"The Necessity of Heroism" (original long title: "The Necessity of Heroism in Brief: Why We Feel We Need Heroes") is an essay paper written by the Dozerfleet founder originally on September 19th of 2003 for WRIT 121 class with Helen Draper for the fall semester of 2003 at Lansing Community College.

History
The class was split into groups, and each group was given a topic to discuss. Group 10 had to address heroism and why there is a sense of necessity to it. The paper below is written to describe, from the perspective of human nature, why there's an innate sense of a need for heroes. Those could be temporal heroes, such as a random Good Samaritan, or spiritual ones, such as God or some religious leader. However, specifics could not be given. After some minor tweaks, the paper was re-released on November 22nd of 2003 as a part of the class giving their "best-of" works to be reviewed as a collective portfolio.
