New Years reflection

THis month we continued on the sorties of modern heroes.  How Onokwo either was a hero to some or wasn't to others.  I personally do not see him a being  hero but i can see him as being a good role modle.  He worked his was up from nothing and ended up being one very powerful figure head in his village.  He had a successful harvest every year and had many wives.  I personally wish to be as successful as he was and be able to provide for my family.  But i would never be ruled the way he was, he was ruled with greed wanting to be the best feeling that he was superior to everyone else.  Those are to me very selfish and sick views of your fellow man.  So to me he was not a hero at all.  He was ruled my selfish desires and ended up not caring about his family as much ad a father and husband should he was even thought to be harsh in his own culture.  It just seems very wrong to me personally

  1. Will, some good discussion of the literature here, but what happened to the article?
    Also, don't forget that one of the requirements of the monthly blog is to make a societal connection to the issue you've raised.
    If you're confused about what I'm looking for, check out some of your classmates' blogs, or look at the examples I gave you (also posted on the AP wikispace), or just ask me :-).
