Morally high-spirited superheroes and heroes

Yesterday's article "Superstition, a way to solve the problem" mentioned that one of my nephews, the little guy from a young age is not very fast, look at that head is obviously smaller than the same age of children, fortunately the intellectual development is very good, eccentric.

Lately, he was very happy when I came home because I would buy him toys, and my mom often nagged me about it.

"There are enough toys at home, you buy them back, and when people leave, I have to clean them up."

It is true that I created this trouble, coaxed the children to be happy, and I was happy, but as soon as I turned around and left, I had nothing to do, and the broken things were left for others to deal with.

Sure enough, care and affection without time is unreliable.

On Saturday night, I was playing a game with him, and he took out all the treasured toys, about a basket, and I couldn't tell what to do.

Don't look at the child's small, he can clearly distinguish, of all the toys, his favorite is the toy with confrontational play attributes.

Like Optimus Prime and Decepticon in Transformers, and Ultraman fighting monsters and the like, he knows the role of each toy in the game.

Humans do have something in common with other animals, and they can learn by playing or playing.

When I was playing games with him, when the two sides chose the opposing role, I found that he chose the role that represented justice, which was particularly interesting.

I asked him why he chose this way, and the logic he gave was that the righteous character was powerful, always able to defeat the villain, this recognition should be usually affected by watching the animation, that is, justice must be able to defeat evil.

Although it is only a game, his choice and cognition have profound sociological significance, although he does not understand it.

For example, he said that justice will defeat evil, and we usually hear this from childhood.

As for why justice must triumph, the general impression is that the righteous side occupies the moral high ground, and the bad guys are bound to suffer a fiasco in the light of morality.

But the problem arises again, morality is a group value behavior, and there is a different scale of people's moral values, which means that the level of morality is high and low.

So why will the side that represents justice be victorious, and won't the bad guys resist? It is also possible that there are more people with low moral standards.

There is also this experience often in the reality of moral high morality, and bad people often live well because they have low moral standards, are less morally constrained, and behave in a good way

This means that those with low moral standards can often choose more means, not necessarily the side with low odds.

So the real situation should be this, morality is the result of competition, not the cause, because you lose, your morality is a problem.

Whoever masters higher and stronger violence is likely to be the morally superior party.

Morality is a means of maintaining order, and order is determined by the will of the strong.

So what really determines the victory of the game is violence, Optimus Prime has to have more strength than the Decepticon, even if the Decepticon returns to evil, his strength will not increase because of his moral turn.

In the same way, the strength of Optimus Prime must always suppress the Decepticon Tiger, if he does not have the strength to support, the justice in his mouth is like a spit star, just out of the mouth, the wind blows and melts, nothing, then the moral criticism may become him.

The child does not understand these logics, but he will have this instinct, that is, to understand that there is violence to have the right to speak.

Every child basically has such a dream, that is, to become a superhero, in fact, adulthood is the same, which is why Marvel movies can eat all ages.

To another cultural context, such as China, it is the same, every child, of course, including adults, wants to become a kind of person, that is, a hero.

Superheroes can speak out and save the world, and Chinese heroes can also do chivalrous righteousness, and draw swords to help each other when the road is uneven.

The main reason why everyone wants to be a superhero and a hero is that there is a great luck component to become both, everyone has a chance, do not look at the background, do not look at the origin, only look at the opportunity.

For example, to become a superhero, there are two general paths, that is, the rich rely on technology, and the poor rely on mutation.

You see, does this way of mutation also leave the poor with a chance to become heroes?

Just like Spider-Man, by chance, he was bitten by a spider, and as a result, his body mutated and became a superhero, although the probability of this opportunity is very low, and it is very dangerous, but at least it is very fair, unlike the rich who rely on technology, but also fight for equipment.

Chinese the world's heroes are the same, to become a hero, the general script is to fall off a cliff and meet a high-ranking person in the world or get some unique secret book, in short, it is a great accident, everyone has a chance.

This random possibility brings illusions to everyone, and one day I can, who doesn't like this setting, after all, there are still many ordinary people in this world, and there are still many ordinary people who are not happy.

Rich and noble people have a certain life, there is no need to take risks, ordinary people have to reverse their predicament, a life that is destined to end after opening the blind box is also a choice, after all, there is a case in this world.

In addition to this reason, it is really cool to become superheroes and heroes, and the core of their place is that they all have superpowers, or unique martial arts, that is, mastering violence, not only can protect themselves, but more importantly, they can hurt others at will.

As long as the heroes and heroes are willing, there is no way for the world to bind them, in theory, the ability of these two types of people is already beyond the standard, and the people in the real world can't do them.

They don't need to earn money, they don't need to think about the fly camp dogs in life, and even because they master violence, they can get survival resources at will, they don't need to think about love, some people like it.

There is a problem here, since superheroes and heroes are so fierce, and no one can take care of it, it can be said that they have dangerous attributes, in case one day they turn their faces and everyone is not in trouble.

Such dangerous people, why do we think that they are righteous, but also give them such a high sense of moral sublime.

From a psychological point of view, this is actually a kind of psychological compensation, and people who are not cared for in reality will often get the love of all people in the fantasy individual.

The person who is not recognized, the person who no one cares, the fantasy self must be a person of high status, and what he says is an unbreakable command.

So the superheroes and heroes we are familiar with are very busy, we don't need heroes and chivalrous people with personal desires, we don't allow heroes and chivalrous people to abandon us, and giving them lofty morality is to hope that they can take on more responsibilities, in a word, superheroes and chivalrous people are everyone's.

They are used to satisfy our fantasies and make up for our shortcomings in the real world, so the heroes and heroes in film and television and literary works have the right to harm within the moral range, and in the real world, only the violent organs of the government have the legal right to harm, such as the public prosecutor's law and other departments.

Why this setting, as we all know, showing justice is a very difficult thing, and people who have experienced litigation know that it is a very troublesome thing to defend justice through judicial channels.

It is necessary to collect materials, write a complaint, apply for a case, hold a trial, wait for the judgment, and then apply for enforcement after the result, and when the other party is an old lai, it is necessary to apply for the enforcement of the judgment result.

In short, it is very troublesome, and there is a risk of losing the case, and the cost of getting justice is too high.

So the existence of superheroes and chivalrous people is because there is injustice everywhere in the world, and in order to reduce the trouble of achieving justice, we have simplified the procedure.

By handing over the right to harm to achieve justice to superheroes and heroes, and giving them the ability to distinguish between right and wrong, and having high morals and no flaws, everything becomes simple.

The reason why people who have experienced great ups and downs and catastrophes are prone to give birth to mythical great people is because of blind worship, or it may be that we need it.
