I'm looking at looting photos from space, and there are people putting their lives on the line every day protecting their heritage. I call these people the real culture heroes.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I am one of many people documenting damage and looting at ancient sites from space - it is such a crucial tool.
Americans rightly, but sometimes excessively, celebrate every person in uniform as a hero, but seldom honor the difficult and often dangerous work being done day after day by members of our diplomatic corps. Warriors capture the popular imagination more easily than peacemakers.
People who really try to be conscious of what they have done, who take responsibility, to me these kinds of people are heroes.
We need to broaden our sympathies both in space and time - and perceive ourselves as part of a long heritage, and stewards for an immense future.
Our culture is at its best when we protect and encourage the weakest. Every life - at every stage, in every place - has a dignity beyond our imagining.
My heroes are those who risk their lives every day to protect our world and make it a better place - police, firefighters and members of our armed forces.
People call us heroes, but we are nothing compared to our police force and fire fighters and everybody who protects us and makes sure our freedom is held to the highest standard.
Some people are so famous that the legends about them and the cultural aftermath of their life altogether obscure the real human being.
Without a good cultural policy, without adequate help, we will always have individualists, shooting stars who are rapidly forgotten or who stop painting for a more profitable occupation.
When somebody goes outside the cultural norms, the culture has to protect itself.
