The government banned motorcycle ride sharing so thousands of people are inconvenienced. A politician then cancels the ban under "his" efforts and get praised. He is said to have manufactured heroism.

Suicide by Heroism

Similar to suicide by police, this method of killing yourself is done by throwing yourself in a dangerous situation, knowing you will likely die, but also knowing that you will save others in the process and finally be appreciated for once.
While this may sound like just straight up heroism, it is more than that. This form of suicide is committed by people who desire attention, and are likely depressed, but also want to do good for this world before taking their leave.
Guy 1: "DUDE, DID YOU SEE THE NEWS?"
Guy 2: "No, why?"
Guy 1: "This kid at my school just prevented a mass shooting by throwing himself onto the gunman and knocking him unconscious. He got shot multiple times though and died from bleeding out."
Guy 2: "Why the fuck did he do that?!"
Guy 1: "Some people call it 'Suicide by Heroism', to be honest, that kid was obviously depressed so this has to have been the case. I wish we would have known sooner. Then again, he probably saved our asses."
Guy 2: "Yeah, that's for sure. He'll be remembered."

Moral Heroism

A person who is willing to sacrifice everything, even his/her life, to assume a noble role of a blameless, righteous, virtuous and good person.

Their orientation toward morals would be considered brave and a true champion of achieving good and rightness, almost to be considered god-like in morals.

Most people do not consider moral heroism as obligatory, it is not forced. One dictated by moral heroism binds them self to this contract under personal desire and will only.
Shawn is a moral hero, the true definition of moral heroism, because he has not even considered his own entitlement to his personal belongings or his health. Since he has gave it all away, including his life savings and even his extra organs, to guarantee the maximum good has been achieved, the maximum he is capable of granting.

Heroinsmith

The very first video game which teaches you how to shoot up with real needles. Heroinsmith is a lot like it's predecessor, Heroin Hero, but it uses real needles and real heroin instead of simulated heroin. Heroinsmith is usually played before playing Rocksmith to help you relax before playing.
I fucked up my Rocksmith career by playing too much Heroinsmith.
