1-4-6



           Superhero films have a focus on values. All heroes have a set of values. They are usually honesty, integrity, reliability, and respect. They stand up for the innocent, battle evil, and teach us these values. However these heroes do not always possess these values from birth. They are usually taught from family members or friends, thus I come to the conclusion that superhero films place an emphasis on family and friendship values. Superman learned his values from his Earth parents. They raised him, taught him what was right and wrong. The Avengers had to learn to trust their partners. This is an example of culture. Our culture is passed down from one generation to another. Parent teaches child. Child also learns from others, our culture shapes our actions.
            These actions/values we have learned have taught us how to participate in life. Parents teach us how to shop, how to find bargains, and how to save money. We use our values to interact with each other and how to treat each other. Superheroes have the same values, and it is clearly depicted in their films, treat everyone the way you want to be treated. This is the golden rule that we have learned since kindergarten.
            After the past analysis I have learned that these films are not only entertaining us, they are teaching us morals and values, and with any research I do into a subject, I gain more respect for that subject.
