Many people believe that the act of courage lies within each individual, and these acts of courage can be brought out by three possible causes. First, provocation. Often times this is seen in movies where the villain kidnaps and threatens to kill the hero's family. More often than not, the hero finds it within himself to put aside his fears and overcome near impossible odds to save the day. In Batman Begins, Batman found the courage to fight criminals after his parents were killed. The second cause is a purpose.
