American Culture Class: Superheroes
In our American culture class we discussed superheroes
and also we read a part of the book “Superheroes and Philosophy” by Jeph Loeb
and Tom Morris. The authors give us examples of famous superheroes and also
give us explanations about why they are superheroes.
First of all, super heroes are superheroes because they
embody our biggest hopes or our biggest fears. It is not necessary that all
superheroes have superpowers, they can also just have useful abilities over the
human average such as intelligence.
Everybody likes superheroes, because as Plato said, good is
inherently attractive to humans, and that is the mean reason why superheroes' stories have
been popular for so long.
We can learn a lot from superheroes, some superheroes teach
us to don’t give up too easily such as Batman, also Daredevil reminds us that
our limitations are not an impediment to reach our goals. I think all people
should go back to their childhood and feel again the inspiration that they felt
once for superheroes.
