The Rise Of Superheroes

This year’s Democratic National Committee server breach attempts to compromise Hillary Clinton’s chance of becoming the first women to receive the United States presidency. The focus here will be on the motives behind the D.N.C. breach, whose systems are at risk, long and short term consequences of this breach, and how this breach could have been avoided. There are two theories on the motives behind the network breach. After the breach, there is an extreme likelihood that any system within the 2016 presidency campaign is or will be violated. Short-term consequences includes Hillary Clinton losing the race for the U.S. presidency. Long-term consequences in the United States include a continuing pattern of distrust between the citizens and federal government. Creating and implementing procedures that avoid phishing e-mails, social engineering tactics, and spoofed web logins could have saved the DNC from the public’s outrage over the D.N.C.’s leaked e-mails.

Superheroes can be defined in many ways by many experts. Clare Pitkethly’s academic background consists of comparative literature, culture and communication as she also speaks and writes comic books and superhero, defines a superhero to be different. In Pitkethly’s article “Straddling a Boundary: The Superhero and the Incorporation of Difference,” talks about

During the course of the battle for Truth and Justice, man and sword came together at last. Holding the sword, Superman found himself expanding, spreading across the winds of the universe. The entire history of creation flooded his mind, and his consciousness expanded as he became and all-seeing and all

For centuries, man has struggled with the concepts of good and evil and have produced astounding works as a reflection of it. This is ideally the foundation of early fables and folklore dating back to ancient civilizations. Stories about famed heroes and the battle of good and evil woven into extravagant tales of danger, destiny, and triumph. These stories were often assimilated into individual societies, told from generation to generation until eventually finding themselves becoming an integral part of the culture. In 1938, a new era began to emerge known as the “golden age” of superheroes. Superman made his first appearance in action comics, forging a unique identity as the first comic book superhero in American culture and quickly

Waiting for a hero to come and save the day is sometimes the only option some people are able to depend on. In the documentary “Waiting for Superman”, the education in the United States of America is portrayed as an unsuccessful system that produces unsuccessful students. Within this documentary, Guggenheim portrays an image for the fictional character, Superman. Superman is a symbolizing factor in this documentary due to his heroic and gallant behavior as a character.

In the shows, movies, and comics Superman shares numerous trait with Jesus Christ. First of all, Superman is between the ages twenty-nine to thirty-five while Christ was thirty-three years of age. Often times in Superman cartoons he is shown to be captured by his enemies in a crucified manner similar to how Christ was nailed to the cross. Then, in the movie Superman Returns, Superman harms his hands in his attempt to launch a large mass of Kryptonite, his only weakness which drains his body of vital energy, away from Earth. This also saves the lives of thousands of people and animals from the massive cracking and earthquakes occurring due to the chemicals presence on Earth.

In recent years the Hispanic population in the United States has grown over the past years or so. As the growth of Latinos/Hispanic population it can be debated, as Latinos/Hispanics have been taking over and becoming he largest minority group in the United States. As Hispanic/Latinos has been flourishes in the past years and now, the introduction of “Latino” and “Hispanic” has been marked into our vocabulary. However, since the terms “Hispanic” and “Latino” have been introduced into our vocabulary, there has been a sense of lost and confusion surroundings what to call people who have some kind of background from Latin American and Spanish-speaking countries.

A hero is universally seen as a selfless individual who puts the needs of others before themselves. Heroes usually hold the same values; honor, nobility, integrity, and strength. Now what happens when a person does not hold those heroic values? What if their motivations did not have good intentions? These are the questions that will be answered using the deconstruction critical lenses. “Today, it is much harder to detach the concept of heroism from morality; we only call heroes those whom we admire and wish to emulate.” (Lebarge web) The Greek myth of Theseus and the Minotaur has evolved into the modern trilogy of Batman which, when deconstructed, reveals how the selfish motivations of

