I Love Copyright Laws!


To be candid, I am for Copyright laws. They are their to make sure no one takes the story of say, Batman, and him turn into something he is not. I would hate to see the Cape Crusader do anything else besides fighting evil doers in Gotham city. Maybe the occasional cross-over story would be cool with Superman or other DC heroes, but I have a very specific way I want to see my Batman.

That's not to say I can't see someone else taking Batman and making him do something more interesting, or making him better the way he is now, but at the same time if someone desperately wants to create these stories then they should go work at DC. True, sometimes people aren't so lucky to get opportunities to work for DC, but hey, that's life. I do believe we are all here for a reason and if that reason is something other than what we think, that is alright. People have this problem that if they believe they have a certain purpose in life and they end up not fulfilling that purpose, then that is wrong. They should learn to know that is okay. Failures can lead to successes, but only if we let them.

In sum, yes, we need copyright laws to protect artists work for being stolen. People who want to improve upon an already existing media should seek employment with whatever company owns the rights. If they don't get that opportunity, they should learn that that is alright in the long run.

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.

Mythology and Superheroes in Comics

Ohhh my goodness... When I decided on trying to analyze the mythological origins and references in superhero comics, I had no idea the can of worms I was opening up... On the one hand, it was awesome to see just how many connections there were between superheroes and psychology/mythology/philosophy, but all the information also made it terribly difficult to distinguish what I should be using and how to tie it all together. When I was talking to one of my sorority sisters about it she said, "Oh yeah, well, research essays are kind of like putting together puzzles..." and I think that really sums up what writing this paper was like for me. Fortunately, I was really interested throughout the whole process and I very much enjoyed writing the paper. Being a psychology major, I was especially interested in reading about the Jungian archetypes that had a lot of parallels with major modern comic books superheroes. I was also able to incorporate Joseph Campbell's "hero cycle...

The 1950s Are Often Portrayed As A Period of Social Cohesion...

People didn’t set the standards; the standards were set for you. The 1950s were not a time of social cohesion but it was misleading because it was a time of “don’t air your dirty laundry.” Women were to act perfect; the “Stepford wife” if you will, while the men went to work like “Don Draper.” Although the comic codes were in full fruition, people found ways to cause a raucous. Comic books were the reason that children were acting violently. Comic books are a media outlet and they didn’t have to follow the conservative nature that the decade seemed to promote. One of the most popular selling genres of that time was the Romance comics. The romance comics not only attracted male readers, but female readers as well. This, alone, can be alarming for the “social cohesion” of the 50s because men expected their wives to be at home all day cooking, cleaning, caring for the children, etc. They didn’t want their wives spending any additional time reading comic books. Perhaps the comic co...
