How do you prepare this kids?

Caption: You give them hope.
Caption: Superman could do something no other superhero could do: change the world.
His strength isn't his ability to lift a car, or deflect bullets off of his chest, it's his ability to inspire people.
To give hope to the hopeless.
Superman was intended to be a model, a guiding light for the regular kid to look up to as inspiration to fight on.

Caption: Superman can fly and then shoots fire from his eyes and it is difficult not to think of him as a god.
But once we scratch the surface, we will understand that he is the most human of us all.
An alien by nature, a human by nurture.

Caption: What makes Superman a 'Superman' is his humanity.
Caption: Over the last 75 years politics have changed, cultures have changed, but Superman has remained constant.
He remains the idealized human being absent of any moral or spiritual flaws. Superman is human perfection and represents the impulse in human beings to become better, more loving, and more compassionate.
He reminds us of ourselves, of what we can be when we are at our absolute best.
Caption: Superman's job is to change the hearts of mankind. He wants to do heroic things to help people see the good in this world and make them strive to be better than themselves.
Especially today, in a world where pop culture and mainstream press focuses on telling people how fucked up they are and there is an absence of role models, leaders, and outstanding members of society to lead us.
He gives us hope.
He gives us something to believe in.
Caption: We need him, more than ever.
To learn how to be brave.
To learn how to survive being different.
To learn how to be there for each other
Picture
Caption: We need him because he shows us that we are the ones that can make this world a better place.
