While traditional heroes have been defined as tough due to their individualism and ability to confront obstacles by themselves, Sharon Ross argues that in superhero stories new visions of heroism show that women grow as heroes because of their female friends. In Arrow, Sara and her sister Laurel encourage each other to strive to be the best they can be. Making Laurel, who in traditional comics would been viewed as a sidekick is seen as a hero under the new visions of heroism because when they are together they demonstrate that women can be tough enough to handle anything when they join others. This is also known as epistemic negotiation.
Epistemic negotiation is when individuals build knowledge collectively as well as emotionally knowing what is going on when an event happens. In Helena Huntress episode of Arrow the audience sees the Laurel and Sara encouraging one another to be a better, stronger person as well as them working together to get the hostages to safety. Though it may have been tough at first to distinguish how epistemic negotiation was going to play out, it becomes perfectly clear at the end of the episode.

...and the Canary's talk, the Canary gets a message from Arrow that they have a way out. The Canary tries to get Laurel to leave, but she refuses to leave without rescuing the hostages. When the Canary tells Laurel she will save them Laurel says that she wants to help. By deciding to help Laurel was demonstrating a new visions of heroism because even though she doesn't have a lot of skill in fighting and rather go about things by talking, but instead Laurel is risking her life to save others. It’s important to note that while this side of Laurel may have been inside of her the entire time, it wasn’t showcased until the Canary brought it out of her. Which is more or less what Sharon Ross argues when she says, “females who seem unheroic or passive initially learn heroism from Xena, Gabrielle, Buffy and Willow.”(232) However in this case Laurel learns heroism from Canary.

Article one, Section 8 of the Constitution states Congress has the power “To raise and support Armies, but no Appropriation of Money to that Use shall be for a longer Term than two Years.” This clause gives Congress to rise and maintain an Army as they see fit. This idea goes against what we as Americans just fought for. More importantly this clause gives the federal government massive power over the state level government. As started in Article two, Section two “The President shall be the Commander in Chief of the Army and Navy of the United States.” These two clauses combined could very well lead to a government not to different than that of the English Monarch. Lastly the state ran militias can protect their own states and still will be able to collapse into one unified Army if there is a threat to the nation as a whole.

Case study number two is a four-page article written by Marian L. Houser and Astrid Sheil, and it’s titled “How Do You Get Anything Done Around Here?” The article focuses on the concept of real organizational experiences, but primarily Kate Elliot’s experience and dissatisfaction with her job at Donaldson Family Foods, Inc. Kate’s a hard-working, educated woman who is initially impressed with the Donaldson Food, Inc., especially at the opportunity that she has to become the national brand manager. As time goes on, and her first project’s assigned, Kate notices countless negatives within the organization, including how the company remains a low-growth business, its employees’ lack of competitiveness and hurry, and the SMART group’s “Black Hole,” a term referring to the grinding halt that’s applied to all initiatives, ideas, and proposals. In this case, Kate’s cooking bag project faces the dueling black hole. Throughout my paper, I will relate and apply Kate’s experience to organizational culture and socialization, how the conflict is handled, both verbal and nonverbal communication, and possible suggestions for Kate.

Very crucial to Dinah’s eventual freedom and liberation from her displeasing life is her enduring patience.

Without patience, determination in achieving her goals, and perseverance through the challenging events of her life, Dinah would not have achieved such satisfying liberation in her later years. It is the patience and the decision to wait for the good that is to come that provide Dinah and Pecola with such remarkable liberation.
While fulfilling their journey, a hero must undergo a psychological change that involves experiencing a transformation from immaturity into independence and sophistication. Campbell states that these events are what ultimately guides a hero into completing their journey by, “leaving one condition and finding the source of life to bring you forth into a richer more mature condition” (Moyers 1). She first enters her journey when she learns about invisible strength from her mother, “I was six when my mother taught me the art of invisible strength. It was strategy for winning arguments, respect from others, and eventually, though neither of us knew it at the time, chess games”(Tan 89).

These people rushing to the aid of the woman (Moore and Gibbons XI, 25, panel 7) suggest that a true hero is not always in a costume, and does not always cover his/her face, however heroes are ordinary citizens that put their own issues aside just to help others.
