It is said that great people are made, not born. Martin Luther King Jr. and Mahatma Gandhi are such people. Heroes in their own right, they grew up in different worlds and experienced hardships and sorrows which transformed them from ordinary men into heroes who fought for equality and freedom in their countries.

Given the prevalence of violence and suffering in the world today, the need for modern-day heroes who can save this world from inequality and injustice has never been more apparent. These heroes are ordinary people who aspire to make a difference, just like what Martin Luther King Jr. and Mahatma Gandhi achieved.
Modern-day heroes are open-minded
people who live with their morals and ethics intact. They campaign against violence and poverty,
and lend a helping hand to the less-fortunate without any hesitation. Most importantly, they fight for what they
believe in to achieve their goals.
