7]Man as the Hero
The hero is defined as a male who excels in sports, business, politics, or the military.
This advertisement for Honda's sponsoring of the Los Angeles Marathon was placed on the back cover page of a news magazine in March of 2003. You see how the man is winning the race, with a female close behind him and in order for him to beat her, he must gain some more speed. He is the hero because he triumphs over everyone and has the control of it. The woman's face in the picture does not show her as confident in winning it is shown by his expression. The comic book cartoon also gives one the sense of the man having super human power adding to the "hero effect".
