According to Jason Dittmer, Captain America is more of a representation of American society rather than a leader in shaping it, and therefore the comic is an excellent source for seeing American values. The Captain says: “The Americans have many objectives, some quite contrary to others. In the land of freedom each of us can do what we want, think what we want to think. It's as it should be, but it creates so many different versions of what America is. We must acknowledge the importance of diversity in American values ​​and cultures, which in turn is expressed through democratic ideology. Therefore, when Captain America supports the United States government, he does so not out of loyalty to the government but out of loyalty to democracy. This is representative of the interventionist foreign policy of the United States. When the United States fights a war, 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 the fascist regimes that inspired the beginnings of the comic, while in Europe wars were typically justified by the expansion of national power. Thanks to his long-standing heroism, Captain America is a symbol of democracy in the United States and therefore shows American civic-mindedness
