Margaret Sanger was an undeniably significant contributor who made a huge impact on the future of women’s civil liberties. A nurse with a prolific writing career, Sanger delivered her speech “The Children’s Era” in 1925, a text that advocates for the use of contraceptives to improve the lives of mothers and children. Throughout the speech, she employs the use of analogies to provide clarity to her purpose and deliver a lasting message that women’s bodies must be controlled if they are to effectively fulfill their maternal obligations. Sanger also incorporates two of the Aristotelian appeals, logos and pathos, to accentuate the plight that mothers and children must face despite an accessible solution.

Universally, audiences gather that there tends to be an energizing icon located in the midsection or the chest, ranging from a cape to a mask and to simply, just a letter. The general composition of the costume of the hero tends to relay a certain message to readers in relation to the colors and images in relation to them. These symbols link closely to the experience and feelings such as love, hate, compassion, anger, etc, and are exceedingly arbitrary to their specific hero. Superheroes in the present are now what society would have called Greek Gods in ancient times, the warriors that fight all major battles in the world and venture on treacherous quests into the wild. After centuries of watching variations of heroes be created and brought to life through cinematic films, the foundation of a hero has remained a constant symbol of hope. For individuals with religious affiliations, symbols of hope may include a cross, a book, or other biblical symbol that enables them to feel safe. Superheroes themselves are a symbol of hope and optimism to restore peace within a disrupted community. With instituting the occurrence of war and depression occurring from time to time in history, the massive amounts of panic called for a distraction.

He represents the go-between of two worlds – the one of regular mortals and the superhero world. Thus he straddles the boundary of a duality or an opposition and is simultaneously on one side and the other, trying to incorporate both opposing sides (through the split in regular and superhero identity). Hence the superhero is characterized by the tension of belonging to two different worlds, he represents an identity crisis and speaks for the people, who like him, belong to different worlds and are not entirely at home in either. This is why they are so engaging; superhero comics demonstrate facilitate the empowerment of those who have traditionally been marginalized. In this sense, such superheroes straddle the division between being denied power and having power. Superheroes have to do with power – identification with power, power that you either have, believe you have, or that you might like to have.
