The American Culture Class : Superheroes


The American Culture Class : Superheroes

      In American Culture Class we discussed the american idea of superheroes . There are many famous superheroes in American culture such as Batman,Superman ,Spiderman  ,,,etc . We read an except form the book 'superheroes and philosophy' by Jeph Loeb and Tom Morris . Many writers , artists , and other people who create the stories of  Superheroes believe that these characters embody our deepest hopes and fears. They feel that superheroes represent our highest ambitions and help us deal with our worst nightmares .Superheroes have powers and abilities far beyond ordinary human abilities . But most importantly ,every one of them pursues justice,helps people who cannot help themselves ,and fights evil with the force of good. They are extraordinarily powerful people who have both strengths and weaknesses .Plato , the Greek philosopher, believed that good is inherently attractive.But they have probably been around for so long and have continued to be so popular, in part because they speak to our hopes. When we confront adversity in our lives, we are often inclined to just give up and find an easier path. But superheroes show us that nothing worth doing is easy. Batman can keep us going even when the going is is very tough.

The American Presidential Elections Debate



The American Presidential Elections Debate

      In American Culture Class we held a debate last week about the American presidential elections.We discussed many of Obama’s and Romney's politics and what are the difference’s between them. For example Obama is supporting a abortion and same sex-marriage .Otherwise Romney is disagree .And Obama’s policy is the education more important than economy ,So the education is first and the economy is the second .Romney has another hand that the economy is more important than the education .As a result, the debate was very important and we hope the right person wins the presidency of America .

Who is policy do you agree with?

Racism

Racism

     I read a story a bout John who is an African American who played football in college .Also, he was a partner in a large law firm and lived in a mostly white suburban neighborhood .And every night when he came home from work around 6:30pm ,he would change into his jogging clothes and go for a run through the streets of his town .Also, when white people saw him running toward them, they often crossed the street quickly ; several times a police patrol car stopped him and asked for his identification and where he was going in such a hurry .These things mad him angry because the people who lived in his neighborhood take a bad prejudice about him. As a result , we must believe that there are no differences between white people and black people we are the same . All of us just a human being .
