1.Reserch in China

  Now days, superhero movies are the sign of American movies. This kind of movies transmit American heroism to people, deep in these movies, they reflect America’s value and culture. Some reserches in China, tell some specific view points in Amecian movies:There are more and more hero movies, they all claim the heroism. Why would a hero appear? Due to the reality of America, people in America need a hero. And everyone can be a hero in a movie. In movie, the charater do not need be terrific or inherent, they can be a hero at a moment. A hero is not a god, he is a human. He has normal feelings and no fearless. But in reality, there is no person like that. A real hero should conqure the difficult and became a “hero”.

2.Reserch on foregin countries 

  The symbiotic relationship between the American Dream and individual heroism, and the intertwining of these concepts with the history of American success in most realms of human endeavor can no longer be disputed after such a long list of examples.  The question then is; To what degree does this overwhelming religion of hero worship influence the average contemporary American person, and to what ends? Ian Levison’s, A Working Stiff’s Manifesto, A Memoir, lends us the perfect vision of what is becoming of our beloved American Dream along with individualism and the intersection of the two: America’s infatuation with hero worship.We live today in a society where hero worship has led to the downfall of countless millions of Individuals.  The role models, the key figures in the press, all lead Americans down a path from which unimaginable amounts of suffering derive.  Why do these random figures of the media impose so highly upon our lives?  It is obvious: We were raised for it.  Instead of having the communal ideas of Founding Fathers before us (Wootten, The Essential Federalist and Anti-Federalist Papers), we felt the need to attach to some other hero.  A hero for every generation, a sort of leader upon which we can hang our preconceived notions of success and watch those ideas come to fruition.  The saddest part of the whole thing is Americans believe we need these heroes so badly now because the American Dream has infiltrated every aspect of our life so deeply.
