Culture clash of heros/princesses

I think the arguments about princess/superhero culture are indeed a valid idea for children to have someone to believe in and to help adjustment into adulthood. For many, there has to be an outlet from reality or a hero to look up to so that she/he can find a goal to reach. In other words, if you do not have a reason or a response to help one tackle problems  then find another way instead of waiting for that hero to save you. You should be able to want to solve the problem yourself. Girls look for the knight on the white horse to whisk them off to live everlasting while boys look for ways to save the world and the girl is the prize, sometimes. If you have ever been read to or read a nursery rhyme or a fairy tale, heroes exist is all stages of stories and life. It is just that in a day and age when there is so much terror around, one has to have something or someone to follow or model a particular situation from. I come from a generation in which princesses and heroes were the norm to learn to grow up from but yet learn life lessons or how to tackle certain situations without stressing over the outcome. Today there is a culture clash because of the exposure of violence and reality instead of using our imaginations. Imagination can help to see a reality that was exposed as harsh but can allow one to escape from that until ready to tackle it instead of using drugs, for example. Some have not had the opportunity to live such a fantasy because there is too much reality, when the reality is that if one does not have a superhero as a part of her/his life then life will take over and imagination, creative, and fun will have no part of one trying to live life to the fullest. Go ahead, take charge, right some wrongs be the hero or princess to make everything better for others.
