A hero (heroine is usually used for females) (Ancient Greek: ἥρως, hḗrōs), in Greek mythology and folklore, was originally a demigod, their cult being one of the most distinctive features of ancient Greek religion.[1] Later, hero (male) and heroine (female) came to refer to characters who, in the face of danger and adversity or from a position of weakness, display courage and the will for self sacrifice—that is, heroism—for some greater good of all humanity. This definition originally referred to martial courage or excellence but extended to more general moral excellence.
Kirk Douglas and Burt Lancaster were once again paired with Fredric-the-Fricking March in the background.
And of course this is really Twilight Zone since Rod Serling (the real voice of my generation!) wrote the screen play.
Kirk of course put the film together seeking to play the bad guy but, as usual, took a lesser (if not more important) role as the savior of democracy because Burt always got his way. hahahahaha
These third world countries just piss me off as far as how they treat their workers!
Some workers at Amazon.com’s Allentown, Pennsylvania warehouse are reportedly willing to contend with working at a brutal pace in dizzying heat so long as it means having a job.
Only one out of 20 Allentown-based current or former Amazon employees interviewed by The Morning Call reported that the online retailer was a good place to work. During summer heat waves Amazon had paramedics on standby to treat any employees who couldn’t stand the heat, the paper reported. But many workers pushed through difficult working conditions after seeing what happened to other employees who didn’t meet expectations — they were fired and escorted out of the warehouse.
Some employees worked 11-hour days during the holiday season and others were forced to maintain their productivity levels, even during the summer heat, The Morning Call reported. That might be what it takes to get the giant boost in sales Amazon saw last year.
I was directed to Chief Seattle's speech by Joseph Campbell, one of the most interesting lecturers it has ever been my pleasure to hear and see and ponder.
