Super
Anonymous
This is
satirical essay in which the anonymous writer makes fun of the excessive use of
the word ‘Super’. Actually, ‘super’ is a ‘suffix’ that is commonly used before
many words to prove that the particular item contains the super qualities but
the irony of the situation is that these particular items lack the super
qualities. This ironic situation produces humor and laughter.
First
time used
This word
first time was used by George Bernard Shaw; he talked about ‘Superman’ after Nietzsche.
After that this word was being used frequently.
The word ‘Super’
means something of superior quality. Today we use this word often before every
product to prove it as having super quality; super chocolate, super soap, super
cigarettes etc. Due to the excessive use of the word super, it has lost its
real meanings.
Superman
In the
ancient times, the titles were given to the men who had certain qualities and
they were lords, peers and counts. During the age of Renaissance noblemen were proud
to show themselves off as Caesar Borgia, tried to be a superman. Nowadays, we
do not claim ourselves as supermen. But we are pleased to call our products and
things as super products and super things.
Message
of the essay
Instead of
using this word ‘super’ , we should try to increase the quality of the things.
