How A Stupid Super Hero Save The CityBy Chong Jia Yi, Zoe Low, Abdullah Mamode, Deenie H’yatt and Ee Yun Shan

The Bystander Effect

DEFINITION: phenomenon in which the greater the

number of people present, the less

likely people are to help a person in distress.

WHY?

1)The presence of other people creates a diffusion of

responsibility

2) need to behave in correct and socially acceptable

ways.

IN COMIC:

The crowd witness the crime happen. The woman

shouted for help but no one responds and help

her.

Hierarchy of NeedsThe hero’s short background history

1) He wants some Physiological Needs as

well as Safety and Security

2) he needs food, water and shelter first,

which shows his struggles to survive.

3) He needs to fit in as he wants some

friends or people to be accompanied

with so he doesn’t feel lonely.

As his background history progresses on, it

focuses onto the rest of the concept such as self

esteem, intellectual, aesthetic and self

actualisation. He began to develop a need to

gain respect from others by building up his

confidence and skills. He wants to show what

he can do, expressing his need to use his

determination to the fullest.

Self-Fulfilling Prophecy

- Any positive or negative expectation about

circumstances, events, or people that may

affect a person’s behaviour toward them in a

manner that causes those expectations to be

fulfilled.

- A self-fulfilling prophecy is a prediction that

directly or indirectly causes itself to become

true,

Self Fulfilling Prophecy

Comic

The people watching the scene scared to help because

the incident happened on sudden which causing them

to be surprised and don’t know what to do. They

scared they might get beaten by the bad guys.

As for the hero, he thought that he could stand up for

justice and save the woman but ended up getting

beaten by the bad guys.

Self Fulfilling prophecy can be seen from the people

watching the scene because what they’ve seen is what

they’ve predicted.

OBSERVATIONAL LEARNING

- A learnt that occurs through

observing of others.

- does not need reinforcement to

occur, but instead, requires a

model.

OBSERVATIONAL LEARNING

The Stupid Hero tried to save and help the

girl although he lost and failed to help the girl at

the last. The viewers learnt the brave and sense of

justice through him when they see this scene.

People always observed and learning the events or

incidents that occur around us, no matter the

situations are serious or not.

Media Influence

First there were books as a source of media, then

become newspapers, magazines, photography, sound

recordings, films, radio, television, then the internet

and then the social media

All of the traditional mass media have a great

influence in our lives. Books were once influential

because they came first before newspaper,

magazines, radio or television.

Newspaper and Magazines become more influential

as it evolves and developes. Films and sound

recordings were and still are influential. Then Radio

and Television became more influential

Media Influences

Comic

The superhero was filmed by the public and was uploaded

in YouTube. As other people watched the video, they

became a fan of him and started seeing him as a role

model to them and that’s how the people got influenced

after watching that superhero video on youtube and

became his fan and want to become like him.
