With so many heroes parading around in U.S cities and the U.S media and 
President Obama coronating
heroes in Tucson,I have began to observe that there seem to be a penchant to 
declare lots of people heroes.It is beginning to remind  me of the 
"self-esteem" agenda. I am not sure if the Aussies are declaring first 
responders in Brisbane as heroes.
Anyway,with so many people donning the hero 
mantel,this would seem to suggest that the "diffusion of responsibility" 
paradigm re Kitty Genovese may not be concurrently valid.
Btw,why don't we declare humans that save animsls a heroes? Sociobiological 
human self-aggrandizement,
maybe?
