Are archetypal characters still relevant to today's society? Do they accurately represent American culture?

1) Yes, archetyoal characters are still relevant in today's society.

2) Yes, archetypal characters still accurately represent  American culture.

Explanation:

An archetypal character is a character that exhibits or depicts universally recognised and accepted traits or qualities. Archetypal characters are epitomes or perfect examples of an idea, concept, person or thing.

The main actor/actress in a movie or drama script is often depicted as either a hero or a villain.

The Hero for example, starts out as a normal, everyday person who goes through and overcomes a very difficult and often painful situation/tragedy

Heroes/Villians are examples of archetypal characters because they are perfect examples of charcyters human beings can relate with in their everyday life.

Also, fathers/mothers are also examples of archetypal characters they convey or depict the image of the universally accepted concept of parenting.

So, YES, archetypal are still very relevant to today's cultures and society as people can still relate with and understand them.

2) The American culture today is hinged on icons and role models that people look up to in various fields of endeavours.

There are fashion icons, music icons, sports icons, movie icons, political icons etc in American culture today.

The word 'Icon' itself is an example of an archetype as it conveys the image of a successful person in his/her chosen field with sterling qualities that are worthy of emulation.

Therefore, archetypal characters do still accurately represent American culture.

as we know, the english language is spoken all over the world by native and non-native speakers and has become the most certain tool when it comes to communicating. businesses, schools, even romantic relationships depend on it to keep thriving. in addition, it is the language of the internet not only because most of the content available is in english, but also because people prefer to use it when talking to others, since it's the language everyone supposedly learns.

yet, there have been some current claims that chinese will soon take over as the most important language in the world. china's magnitude has never been more evident and doing business with the chinese is a gold mine for any country. we now see language schools offering chinese courses as commonly as english.

however - even though we cannot deny china's importance and the advantage it is when someone takes the time to learn the language their business contact speaks-, people in general seem to be ignoring the aspects that seem to keep english as the chosen one of languages. one of them has been mentioned above: it is the language of the internet. also, chinese people are still learning english, since it opens doors in communicating with practically everyone else, from every single country.

note: if this is not the sort of transition you need, let me know. : d
