digitaljourney:
This is very closely linked to my graduate thesis, which was focused on teaching children’s rights and citizenship in the classroom. It’s also an informative and interesting read if you’re in education.
Whenever I’m trying to promote a program like this, the response from schools is generally hesitation due to time constraints. But, as the article indicates, it actually saves...

optimistic-red-velvet-walrus asked: In the DC University, people with beyond-human abilities are "metahuman". So, if we're going to be calling heroes/villains "super" based on their abilities and not the scope of their heroics/villainy, couldn't one call Batman a "superhero" based on the fact that he is particularly strong and intelligent? When you say someone did a "super job", you...
optimistic-red-velvet-walrus asked: How do you define a superhero? Is it a person with capacities beyond that of any possible human being and uses it for good or? Is this compared to any possible human being irl or any possible human being in comics (considering Batman would be dead by now irl from the damage to his body).
