From Antoinette Tuff to Captain Sully, heroes are made, not born
- August 30, 2013
- Kristen Monroe, political science professor and UCI Interdisciplinary Center for the Scientific Study of Ethics and Morality director, is quoted in the Washington Post August 30, 2013
From the Washington Post:
Heroes aren't born, they're made. …And Kristen Monroe, a political scientist at the
University of California, Irvine, reported that those who rescued people who were
persecuted during World War II were more inclined to feel close to all their fellow
humans – not just those belonging to a particular race, religion or group. They saw
humanity almost as a large extended family, and that outlook helped compel them to
act when they saw people in distress.
