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.
