According to Jason Dittmer, Captain America is more a representation of American society than a leader in his training, and the comic is therefore an excellent source to see American values. The captain says: “The Americans have many objectives, some quite contrary to others. In the land of the free, each of us is capable of doing what we want, of thinking what we want to think. That’s normal, but it gives rise to many different versions of what America is.” We must take note of the importance of the diversity of American values ​​and cultures, which in turn is expressed through democratic ideology. So when Captain America supports the U.S. government, he does so not out of loyalty to the government but out of loyalty to democracy. This is representative of America's interventionist foreign policy. When the United States fights wars, it is rarely seen as an expansionist move, but rather as an attempt to spread democracy. Captain America shows this "spread of democracy" in his war against fascist regimes that inspired the beginnings of the comic strip, whereas in Europe wars were generally justified by the expansion of national power. Due to his long-standing heroism, Captain America is a symbol of democracy in the United States and thus displays American civic sense.
