why do some people risk their lives for other people?

  Many everyday people risk their lives for others. Wether they do it every day, like fire fighters and police officers, or if it was a one time situation. Though saving someones life is an amazing thing, some people have different reasons for risking their own life for someone else.

   Some people risk their lives for others because they want to be recognized as a hero.  Risking your life is a selfless act, and wanting to be recognized for it is not a bad thing. Though, some people risk thir lives because they believe in the importance of people.

  Another reason some people risk their lives for others because they would want someone to do the same for them. If I was in need of help, I would want someone to help me, even if they did not know me. Many people save others for this reason alone.

Many people are affraid to die and want to stay safe. And that is why some people do or do not risk their lives for others.