This source discusses relation between crime and justice in two of most popular superheroes Batman and Superman. The article talks about the different societies and environments that the superheroes reside in. Batman belonging to a large crime invested Gotham city and Superman residing in New York City after coming to earth after his home planet was destroyed. This article also is quick to point out these two characters were brought about

The concept of a hero has been around for many generations, and the meaning of a hero is defined in ways people grasp its idea. A hero can be a person who has a superpower and is willing to make a personal sacrifice for the benefit of others or can be an ordinary everyday person who just wants to help people out of his or her own heart. Linda Seger’s article, “Creating the Myth,” tackles the idea of a “Hero 's Myth,” and shows the ten steps of how heroes are transformed from an ordinary person to the Savior. On the other hand, Robert B. Ray piece titled, “The Thematic Paradigm,” emphasizes that in modern films, it is either having an “Outlaw Hero or an Official Hero,” which he uses three stages to demonstrates how they are different each other in the way they perform in the society. Further, the article, “Out of Character: Wonder Woman’s Strength Is Her Compassion - What Happened?” by Stevie St. John, explains how Wonder Woman was viewed as a compassionate woman in the 1940s and 1950s, and in the 2000s she changes into a more violent person. In this essay, I argue that a hero is subjective, and is defined by the villain or event that they had to adapt to suddenly.

The portrayal of superheroes in films has changed in terms of their character, appearance, style and strength. Superheroes has been a popular theme in hollywood films since its inception. They are what peoples imagination can only think of. A perfect human being who saves the world .The first time superhero appeared on T.V was “The Adventures of Captain Marvel” in 1941. Superheroes was on the rise within popular comic books in 1930′s to the 1940’s as well in which they were considered the ‘Golden Age of Comic Books’ . Comic books became widespread and popular which translated into making films about them.

The fictional character of Superman has weaknesses as does Charles Perkins, which leads to constant struggles to stay in power. Ultimately, he has these flaws so we can relate to him. So it goes without question that Superman and Charles Perkins desire was to improve the world with their power, instead of using it for their personal gain. Both of their upbringings were for the benefit of the community. Evidence suggests that both of them have two guardians such as birth parents and people who raised them. Inevitably, Superman wants fame because he doesn’t hide his identity and obviously wants people to know who their saviour is. Ultimately, Charles Perkins wants the same. The similarity makes them timeless. He wants to be noticed, wants to make a difference and finally wants to be remembered. Unfortunately, Superman will be never accepted in the modern world because of his exceptional powers therefore will be an outcast. Obviously, he realises no human can achieve what he has. On the other hand Charles Perkins is not accepted because of his race and colour. He is of a mixed race and not accepted by his family members and unfortunately is not accepted by the whites. He is in no man’s land and doesn’t fit in. Therefore, regardless of what he has achieved, he will always be an

Through my analyzation of these values, I have assessed the relevance of superheroes in cinema through the impact of American popular culture, the contrast of gender roles, and their impact on children. As a result, society should be gracious toward the immense popularity of superhero films, as they bolster American popular culture and positively impact children from a young age. Although the gender roles might be a bit skewed, many film companies are taking steps to include women in more empowering roles such as Wonder Woman in the DC cinematic universe. Therefore, superheroes in cinema tend to only create and preserve positive characteristics within society, which is glorious in the future of mankind. In closing, I end with the question, “Which superhero best depicts

The events that impacted my life the most was the move across the country from Georgia to California. It was July 13, 2012 when my family and I drove away from my old house in Georgia, where I left my school, all of my friends, and my favorite places to go. Our first stop for the night was in Memphis, Tennessee, about 530 miles away from home and 8 hours closer to California. This first part of the trip was the most painful, all I could think about were my friends and things I won't be able to tell them, because at the time I didn't have my own cell phone and neither did my friends. Over the next few days we stopped in Lawton,Oklahoma to visit where my older brother was born and to see my dads old army base, and in Flagstaff, Arizona to see
