American Culture Class: Superheros.

     In American class we discussed the American culture idea of 

superheros. There are many famous superheros in American

  culture such as batman, superman and spiderman. We read on 

expert from the book Superheros and Philosophy by Jeph Loeb and 

Tom Moris. Superheros represent our worst nightmares. 

Superheros face question we all have to face in present condition. 

Superheros are extraordinarily powerful people who have both 

strengths and weakness. They typically have superheros - the 

ability to fly or to leap over tall building - or at least normal human

 abilities that have developed to a superhuman level. Plato, the 

Greek philosopher believe that good is inherently attractive. What 

is good will pull us in its direction as long as we are not blocked 

from seeing it and appreciating it. They speak to our hopes. We all 

aspire to make a world, and to be acknowledged for that impact. 

When we confront adversity in our lives, we are often inclined to 

just give up and find an easier path. Batman can inspire us to use 

our lives for something good and noble. Batman can keep us going 

even when the going is very tough.
