Literal history and literary history - western genre has many sexist and racist concepts, but is also resistant towards the attitudes that were sexist towards women. Heroic figures: white men, a clear line between winners and losers, cowboys and indians. Horrors include committing cruelty that would numb the feeling of inflicting pain on others. Sense of triumph tends to be chosen over the sense of softer feelings (love, sadness, etc. ) In order to hurt someone else, you can"t worry about how they feel.
