Is superman American character ?

Theocratically speaking, Superman could fit in any kind of culture or country. He is undeniably stereotype super hero. But is superman American hero? Indeed he is an American character, but is he typical American character ? My answer is yes, even though superman is kind of too good to be true, and even alien like power makes his character somewhat non-realistic. However, since America is all about this perfect, and going by the book society, Superman is an American character. Some people may say he is not, but he is. Also, the way he grew up is all about American frontier, and represent immigrants who moved into America. Superman grew up in farm and moved into the urban society. His transformation into urban society is representing the time superman was born, and at that time it was time of transformation and frontier for American society. Also, he represented immigrant society, and American dream by moving into urban society and becoming a superhero of urban society.

Why blame comics for societal failure?

Why blame comics for societal failure? Society blamed comics for the societal failures because it was a fairly new industry, and as things seemed to go “wrong” they figured it must be comic books. When a child grew up during the war, his father was probably killing people and the military and his mother was probably making things in factories to help kill the opposition. The only things kids had to “babysit” them was comic books, and they read many different kinds. So when kids starting acting differently in this new generation the figured it must be the comic books. Society didn’t want to believe it may have been the internal and external scars war causes on the soldiers and their families. Also the fact that young unattended children are reading these comics may not be able to differentiate between fantasy and reality. When society fails it always needs a scapegoat then it was comic books next it was rock and roll. Society naturally resist change.
