more you believe in yourself as a hero on hold, you will assist in due course."
