Assay challenge N3. Finding societies characters.
If heroes and role models reveal a society's highest ideals, is the best way to understand the character of a society, to examine the character of the men and women that the society chooses as its heroes or its role models?
At this time society is very complex, groups of people can be differentiated by age, gender, culture and religion and they could have different role models that reveal its highest ideal. CHaracterizing this society it will be not easy. But reduced people's groups could be characterized by its role models.
Some years ago or in small groups of people one way to understand its social ideals and character is through his heroes or role models. For example the ancient Aztecs, and in other cultures as well, heroes were warriors who defeat dark entities, so it could be assumed by this and some historical descriptions, that, warriors were venerated and wars promoted. Also, it is could be assumed that Mexicans are submissived because its principal deity is a God who forgives all.
However, complex societies are open to others views, so the societies character is not related with heroes but objectives. For example in cosmopolitan cities, like new york, there are a lot of different heroes or role models that maybe the ideals aren't interchangeable like ideas from different religions. Despite their differences, people who live there come from or has family who comes from another place, where they had not opportunities. So the character of this community is an always look for the better.
In conclusión, the human is ever looking for the best, society will use heroes to find it or will look for ways to find it, like moving to find a better place. Thay ways will describe the character of society.
