This is actually one of Zack’s core character flaws, and it’s ultimately what leads to his downfall. Just like how Aerith’s death is deeply tied to her greatest strength, her selflessness, which also becomes her greatest flaw because she’s willing to sacrifice herself for others, Zack’s flaw is his need to be the impossible man. He constantly takes responsibility for everyone around him and believes that if he just tries hard enough, he can save everyone. It’s an incredibly admirable trait, but it also means he rarely accepts his own limitations and repeatedly takes on burdens no one person could realistically carry. Zack can’t stand the idea of leaving someone behind or failing to protect the people he cares about, so he keeps pushing forward no matter the odds. That’s what makes his story so tragic I think (and why some people see him as cookie cutter). His downfall doesn’t come from selfishness or a lack of courage, but from one of his most heroic qualities being taken to its absolute extreme. In the same way Aerith’s compassion and self sacrificing nature ultimately leads her to give everything for others, Zack’s unwavering desire to save everyone eventually costs him everything too
You reduce crime by eliminating poverty. The actual reason so called nice neighborhoods have lower crime rates is because people’s basic needs are being met. It is not because of police, alarm systems, or neighborhood associations. Poverty creates crime.
