Are Superheroes Good Role Model

“Since it is so likely that children will meet cruel enemies, let them at least have heard of brave knights and heroic courage. Otherwise, you are making their destiny not brighter but darker.” — C.S. Lewis. A popular debate that has been raging since the first comic was published is, are superheroes good role models? Superheroes are good role models for many reasons. They teach kids to be selfless, have the courage to do what’s right, to be dedicated and hardworking, and to be accepting of others. Superheroes are good role models. Superheroes teach kids to be selfless. Spider-Man is a great example of a superhero who is selfless. Spider-Man faced off against two of the Phoenix Five to make sure the Avengers could get to safety and finish their rescue mission. He barely got out alive. This shows that he put his comrade’s safety above his own. If it wasn’t for Spider-man’s selflessness, the rescue mission would have probably failed and the Avenger’s lives would be in even more

They teach kids to be selfless, to have the courage to do what’s right, to be dedicated and hard working, and to accept all people despite any differences. As Steve Rodgers once famously quoted to Peter Parker, “It doesn't matter what the press says. It doesn't matter what the politicians or the mobs say. Doesn't matter if the whole country decides that something wrong is something right. This nation was founded on one principle above all else: The requirement that we stand up for what we believe, no matter the odds or the consequences. When the mob and the press and the whole world tell you to move, your job is to plant yourself like a tree beside the river of truth, and tell the whole world - 'No, you move.’ This is what superheroes are teaching kids. They are encouraging them to become great people and great citizens who help make the world a better place. Superheroes are good role models. Thank
