| Depends on how the 'good' and 'evil' are defined in whatever society.
Heros are portrayed in a desireable way and villians in a repulsive way. If good and evil are defined by behaviors that benefit/harm society, then I see no problem with this. It attracts members towards a unified set of virtues. However, if good and evil are defined by spiritual belief or physical qualities, then members are divided and generations are raised to cull genetic traits and ideologies. The extreme case: genocide. I wouldn't want to be in such a society, but that may be because I've been raised to love/hate behaviors and tolerate diverse physical and ideological aspects. |
