A hero is a person who steps up to perform a duty that is dangerous, difficult, and to many, frightening or abhorrent. A hero does this without thought of compensation or praise. A hero is motivated to risk himself/herself due to innate compassion or taught morals and he does it for the greater good.

And TalkHost...the man who pounded on the door did what most people would expect, if he entered the house than in my view, he would be a hero.
