Abstract:
In this essay I explore Jeremy Safran’s intellectual career as a hero’s journey or monomyth within the specific context of psychotherapy research. I argue that he fits such model in the sense that his work – though deeply informed by theories – was singularly focused and driven by his own sense of his role and mission within the profession. Rather than attempting to review in detail the entire scope or specific parts of his research contributions, I look at his scholarship as a kind of quest, a pursuit that was trans-theoretical but unified by foundational questions about the unique nature of the relationship between therapist and patient.Keywords:

Scope (computer science)
The research aims to examine the image of the hero in the world view of modern teenagers. The main objective of the research was to identify the image of a hero in contemporary adolescent subculture, taking into account age and gender. Results showed that the image of the hero teenagers formed exclusively in the screen plane of relations with the world. The image of the hero is incomplete. Teens celebrate the behavioral characteristics of a hero. Over a third of young people note the absence of its own hero. The hero of teenage is movie hero and a public personality.

This study investigates the possible causes that make or break the hero character in children’s literature. It looks into if these causes could be seen as universal, or if they change due to variations of outer influence. To achieve this, the study will examine these causes from three different perspectives; the hero's effect, the child reader's choice and the influence of the author. Out of these, the prime influence and main causes are found in connection with the hero’s effect, and therefore this study will have its main focus on the hero. To demonstrate all the effect the hero has, I have first shortly redefined the structure of the core of the hero, and then shown how the hero character manifests as three specific hero-types that underline all existing hero characters, these I have named: the 'Traditional Hero', the 'True Hero' and the 'Ultimate Hero'. These hero-types are then further examined in connection to change, rules regarding right and wrong and possible impairments to determine their inner models of behaviour, which manifest in their respective social realities. These models define those specific causes that contribute to the making or breaking the hero. The secondary focus is divided between the child reader and the author out of which the study will first investigate the child reader’s affect on the hero. This is accomplished through determining what affects the child reader’s perceptions and preferences regarding the hero as well as demonstrating how the child reader' s choice of hero is a process consisting of individual factors such as rejection, choice and abandonment. These factors determine whether or not the hero is accepted or remains as, a hero, and thus contribute to those possible causes that can make or break the hero's character. Finally, this study will examine the author’s influence on the hero by mainly how the author's covert and overt choices affect the hero's character. This will demonstrate that the author's main contribution to the hero's character is connected to the inert choice of the hero-type, which in turn contributes to the hero's failure or success. This point is further demonstrated through a children’s book I wrote in which I purposefully attempted to write a hero which would be chosen by the child reader. My failure to do so concurred with my findings.

In a novel, it is often found that there is a character which becomes a center of the attention. That character can be a good character or the bad one. In literature, this character is named The Hero. This study is used to reveal how the role of a hero in case of building a completed story is. The hero which will be analyzed here is the hero in She Came to Stay written by Simone de Beauvoir. To analyze the hero in that novel, two theories which are brought by Northrop Frye is used, Theory of Modes and Theory of Mythos. Both of those theories is really related to the creation of a story and the hero in it. By using Theory of Modes, it will be easy to understand the position of the hero which is created by the processes in the story such as becoming inferior and superior. Almost the same to last theory, Theory of Mythos also analyzes how the story creates the hero from another point or view. It sees the story in case of giving some conditions which will be experienced by the hero. Those conditions can create the hero. When Francoise becomes a hero, this study also sees that there will be some changes as some effects of becoming a hero. That becomes the focus also for this study. Keywords: hero, superiority, inferiority, innocent, experience

Apollonius' Jason has been variously described by scholars as a ‘weak and insignificant hero’, a ‘tame and insipid’ character compared with that of Medea, ‘discreet, proper, quite weak, and somewhat colourless’, ‘never quite equal to the emergency, and can never rise above his immediate troubles’, ‘cold and selfish’, ‘uninteresting when he is not repellent’, an anti-hero, and a love-hero. But, with the exception of R. Hunter's view of Jason as a human being forced by necessity to carry out tasks which no Homeric hero was ever called upon to do, most scholars have erred in comparing the Hellenistic hero Jason with the archetypal hero of epic tradition.

As far as the literary works at the 17 Years are concerned, hero is the common selection of the times and literature. There's a kind of special “hero anxiety” due to the political oversimplify about hero, which presents on the heroes both in the war and reality and attributes to the whither of the sense of reality on human being. Meanwhile, the breakthrough from the hero creates just strengthened the state of Hero Issue at some extent.

This article reports the results of a study designed to determine student and advisor attitudes toward the extent to which the nationally established purposes of the Future Homemakers of America (FHA) student organization were being achieved in Wisconsin Home Economics Related Occupations (HERO) chapters. FHA and HERO chapters have the same purposes. To carry out the assessment, an instrument containing attitude statements reflecting achievement of the various purposes was developed and administered to 76 percent of all HERO advisors and 26 percent of all HERO students in Wisconsin. Calculations of reliability indicated the instrument was an effective device for measuring attitudes toward achievement of the FHA‐HERO purposes in HERO chapters. Calculations of mean attitude scores re vealed that all purposes were being achieved in Wisconsin HERO chapters but only to a moderate degree. Application of students' t‐tests further indicated that advisors felt half of the purposes were being achieved to a significantly greater extent than did students and that both students and advisors felt some purposes were being achieved to a significantly greater extent than other purposes. Based on the findings, recommendations were made for both HERO and teacher education program planning and further research.

This paper seeks to examine how Heathcliff is portrayed as a Charming Anti-hero in Emily Bronte’s Wuthering Heights . The focus on the Anti-hero is a departure from the prominence given to the hero in literature. This article explores the concept of the Anti-hero and how the character has been handled in works of literature. It also examines the evolution of the Anti-hero in works of literature and offers an explanation as to why he should be a significant literary figure to study. Keywords : anti-hero, character, novel & hero

This paper,by reviewing the connotations of the concept of hero in three different periods of Three kingdoms Era(Late Han Dynasty),modern and contemporary ages,tries to analyze the forming and changing process of the concept of local hero.The concept of hero emerged in Han Dynasty and formed at the Three Kingdoms Era.Through the change in modern and contemporary ages,the connotations of the concept of hero had been extended from monarch to common people,and the core of its definition shifted from the wisdom and capacity of the hero to the relations between the hero and the group,to the contribution of the individual hero to the group.This showed the tendency of civilianization and groupization of the hero.

This paper represents a first attempt to study traditions and the personality construction of the hero in writing the novel. Philosophy of writing novels makes clear that a complete understanding of the novel requires data on both film and writing. Previous empirical work has dealt with the transfer of resources between the hero and the novel, either using data on the novel, or with data solely obtained from the hero. Using a novel things fall apart as a model, I study two types of novels: transfers to the author and the hero towards the personality’ in the novel. I find evidence in support of the hero of transfer behavior, in that the novel tends to receive lower transfers, other things being equal. However, the results show that traditions and the personality construction of the hero are positively associated with the community and the weather surrounded. The estimation strategy controls for the effect of traditions and the personality construction of the hero and to distinguish between the hero and the writer in the novel.

The Epic hero Beowulf is honored as a great leader of his nation, but such a hero is isolated. He was not born a hero. In his growth, he is often detached from his family and society. Isolation makes up the critical part of the process of being a great hero.
