Answer 2

Answer:

Strangers can act heroically because the heroic personality not only in sport but in others spheres of daily life provides the subject with the exceptional nature denied them in his daily work logic. Reporters may risk their lives to do their jobs, because journalism is spoken of as a high-risk profession since, the journalist understands that the truth, although it may affect images of politicians and powerful people, must be counted as the only means of confronting phenomena rooted in society, such as corruption and tyrannies.

Explanation:

Ordinary people can act heroically in chaotic situations

The speaker makes it clear that his focus in on ordinary people since he says the distinction between the rich and the poor is non existent in such a situation. Then , he makes reference to cartmen's being helpful. The speaker sets a possibility of ordinary people's being heroic because , although he has heard that some people have charged others for helping sufferers  and he thinks this can be true, he has not seen people doing so. He has seen people helping others in exchange for whatever can be given to them or even for nothing. Therefore, these deeds are heroic.
