The Importance Of Trauma In Batman Beuma

1150 Words5 Pages

The topic and discussion of trauma have been scrutinized for years. As it upheaves daily life and all it’s familiarities, trauma can be both distressing and shocking for those who encounter it. Despite not having the right to do so, most people are heavily opinionated when it comes to how trauma should be dealt with by the individual who experiences it. Some presume that a traumatic experience should prompt people to improve themselves and become stronger versions of their past self, but some believe victims of trauma have the right to act out in violence or hate as a result. This debate is brought to life in the film Batman Begins (Batman Begins). In the film, Bruce Wayne deals with the pain caused by the traumatic loss of his parents by isolating himself from all who care for him. …show more content…

In an attempt to put an end to Wayne isolating himself, those surrounding him attempt to persuade him to claim his position at the head of his father’s company, as they feel it is his duty to maintain it. He, however feels he needs more time to heal from his loss, which prompts him to begin traveling all over the world in search of answers. As he begins his journey of healing, the film showcases his transformation from traumatized child to superhero.

    This film accurately depicts an important issue among veterans with PTSD, in that many United States veterans do not receive the mental health care that they need once they return from war. All veterans receive treatment for their physical injuries, but few receive treatment for psychological injuries following traumatic experiences.

    The Dark Knight Returns proposes that vigilantism is not only a preferable course of action in light of civil indifference, it is the correct choice. I agree with this statement, as the public display of vigilant justice portrayed by Batman ultimately shows hope and confidence in the civilians. In contrast to the typical hero figures, Batman is more aggressive and violent in order to get the job done and pursue his needs. This reinforces the idea of standing up to what the individual thinks is right, the power to fight back against the broken system and the assailants. Batman as the figure of vigilante justice shows enhances the strive for freedom for the population, against the government and the

  • Who Are The Victims Of Violence Chapter 7 Summary

    741 Words  | 3 Pages

    Chapter 7, titled “Who Are the Victims of Violence,” was interesting because the author wrote the chapter from the victim’s perspective and through their experiences. I found it sad to read about all these victims who are seen to be blamed for the torture that they endured. The chapter is introduced with some rights that victims are given by the states to protect them. These rights include the right to be noticed, present, heard, protected, have a speedy trial, restitution, and the right of privacy and confidentiality. Prior to reading this chapter, I had no knowledge of the specific rights that victims are promised, but I think it is honorable of our government to offer them these rights.

Being in a state of total helplessness, this child holds on to whatever strength he could muster. The child, limited to hearing, imprints on the voice of his captors. This memory is so emblazoned in his memory that when he hears the voice, the tone, the pattern of speech, he immediately feels threatened, and as if still restrained, freezes in trauma and urinates on
