Superheroes!

Hey all, to get started with our blog project I've chosen a blog from psychologytoday.com all about superheroes: www.psychologytoday.com/blog/the-superheroes. This is a single author blog created by Robin Rosenberg that talks about various characteristics and perspectives of superheroes. The posts are varied, addressing topics from "what" makes a superhero, to Wonder Women, to comic book nerds. This week I would like for everyone to focus on the post from March 2010 entitled "What Is a Superhero?" Read through the post and notice how the images she's incorporated might be working with what she's saying. Pay particular attention to comments from her readers - What do you notice about these comments? How are people responding to the ideas she's presenting? Look through the suggested prompts for respondants on the blog project instructions posted on Carmen and begin commenting!

  1. With the advancement in medicine and technology, anybody can be a hero and the kind of hero of their dreams.

  2. This blog's first post about superheroes brought to my attention the dictionary definition of a hero, which is not what I thought it would be, and far different from what we concluded in class. I think some research needs to be done in the way the meaning of the word has evolved through time.
