Is Superman a Good Role Model?

In a world where Superman can be anything… he chooses to be the good guy.

Superman is a very kind-hearted and selfless superhero. I like to think of Superman as more than just a hero, he is a friend, a leader, and a very good role model. Superheroes/villains can choose to be the good guy or the bad guy, it’s very tempting to pick the bad guy because the bad guy has so much power to where they can just take over the world and basically own it. Choosing to be the good guy means you choose to help instead of harm, defend rather than destroy, and love more than hate. It takes a big heart to be a good, kind person.

 Although we humans don’t have superpowers we can still be a hero, we can learn to be a little more like Superman, since we can’t fly and save people or use super strength to defeat the bad guy, how can we become a hero without powers? You don’t have to be perfect to be a hero, because everyone makes mistakes no matter how hard you try to be perfect.

 First, you have to accept the fact that you can not possibly be perfect, so making mistakes is fine. Second, be patient with everyone, be patient with anyone in any situation. Third, respect everyone, if you respect everyone they will respect you “most of the time”. Fourth, Always do the right thing, if you always do the right thing no matter what, that is also a way for people to respect you and try to become more like you. Last, be kind, gentle, truthful, and helpful. These are some things that I learned from Superman because he is a good role model
